Summary

Instrumentation Amplifiers

Guarding is available in some IAs to reduce noise effects.


By driving the shield with the common-mode signal, effects
of stray capacitance are effectively cancelled.
Guarding is useful in
applications such as
transducer interfacing,
and microphone
preamps where very
small signals need to
be transmitted.

Summary

The Operational Transconductance Amplifier

The operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) is a


voltage-to-current amplifier. As in the case of FETs, the
conductance is output current divided by input voltage.
Thus, g  I out The gain is controlled by VBIAS in this
m
Vin circuit.
+V +VBIAS
Like FETs, the gain of an amplifier is
written in terms of gm: Av  gm RL R1 RBIAS
Vin – I BIAS
Unlike FETs, the OTA has a gm that OTA Vout
can be “programmed” by the amount +
of bias current. Thus gain can be R2 RL
changed electronically by varying a Iout

Summary

The Operational Transconductance Amplifier


The OTA adds a measure of control to circuits commonly implemented
with conventional op-amps. Applications for OTAs include voltage
controlled low-pass or high-pass filters, voltage controlled waveform
generators and amplifiers, modulators, comparators, and Schmitt triggers.

diode is proportional to the log of the current in the diode.

Summary

The Logarithmic Amplifier

When a diode is placed in the feedback path of an inverting


op-amp, the output voltage is proportional to the log of the
input voltage. The gain decreases with increasing input
voltage; therefore the amplifier is said to compress signals.
Many sensors, particularly photo-
Iin IF
sensors, have a very large dynamic Vin
+V –
range outputs. Current from R1 F
0V
photodiodes can range over 5 –
decades. A log amp will amplify the Op-amp Vout

small current more than the larger +

current to effectively compress the


data for further processing.

Summary

The Logarithmic Amplifier

When a BJT is used in the feedback path, the output is


referred to the ground of the base connection rather than
the virtual ground. This eliminates offset and bias current
errors. For the BJT, IEBO replaces IR in the equation for Vout:

Summary

The Antilog Amplifier

An antilog amplifier produces an output proportional to the


input raised to a power. In effect, it is the reverse of the log
amp. The equation for Vout for the basic BJT antilog amp is:
