0:00:00.290,0:00:04.890
>> Now, let's go back to our original problem and suppose that we want to design

0:00:04.890,0:00:10.570
our output voltage to a be a linear combination of our input voltage and a constant.

0:00:10.580,0:00:13.800
Refer to table four dash three in your book,

0:00:13.800,0:00:17.865
and this will show you various Op-amp circuits that you already know how to design.

0:00:17.865,0:00:20.130
Inverting summers, non-inverting summers,

0:00:20.130,0:00:22.755
inverting and non-inverting amplifiers,

0:00:22.755,0:00:26.040
subtracting amplifiers and voltage followers, or buffers.

0:00:26.040,0:00:30.480
Let's figure out how to use these to design the systems that we want to build.

0:00:30.480,0:00:34.545
To do this, I've developed a set of system and circuit design cards.

0:00:34.545,0:00:37.530
One side of the card is the system side,

0:00:37.530,0:00:39.525
that tells us what operation is needed.

0:00:39.525,0:00:42.060
In this case, we would have a multiplier.

0:00:42.060,0:00:44.360
That's a non-inverting amplifier where

0:00:44.360,0:00:48.350
our input voltage is multiplied by some number greater than one,

0:00:48.350,0:00:51.410
to give us the output voltage, right here.

0:00:51.410,0:00:54.290
On the other side of the card is the circuit side.

0:00:54.290,0:00:56.390
This is the part that you would actually build.

0:00:56.390,0:00:59.660
The part that is shown on the front is the area that's within

0:00:59.660,0:01:05.670
this blue dashed line here and that shows you the design for a non-inverting amplifier.

0:01:07.670,0:01:11.465
So, here are two other system and circuit design cards.

0:01:11.465,0:01:12.570
Here's the system side,

0:01:12.570,0:01:14.075
here's the circuit side.

0:01:14.075,0:01:16.490
There's the non-inverting amplifier that you're used to,

0:01:16.490,0:01:20.660
here's an inverting amplifier where we multiply by a negative number.

0:01:20.660,0:01:25.130
While we're at it, let's also take a look at the very important input,

0:01:25.130,0:01:27.620
resistances for these circuits.

0:01:27.620,0:01:29.705
When I look into this circuit,

0:01:29.705,0:01:31.640
I'm going to run up against

0:01:31.640,0:01:35.130
the input resistance of the Op-amp which we know is very high.

0:01:35.130,0:01:40.685
So, Rin for a non-inverting amplifier is approximately equal to infinity.

0:01:40.685,0:01:43.190
But when I look into the inverting amplifier,

0:01:43.190,0:01:45.155
I know it looks infinite in this direction,

0:01:45.155,0:01:49.310
but my current is able to follow this path right here,

0:01:49.310,0:01:55.255
which means that it is not going to have an infinite input resistance.

0:01:55.255,0:01:56.715
So, in this case,

0:01:56.715,0:01:58.820
it's not equal to infinity.

0:01:58.820,0:02:03.785
That means I probably don't need a buffer if I'm doing a non-inverting amplifier,

0:02:03.785,0:02:10.050
but I do need a buffer right here if I am doing an inverting amplifier.

0:02:10.340,0:02:15.110
Here are two summers, the system design card and the circuit design card.

0:02:15.110,0:02:18.065
Again, let's take a look at the input resistance.

0:02:18.065,0:02:20.180
When I look into the inverting summer,

0:02:20.180,0:02:23.340
is that input resistance infinity? No, it isn't.

0:02:23.340,0:02:25.860
Rin is not equal to infinity,

0:02:25.860,0:02:30.035
so plan to use a buffer if you're using an inverting summer.

0:02:30.035,0:02:33.080
When I look into the non-inverting summer however,

0:02:33.080,0:02:35.270
that input resistance is close to

0:02:35.270,0:02:39.610
infinity and so I won't be needing a buffer for that device.

0:02:39.610,0:02:42.725
Here's another system and circuit design card.

0:02:42.725,0:02:44.960
This is a differencing amplifier,

0:02:44.960,0:02:48.140
where I will multiply both of my voltages by a constant,

0:02:48.140,0:02:49.640
but then I will subtract them.

0:02:49.640,0:02:52.530
Here's how I designed that system.

0:02:53.060,0:02:57.365
Switches are other important things that Op-amps are able to do.

0:02:57.365,0:03:01.460
Remember we talked about a single-pole double-throw switch in an example

0:03:01.460,0:03:07.425
previously where my Op-amp railed out between Vcc and minus Vcc.

0:03:07.425,0:03:11.150
That's the equivalent of doing a single-pole double-throw switch.

0:03:11.150,0:03:16.610
Here's a single-pole single-throw switch where it goes between Vcc and ground.

0:03:16.610,0:03:21.120
Here's the system design card and here's how you build the circuit.

0:03:21.590,0:03:25.100
Now, a buffer of course is a very important part of many of

0:03:25.100,0:03:27.890
our circuits and that's because I'm able to buffer

0:03:27.890,0:03:33.320
the input and output resistances of various devices so that I can design them separately.

0:03:33.320,0:03:34.685
That's the key idea.

0:03:34.685,0:03:37.030
Here is the symbol we often use for a buffer.

0:03:37.030,0:03:40.520
A buffer is a unity gain amplifier where we simply multiply

0:03:40.520,0:03:44.885
our input value by one in order to get our output voltage.

0:03:44.885,0:03:46.630
This is the system design card,

0:03:46.630,0:03:49.745
here's the circuit design card that shows us how to build it.

0:03:49.745,0:03:52.730
We simply connect the negative terminal,

0:03:52.730,0:03:57.740
the negative input to the output terminal and that gives us a gain of one.

0:03:57.740,0:04:00.260
When I look into the input of a buffer,

0:04:00.260,0:04:04.925
I can see that I'm going up against the input resistance of the Op-amp,

0:04:04.925,0:04:07.895
so, Rin for a buffer is always

0:04:07.895,0:04:12.240
approximately equal to infinity and that's why we like them so well.

0:04:12.560,0:04:15.740
So, let's talk about an example where we might want

0:04:15.740,0:04:18.454
to do a linear combination of voltages.

0:04:18.454,0:04:21.050
Perhaps these four voltages came from a series

0:04:21.050,0:04:23.480
of sensors and some of them we really trust,

0:04:23.480,0:04:25.970
we want to multiply them by a large number,

0:04:25.970,0:04:27.530
and some we don't trust quite as much,

0:04:27.530,0:04:29.870
we want to multiply them by a small number.

0:04:29.870,0:04:35.240
So, here's the equation that we might like to have in order to get our output voltage.

0:04:35.240,0:04:37.445
There are many ways we could build this circuit.

0:04:37.445,0:04:38.960
We could add things up first,

0:04:38.960,0:04:40.070
we could subtract them first,

0:04:40.070,0:04:41.510
we could multiply them.

0:04:41.510,0:04:45.050
Many different combinations could give us the same output voltage.

0:04:45.050,0:04:48.155
Then here's an example of the way that I chose to do it.

0:04:48.155,0:04:50.810
Here is an input resistance, sorry.

0:04:50.810,0:04:58.040
Here is an input voltage V1 another input voltage V2, V3, and V4.

0:04:58.040,0:05:02.900
I'm going to use a non-inverting amplifier to multiply the first voltage by three,

0:05:02.900,0:05:04.905
the second voltage by four,

0:05:04.905,0:05:06.885
the third voltage by five,

0:05:06.885,0:05:09.115
and the fourth voltage by eight.

0:05:09.115,0:05:13.000
I can design a non-inverting amplifier that will do this and I know

0:05:13.000,0:05:17.350
that I will be able to do that when I get to the circuit design side of the card.

0:05:17.350,0:05:21.950
Well, now that I have multiplied each of my voltages by their appropriate value,

0:05:21.950,0:05:25.165
I'm going to take the ones that are positive, right here,

0:05:25.165,0:05:28.955
and I'm going to put them into a non-inverting summer and add them up.

0:05:28.955,0:05:32.060
So, basically, I'm doing this operation and

0:05:32.060,0:05:35.555
here's the output of this non-inverting summer.

0:05:35.555,0:05:37.010
On the other side,

0:05:37.010,0:05:39.110
I'm going to take the minus five and the minus

0:05:39.110,0:05:41.690
eight and put them into an inverting summer.

0:05:41.690,0:05:47.590
So, I'm basically doing this part of the math and it's going to show up here.

0:05:47.590,0:05:50.660
Finally, I'm simply going to add them up and that gives me

0:05:50.660,0:05:53.760
V out on the other side using a non-inverting summer.

0:05:53.760,0:05:57.875
So, this is how I use the system design side of my card,

0:05:57.875,0:06:00.485
in order to design the operations,

0:06:00.485,0:06:03.455
the math, that I want my circuit to do.

0:06:03.455,0:06:08.690
Then I flip the cards over to the circuit side and it shows me how to build them.

0:06:08.690,0:06:11.030
The non-inverting amplifier of course,

0:06:11.030,0:06:13.820
has simply use two resistors and I design them so

0:06:13.820,0:06:16.760
that the gain is three, four, five, eight.

0:06:16.760,0:06:19.010
Whatever are my gains need to be.

0:06:19.010,0:06:23.795
Sorry. Then, I put them into a non-inverting summer,

0:06:23.795,0:06:28.325
an inverting summer, and finally a non-inverting summer as shown here.

0:06:28.325,0:06:31.310
Now that we know what circuits we're going to do,

0:06:31.310,0:06:33.950
let's take a look at the input resistances in

0:06:33.950,0:06:37.615
order to decide if we need to put buffers in the circuit.

0:06:37.615,0:06:41.600
So, remember that I can design each of these elements independently

0:06:41.600,0:06:45.140
as long as the input resistance is near infinity.

0:06:45.140,0:06:48.845
Here's my non-inverting summer and sure when I look in here,

0:06:48.845,0:06:51.830
Rin is approximately equal to infinity.

0:06:51.830,0:06:55.865
So, I do not need buffers on the lines going into this circuit.

0:06:55.865,0:06:59.000
When I look at the inverting summer however,

0:06:59.000,0:07:01.250
my input resistance is not close to

0:07:01.250,0:07:05.095
infinity and so I'm going to need a couple of buffers here.

0:07:05.095,0:07:07.805
So, right there I'm going to put a buffer on

0:07:07.805,0:07:11.660
either end of the inputs going into my inverting summer.

0:07:11.660,0:07:13.490
So, what does that mean?

0:07:13.490,0:07:18.530
It means that I can design this card completely separately from this one.

0:07:18.530,0:07:21.590
I can design that separately from the non-inverting summer,

0:07:21.590,0:07:24.080
separately from the inverting summer and so on,

0:07:24.080,0:07:26.240
until I have designed my complete circuit

0:07:26.240,0:07:29.910
and then I can hook it up in the fashion shown here.

0:07:30.920,0:07:36.790
Sometimes we draw those buffers as black triangles and included that new here as well.

0:07:37.090,0:07:39.980
Now, I'd like you to take a chance to read

0:07:39.980,0:07:41.990
through example four dash five in your book which is

0:07:41.990,0:07:46.205
a practical application of this to the design of an elevation sensor.

0:07:46.205,0:07:49.370
I'll let you take the time to work through that example and see if you

0:07:49.370,0:07:53.105
understand how the various elements of the system can be put together.

0:07:53.105,0:07:56.975
Here's the linear response that your sensor has,

0:07:56.975,0:08:00.795
and here's the output that you would like to receive.

0:08:00.795,0:08:03.450
See if you can design that circuit.

0:08:03.450,0:08:06.650
So, thank you very much for joining me today.

0:08:06.650,0:08:09.890
I'm sure you're dying with curiosity about what the front picture was.

0:08:09.890,0:08:11.110
This is White Canyon,

0:08:11.110,0:08:14.030
a nice ride in American Fork.
