TUTORIAL 2
(With answers at the end)
1. A difference amplifier with a gain of 2 is made from an op-amp with the following
parameters: VIO=2mV maximum; IBIAS=100nA; IIO=0. If both inputs are set to zero,
what is the maximum expected offset value of vOUT?
b) If the op-amp is non-ideal and has input bias currents I+ and I- and input offset
voltage VIO, find an expression for vOUT when vS=0.
c) Combine the answers to parts (a) and (b) to find the total output when vS is
nonzero.
d) The feedback resistors in the amplifier are set to 25kΩ and 100 kΩ, so that the
amplifier has a gain of 5. If IBIAS=(I++I-)/2=100 nA, IIO=-40nA, and VIO=2mV,
what value of RS will minimize the total dc offset component at vOUT?
a) If both stages remain in the linear region, find an expression for the output
voltage that includes the effect of VIO. Express the gain of each stage in terms of
the ratio of its resistor values. (Stage 1 gain = -R2/Rl; stage 2 gain = -R4/R3.)
b) If vIN is a sinusoid of 25mV peak magnitude, what is the maximum gain of the
second stage if vOUT is to remain within the specified swing limits?
a) If the input voltage is a 10-mV peak sinusoid, what is the maximum frequency
that can be applied before the slew rate limitation is reached?

b) Repeat part(a) for an input voltage that consists of a 10-mV peak triangular
waveform.
c) Sketch the output voltage versus time if the input is a 10mV peak square wave.
a) If the op-amp has an input bias current of luA, calculate the dc value of vOUT
when vIN=0. Assume IIO=0.
b) Choose an additional resistor to be put in series with the input source so that dc
offset found in part (a) is forced to zero.
a) If the input is a sinusoidal voltage, what peak magnitude drives the output to its
full swing range if Vsat-pos=14.3 Vsat-neg=-14V?
b) For the input voltage found in part (a), what is the maximum frequency in hertz
that the input voltage can have before slew rate limitation becomes important ?
