Math Problem Statement

Analyze the two-stage operational amplifier circuit and calculate the output voltage.

Solution

Let's analyze the given circuit.

This is a two-stage operational amplifier (op-amp) circuit where:

  1. Both op-amps are ideal.
  2. R1=1kΩR_1 = 1 \, \text{k}\Omega, RF=10kΩR_F = 10 \, \text{k}\Omega.
  3. Input voltages are v1=0.1Vv_1 = 0.1 \, \text{V}, v2=0.3Vv_2 = 0.3 \, \text{V}.

We will calculate the output voltage vov_o.


Step 1: Analyzing the first stage (differential amplifier)

The first op-amp implements a differential amplifier with the output voltage: vout1=(RFR1)(v2v1)v_{out1} = \left( \frac{R_F}{R_1} \right) (v_2 - v_1)

Substitute the given values: vout1=(10kΩ1kΩ)(0.30.1)v_{out1} = \left( \frac{10 \, \text{k}\Omega}{1 \, \text{k}\Omega} \right) (0.3 - 0.1) vout1=10(0.2)=2Vv_{out1} = 10 (0.2) = 2 \, \text{V}


Step 2: Analyzing the second stage (inverting amplifier)

The second op-amp is configured as an inverting amplifier, where the output voltage is given by: vo=(RFR1)vout1v_o = - \left( \frac{R_F}{R_1} \right) v_{out1}

Substitute the values: vo=(10kΩ1kΩ)(2)v_o = - \left( \frac{10 \, \text{k}\Omega}{1 \, \text{k}\Omega} \right) (2) vo=10(2)=20Vv_o = -10 (2) = -20 \, \text{V}


Final Result

The output voltage of the circuit is: vo=20Vv_o = -20 \, \text{V}
