This is done by breaking the closed feedback loop at the op amp output, and measuring the total gain around the loop. The term “loop gain” comes from the method of measurement. The improvement in closed-loop performance due to negative feedback is, in nearly every case, proportional to loop gain. The product A VOL β which appears in the above equations, is called loop gain, a well known term in feedback theory. This in turn leads to an estimation of the percentage error, β, due to finite gain A VOL:Īgain this error goes to zero as A VOL goes to infinity. It is useful to note some assumptions associated with the rightmost error multiplier term of equation 3.4. Simply use the β factor as it applies to the specific case. So equation 3.4 will suffice for gain error analysis for both inverting and non-inverting stages. Both inverting and non-inverting gain stages have a common feedback basis, which is the noise gain. It may seem logical here to develop another finite gain error expression for an inverting amplifier, but in actuality there is no need. Accordingly, it is referred to in some textbooks as the error multiplier term, when the expression is shown in this form. Note also that this right-most term becomes closer and closer to unity, as A VOL approaches infinity. It is important to note that this expression is identical to the ideal gain expression of equation 3.2, with the addition of the bracketed multiplier on the right side. Where G CL is the finite-gain stage's closed-loop gain and A VOL is the op amp open-loop voltage gain for loaded conditions. Including the β effects of finite op amp gain, a modified gain expression for the non-inverting stage is: Noise gain can be abbreviated as NG.Īs noted, the inverse of ß is the ideal non-inverting op amp stage gain. This can ultimately be extended to include frequency dependence (covered later in this chapter). In other words, the inverse of the β network transfer function. Noise gain can now be simply defined as: The inverse of the net feedback attenuation from the amplifier output to the feedback input. The feedback attenuation, β, is the same for both the inverting and non-inverting stages: To make things more general, the resistive feedback components previously shown are replaced here with the more general symbols Z F and Z G, otherwise they function as before. Note however that in terms of the feedback path, there are no real differences. For a ground at point G1, the stage is an inverter conversely, if the ground is placed at point G2 (with no G1) the stage is non-inverting. But, as can be noticed from figure 3.1, the difference between an inverting and non-inverting stage can be as simple as just where the reference ground is placed. We have already discussed the differences between non-inverting and inverting stages as to their signal gains, which are summarized in equations 3.1 and 3.2, respectively. Adjust the wiper until the output offset voltage is reduced to zero.The first aid to analyzing op amps circuits is to differentiate between noise gain and signal gain. Adjustment of this pot will null the output.Ģ) By varying the position of the wiper on the 10kΩ potentiometer, we are trying to remove the mismatch between inverting and non-inverting terminals of op-amp. Method to achieve compensation:ġ) To offset this input voltage we have offset null pins in 741 op-amp, hence connect 10kΩ potentiometer across offset null pins 1 and 5 and a wiper be connected to negative supply pin 4 as shown in Figure 1. Need of input offset voltage compensation:ġ) For 741C $V_$ to zero, the op-amp is then said to be nulled or balanced.
