UNIT I BASICS OF OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS
PART A
4. Define input offset current. State the reasons for the offset currents at the input of
the op-amp.
The difference between the bias currents at the input terminals of the op-amp is
called as input offset current. The input terminals conduct a small value of dc current to
bias the input transistors.Since the input transistors cannot be made identical, there exists a
difference in bias currents.
6. Define sensitivity.
Sensitivity is defined as the percentage or fractional change in output current per
percentage or fractional change in power-supply voltage.
7. Define slew rate. What causes slew rate?
The slew rate is defined as the maximum rate of change of output voltage caused by
a step input voltage.An ideal slew rate is infinite which means that op-amp’s output voltage
should change instantaneously in response to input step voltage.
There is a capacitor with-in or outside of an op-amp to prevent oscillation.It is this
capacitor which prevents the output voltage from responding immediately to a fast
changing input.
14.List out the ideal characteristics Of Op-amp, and draw the equivalent diagram of an Op-
amp.
15.Define Virtual ground property of an Op-amp.
16.Draw the voltage follower circuit of an Op-amp.
17.Define Input offset current and input offset voltage.
18.Define Voltage sources.
19.Define voltage reference.
20.Define C.M.R.R
21.Define slew rate.
22.What is active load? Where it is used and why?
23.What is the difference between the open loop and close loop gain of an
Op-amp.
24.List out the advantages of IC over discrete component circuit
25.Define Thermal Drift?
26.What are the causes of slew rate?
27.What is an ideal op-amp?
28.Draw the circuit of a Widlar current source and write the expression for its output
current?
29.Draw the Block diagram of operational amplifier stage.
30.Draw the Pin diagram and Symbol for Op-amp.
31.What is mean by Band gap reference Voltage?
32.Define Integrated Circuit.
