00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,290
>> Now, I want to spend some time talking about operational amplifiers.

2
00:00:10,290 --> 00:00:15,645
Operational amplifiers are a device that gets used a lot in electrical circuits.

3
00:00:15,645 --> 00:00:18,460
You will see them over and over again this semester.

4
00:00:18,460 --> 00:00:20,670
They get used a lot in instrumentation systems.

5
00:00:20,670 --> 00:00:24,030
They get used a lot in control systems, etc, etc.

6
00:00:24,030 --> 00:00:27,450
They're quite often the basis for electrical circuits,

7
00:00:27,450 --> 00:00:30,210
which perform mathematical operations.

8
00:00:30,210 --> 00:00:33,450
That's why they're called operational amplifiers.

9
00:00:33,450 --> 00:00:37,595
Now, there's one point that has to be made very clear up front.

10
00:00:37,595 --> 00:00:40,055
These are not a passive device.

11
00:00:40,055 --> 00:00:43,370
So far, with the exception of our power sources,

12
00:00:43,370 --> 00:00:48,440
all of our circuit elements have been passive than resistors, essentially.

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:55,115
That means that the energy delivered by the circuit to the element is non-negative.

14
00:00:55,115 --> 00:01:01,405
This element does not create power out of somewhere else and provide it to the circuit.

15
00:01:01,405 --> 00:01:06,180
Okay, it has to get any energy that it has from the circuit.

16
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,255
Operational amplifiers are in active device.

17
00:01:11,255 --> 00:01:15,690
Okay. They will deliver power to your circuit.

18
00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:23,630
The way they deliver power to your circuit is because they have an external power supply.

19
00:01:23,630 --> 00:01:27,560
There's some other magical device somewhere that is feeding

20
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,685
these guys power, which these guys can then provide to your circuit.

21
00:01:31,685 --> 00:01:37,415
I will tend to abbreviate operational amplifiers as op-amps.

22
00:01:37,415 --> 00:01:41,610
That's very common, primarily, just to save syllables.

23
00:01:41,860 --> 00:01:45,215
Quick overview of operational amplifiers.

24
00:01:45,215 --> 00:01:48,395
We're going to think of operational amplifiers as a device.

25
00:01:48,395 --> 00:01:51,835
It's something that performs some task.

26
00:01:51,835 --> 00:01:55,670
So, we're going to think of them as a black box.

27
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:58,860
There is a bunch of internal circuitry in these guys.

28
00:01:58,860 --> 00:02:02,390
We won't be analyzing these on that level.

29
00:02:02,390 --> 00:02:04,340
Okay. They're going to be a black box that has

30
00:02:04,340 --> 00:02:06,665
essentially some input output characteristic.

31
00:02:06,665 --> 00:02:08,824
That's all we care about.

32
00:02:08,824 --> 00:02:13,670
One of the drawbacks of dealing with things this way is that it may

33
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:18,230
appear as if KCL and KVL don't apply to these guys.

34
00:02:18,230 --> 00:02:19,745
That's not true.

35
00:02:19,745 --> 00:02:25,520
If you model the internal circuitry, these guys do satisfy KVL and KCL.

36
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,575
It's just that there's something very complicated going on inside there.

37
00:02:29,575 --> 00:02:32,180
Number one, they've got an external power supply that's

38
00:02:32,180 --> 00:02:35,180
feeding them current or voltage or whatever,

39
00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:38,360
that we are generally not going to worry too much about when we're

40
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,970
looking at the op-amp as part of an overall circuit.

41
00:02:41,970 --> 00:02:46,250
So, what we're going to end up with are several rules

42
00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:48,940
for how the op-amp is going to behave.

43
00:02:48,940 --> 00:02:53,705
Okay. Those are based on an analysis of the internal circuitry,

44
00:02:53,705 --> 00:02:56,270
but we aren't going to worry about that translation.

45
00:02:56,270 --> 00:02:58,100
We're just going to have a few rules that we're going to say

46
00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:00,290
this is the way this device behaves,

47
00:03:00,290 --> 00:03:04,740
we're going to forget about it until a 400-level class later on.

48
00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:09,200
So, we're going to use op-amps to perform operations,

49
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,370
but we don't need to actually design and build the operational amplifiers

50
00:03:13,370 --> 00:03:19,050
themselves or analyze them on a detailed level at this stage in our career.

51
00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:26,465
Here's a schematic of a very common 741 operational amplifier.

52
00:03:26,465 --> 00:03:28,370
You can see that it's pretty complex.

53
00:03:28,370 --> 00:03:31,895
It has a whole bunch of bipolar junction transistors in it.

54
00:03:31,895 --> 00:03:36,410
It has a bunch of resistors. It has a couple of inputs.

55
00:03:36,410 --> 00:03:40,850
It has an output. It has a couple of external power supplies and

56
00:03:40,850 --> 00:03:44,405
it's got some stuff here that we don't even need to worry about yet.

57
00:03:44,405 --> 00:03:47,810
But we aren't going to deal with this internal view of

58
00:03:47,810 --> 00:03:52,320
the operational amplifier, we're going to treat it as a black box.

59
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,200
Okay, our high level view of an operational amplifier is going to be to

60
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,570
represent it just as this rightward pointing triangle.

61
00:04:01,570 --> 00:04:07,280
This device has three terminals. There are two input terminals.

62
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,190
They have a positive and a negative sign associated with

63
00:04:10,190 --> 00:04:13,775
them and one output terminal here.

64
00:04:13,775 --> 00:04:20,149
V_n is the voltage applied at the inverting or negative input terminal.

65
00:04:20,149 --> 00:04:26,525
V_p is the voltage applied at the non-inverting or positive input terminal.

66
00:04:26,525 --> 00:04:32,020
The out comes at the output of the operational amplifier.

67
00:04:32,020 --> 00:04:34,730
Now, there are a number of parameters that

68
00:04:34,730 --> 00:04:39,900
this operational amplifiers operation is going to be characterized relative to.

69
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:44,330
They're not necessarily these individual values, they're something else.

70
00:04:44,330 --> 00:04:47,210
The first of these is the difference in

71
00:04:47,210 --> 00:04:50,605
voltage between the inverting and non-inverting terminals.

72
00:04:50,605 --> 00:04:54,060
The change in voltage between V_p and V_n.

73
00:04:54,060 --> 00:05:02,555
So, Delta V_in is V_p minus V sub n. That's the voltage difference.

74
00:05:02,555 --> 00:05:06,950
Keep in mind that generally, according to our operational amplifier behavior,

75
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:09,650
we don't care what these individual voltages are,

76
00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:13,105
we just care what the difference is between them.

77
00:05:13,105 --> 00:05:15,800
The other thing that you use to characterize

78
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,650
operational amplifier behavior are the currents into the input terminals.

79
00:05:20,650 --> 00:05:25,865
We'll have some current into the positive or non-inverting terminal and

80
00:05:25,865 --> 00:05:29,680
some other current into the negative or inverting terminal.

81
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,390
Okay, these parameters are what we're going to base

82
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:36,230
our rules of operational amplifier behavior on.

83
00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:39,920
Now, I want to provide the rules by which we will

84
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,100
characterize the operational amplifiers behavior.

85
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:45,740
In order to do that, I want to give a slightly more

86
00:05:45,740 --> 00:05:49,295
complete symbol for the operational amplifier.

87
00:05:49,295 --> 00:05:55,190
I said that the operational amplifier requires an external power supply to do its job.

88
00:05:55,190 --> 00:05:57,890
The power supplies are provided here and here.

89
00:05:57,890 --> 00:06:00,860
There are actually two additional terminals

90
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:04,295
that we need to worry about for five terminals in all.

91
00:06:04,295 --> 00:06:08,480
Generally, when I'm analyzing a circuit, I'll leave these off

92
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,080
and just in the back of my mind, recognize that they're there,

93
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,875
but for right now, I need to put them back in.

94
00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:19,610
Now, I said earlier, that the operation is going to be characterized by this difference in

95
00:06:19,610 --> 00:06:27,230
voltage delta V_in and the currents into the non-inverting and inverting input terminals.

96
00:06:27,230 --> 00:06:30,380
So, when we see one of these devices,

97
00:06:30,380 --> 00:06:32,615
we're going to make the following assumptions.

98
00:06:32,615 --> 00:06:37,820
These assumptions are relative to ideal operational amplifiers.

99
00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:42,110
We will assume that the current into

100
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:47,270
the non-inverting and the inverting input terminals are both zero.

101
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:52,075
This device is not accepting any power into these terminals.

102
00:06:52,075 --> 00:06:57,080
So, any power that comes into the output comes from the power

103
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,560
supplies that you've connected up here and here.

104
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,000
We're also going to assume that the difference in voltage

105
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,500
between the positive and negative terminals has to be zero.

106
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:23,880
Therefore, V_p is going to be equal to V_n.

107
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:30,995
One other thing has to be true for operational amplifiers, this output voltage.

108
00:07:30,995 --> 00:07:39,725
The amount of output voltage you can get here is constrained by these two power supplies.

109
00:07:39,725 --> 00:07:44,810
This voltage has to be greater than the negative power supply

110
00:07:44,810 --> 00:07:48,520
and less than the positive power supply,

111
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,760
and those are strict inequalities.

112
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,275
Generally, most operational amplifiers you can only get to within

113
00:07:54,275 --> 00:07:59,370
a volt or two of your power supply voltages.

114
00:07:59,660 --> 00:08:03,965
Okay, a few points about operational amplifier behavior.

115
00:08:03,965 --> 00:08:07,460
The output current is generally not known,

116
00:08:07,460 --> 00:08:10,945
you cannot make any assumptions relative to the output current.

117
00:08:10,945 --> 00:08:14,615
Right? It's provided by the external power supplies.

118
00:08:14,615 --> 00:08:17,600
That's where people sometimes early on get themselves into trouble.

119
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,400
They say, "Okay, there's no current into the input terminals,

120
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,730
but I've got some current out of the output terminals.

121
00:08:22,730 --> 00:08:25,385
KCL doesn't apply." Well, it does.

122
00:08:25,385 --> 00:08:27,830
The current coming out of the operational amplifier is

123
00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:29,930
coming from the external power supplies,

124
00:08:29,930 --> 00:08:32,000
you know nothing about those.

125
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,090
You don't know anything about the output current unless you

126
00:08:35,090 --> 00:08:38,809
analyze the circuit to determine what that is.

127
00:08:38,809 --> 00:08:42,770
In general, when I'm analyzing an operational amplifier,

128
00:08:42,770 --> 00:08:47,795
I will start out by applying KCL at the input nodes.

129
00:08:47,795 --> 00:08:52,255
Okay. It doesn't always cure all of your problems,

130
00:08:52,255 --> 00:08:55,730
but it's generally a good place to start.

131
00:08:55,730 --> 00:09:03,065
The operation of the operational amplifiers is generally based on Delta V_in.

132
00:09:03,065 --> 00:09:09,035
If I look at this amplifier as an input-output relationship,

133
00:09:09,035 --> 00:09:14,150
what it looks like is that I have some Delta V_in,

134
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:19,505
I multiply that by some large number K.

135
00:09:19,505 --> 00:09:28,230
That gives me V_out.

136
00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:32,160
Now, for an ideal operational amplifier,

137
00:09:35,810 --> 00:09:40,095
we assume that K goes to infinity.

138
00:09:40,095 --> 00:09:43,730
Okay. For non-ideal or realistic operational amplifiers,

139
00:09:43,730 --> 00:09:45,635
K is on the order of millions.

140
00:09:45,635 --> 00:09:48,050
We'll assume it's infinite.

141
00:09:48,260 --> 00:09:55,190
Also, I mentioned earlier the output voltage is limited by the external power supplies.

142
00:09:55,190 --> 00:10:00,740
Okay, your output voltage must be lower than the positive power supply.

143
00:10:00,740 --> 00:10:04,625
It must be higher than the negative power supply.

144
00:10:04,625 --> 00:10:08,900
These two things in conjunction with one another lead

145
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:13,225
us to the conclusion that Delta V_in has to be equal to zero,

146
00:10:13,225 --> 00:10:20,530
because if V_out is infinity times Delta V_in and V_out must be finite.

147
00:10:24,690 --> 00:10:30,310
Right, we can only apply so much voltage at the power supply terminals.

148
00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:32,785
In order to make this a finite number,

149
00:10:32,785 --> 00:10:37,010
if this is infinite, this guy has to be zero.

150
00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:47,320
Okay, let's do an example of analyzing an operational amplifier based circuit.

151
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,960
Here is my op-amp. It has two inputs and one output, okay?

152
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,760
It also has some other voltage supplies and some resistors hanging around here,

153
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,255
and what I haven't shown are the external power supplies.

154
00:11:01,255 --> 00:11:07,090
I generally won't show those. Generally, when I start out analyzing one of these,

155
00:11:07,090 --> 00:11:12,775
the first thing I'm going to do is employ my op-amp rules, okay?

156
00:11:12,775 --> 00:11:17,590
There is no voltage difference between the inverting and non-inverting terminals.

157
00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:23,470
So this delta V is zero. I've tied the non-inverting terminal to ground.

158
00:11:23,470 --> 00:11:29,500
So, this voltage is zero volts. That means that since I

159
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:32,515
can't have a voltage difference between here and here,

160
00:11:32,515 --> 00:11:35,810
this voltage is zero volts.

161
00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:43,690
Likewise, the current here into the non-inverting terminal is zero,

162
00:11:43,690 --> 00:11:48,760
the current here into the inverting terminal is also zero.

163
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,440
Now, I've labeled everything that I know about this operational amplifier.

164
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:59,590
I can go ahead and analyze it to determine V_out, okay?

165
00:11:59,590 --> 00:12:04,420
As usual, I'll start out applying KCL at an input node.

166
00:12:04,420 --> 00:12:07,000
KCL at an input node is kind of a good idea,

167
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,560
because you already know something's there.

168
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:11,635
You know there's no current into the op-amp itself.

169
00:12:11,635 --> 00:12:18,470
So if I call this node A and do KCL at A,

170
00:12:19,380 --> 00:12:24,070
the current through R_in is this voltage,

171
00:12:24,070 --> 00:12:31,735
V_in minus this voltage which the op amp is constraining to be zero volts over RN.

172
00:12:31,735 --> 00:12:36,325
So V_in minus zero over R_in,

173
00:12:36,325 --> 00:12:41,110
this current into this node is equal to this current out of the node,

174
00:12:41,110 --> 00:12:44,200
because there's no current flow through this leg, here.

175
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:49,930
This current is this voltage minus this voltage over R_f.

176
00:12:49,930 --> 00:12:58,645
So that's equal to zero minus V_out over R_f.

177
00:12:58,645 --> 00:13:01,120
V_in, as my input voltage,

178
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,140
I don't know what it is,

179
00:13:02,140 --> 00:13:05,830
but I have to be told it before I can determine a number for V_out.

180
00:13:05,830 --> 00:13:12,865
So V_out, let's multiply this by R_f,

181
00:13:12,865 --> 00:13:21,460
is R_f over Rn times V_in taking this negative sign over here.

182
00:13:21,460 --> 00:13:28,270
V_out is equal to minus R_f over R_in times V_in.

183
00:13:28,270 --> 00:13:31,660
So whatever you give me for V_in,

184
00:13:31,660 --> 00:13:35,155
I'm going to multiply that by a number,

185
00:13:35,155 --> 00:13:37,330
take the negative of that,

186
00:13:37,330 --> 00:13:41,690
and this op-amp will give you that as V_out.

187
00:13:42,570 --> 00:13:46,450
This has a particular name.

188
00:13:46,450 --> 00:14:02,260
This is an inverting voltage amplifier, okay?

189
00:14:02,260 --> 00:14:04,585
It's amplifying voltage.

190
00:14:04,585 --> 00:14:05,905
You give it a voltage in,

191
00:14:05,905 --> 00:14:07,345
it gives you a voltage out.

192
00:14:07,345 --> 00:14:08,605
It inverts that.

193
00:14:08,605 --> 00:14:12,235
The voltage out you get as the negative of the voltage in.

194
00:14:12,235 --> 00:14:14,440
It is also amplifying that,

195
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,415
according to whatever you choose for R_f and R_in.

196
00:14:18,415 --> 00:14:21,790
If R_f is 10 ohms and R_in is one ohms,

197
00:14:21,790 --> 00:14:24,910
then this is going to be 10 and the output voltage is

198
00:14:24,910 --> 00:14:29,030
going to be negative 10 times whatever the input voltage is.

199
00:14:29,220 --> 00:14:33,130
Let's analyze another operational amplifier circuit.

200
00:14:33,130 --> 00:14:38,380
I want to find V_out with this operational amplifier based circuit.

201
00:14:38,380 --> 00:14:41,890
Notice, again, that I have my three terminal device.

202
00:14:41,890 --> 00:14:47,470
It has some non-inverting and inverting terminal in and output terminal.

203
00:14:47,470 --> 00:14:49,690
I'm not showing my power supplies,

204
00:14:49,690 --> 00:14:51,805
but if I wired this circuit up in the lab,

205
00:14:51,805 --> 00:14:55,150
I would need to provide power to it, okay?

206
00:14:55,150 --> 00:14:57,565
So let's find V_out as a function of V_in.

207
00:14:57,565 --> 00:15:02,380
The first thing I want to do is apply my op-amp rules.

208
00:15:02,380 --> 00:15:07,645
This voltage source is insisting that

209
00:15:07,645 --> 00:15:13,495
the voltage at the non-inverting terminal is going to be set to be V_in.

210
00:15:13,495 --> 00:15:17,110
The op-amp itself is insisting that

211
00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:20,305
there is no voltage difference between these two terminals,

212
00:15:20,305 --> 00:15:24,550
therefore I must have voltage V_in at this terminal.

213
00:15:24,550 --> 00:15:29,990
Therefore, this voltage here is V_in.

214
00:15:30,180 --> 00:15:36,220
Now, I have no current into these terminals.

215
00:15:36,220 --> 00:15:44,055
Notice, very importantly, this voltage source is not providing any power, okay?

216
00:15:44,055 --> 00:15:46,230
The current out of the voltage source is zero.

217
00:15:46,230 --> 00:15:50,165
It's not providing any power in order to create this output voltage.

218
00:15:50,165 --> 00:15:55,360
Any power in this output signal is coming from the external power supplies.

219
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,385
So these currents are zero.

220
00:15:57,385 --> 00:15:59,425
I know something about that current.

221
00:15:59,425 --> 00:16:04,060
Now I'm going to my old fallback standard position.

222
00:16:04,060 --> 00:16:06,865
I'm going to do KCL at the input nodes.

223
00:16:06,865 --> 00:16:11,515
Let me call this node A. I'll apply a KCL there.

224
00:16:11,515 --> 00:16:18,085
Let me say that this current through the resistor Rf is I_f,

225
00:16:18,085 --> 00:16:21,520
and this current through R_1 is I_1,

226
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,475
and those are going to be my positive directions.

227
00:16:24,475 --> 00:16:31,330
So KCL, at A, tells me that the current going into node A

228
00:16:31,330 --> 00:16:33,760
is equal to the current coming out of node A,

229
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,915
so I_f is equal to I_1.

230
00:16:37,915 --> 00:16:42,760
This current is zero, right?

231
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,970
I don't need to list it in my KCL.

232
00:16:45,970 --> 00:16:51,190
Now, I_f is this voltage minus this voltage, over R_f.

233
00:16:51,190 --> 00:17:01,450
So, V_out minus V_in over R_f is equal to the current going through here,

234
00:17:01,450 --> 00:17:03,775
which is just V_in minus,

235
00:17:03,775 --> 00:17:05,290
I'm going to take this as my reference,

236
00:17:05,290 --> 00:17:07,819
it's going to be zero volts.

237
00:17:08,579 --> 00:17:15,040
V_in minus zero over R_1.

238
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:21,040
So V_out over R_f is equal

239
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:27,880
to V_in over R_f taking this term over to the other side,

240
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,635
plus V_in over R_1.

241
00:17:32,635 --> 00:17:39,805
Grouping terms, V_out is equal to R_f

242
00:17:39,805 --> 00:17:48,100
times one over R_f plus one over R_1 times V_in.

243
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:52,105
This becomes a one plus R_f over R_1.

244
00:17:52,105 --> 00:18:00,100
So therefore, V_out is equal

245
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:06,740
to one plus R_f over R_1 times V_in.

246
00:18:10,860 --> 00:18:16,015
This device takes a voltage V_in,

247
00:18:16,015 --> 00:18:19,375
multiplies it by a number,

248
00:18:19,375 --> 00:18:22,225
and actually a positive number.

249
00:18:22,225 --> 00:18:24,250
In order to get V_out,

250
00:18:24,250 --> 00:18:33,440
this is a non-inverting voltage amplifier.

251
00:18:36,990 --> 00:18:41,830
Okay, you're still amplifying voltage by taking your input voltage,

252
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:44,635
multiplying it by a number to get the output voltage,

253
00:18:44,635 --> 00:18:48,010
but you're not changing the sign, it not-inverting.

254
00:18:48,010 --> 00:18:54,415
Now one quick thing I want to point out about both this example and the previous one.

255
00:18:54,415 --> 00:18:57,820
Both of these had a resistor which was

256
00:18:57,820 --> 00:19:01,510
feeding back from the output to one of the input terminals.

257
00:19:01,510 --> 00:19:04,720
That is very typical of op-amp based circuits.

258
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,315
It's generally called the feedback loop.

259
00:19:07,315 --> 00:19:14,425
Almost invariably you will feedback from the output to the inverting input terminal.

260
00:19:14,425 --> 00:19:19,145
That's necessary in order to keep this entire device stable.

261
00:19:19,145 --> 00:19:22,020
If I feedback to the positive terminal,

262
00:19:22,020 --> 00:19:25,485
generally this device will do what is called going unstable,

263
00:19:25,485 --> 00:19:28,470
the output will try to go to infinity.

264
00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:32,190
So what you'll have happen is that your output voltage will either

265
00:19:32,190 --> 00:19:36,130
go to the positive or the negative voltage rail, and stay there.

266
00:19:36,130 --> 00:19:37,540
It can't get to infinity,

267
00:19:37,540 --> 00:19:40,420
but it's going to go as high as it can go,

268
00:19:40,420 --> 00:19:42,800
and it's not going to come back.

269
00:19:42,990 --> 00:19:46,015
Okay, this concludes Lecture 12.

270
00:19:46,015 --> 00:19:50,185
Next lecture, we'll do some more work with operational amplifiers.

271
00:19:50,185 --> 00:19:52,810
We'll look at their operation in a little bit more depth,

272
00:19:52,810 --> 00:19:58,240
we'll talk more about the voltage rails applied by the power supplies,

273
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,515
and we'll start looking at them as dependent sources.

274
00:20:02,515 --> 00:20:06,340
Okay, later on in your schooling career you'll see a lot of dependent sources.

275
00:20:06,340 --> 00:20:11,090
We'll just start kind of looking at things in that way in this class.
