With different resistors the inputs can have different weightings at the
R
output.
This idea can be extended to make a simple digital-to-analogue (D/A) converter.
Once again, the negative sign preceding the formula indicates that the output signal is opposite in polarity to input signals.

There can be more than three inputs to an inverting adder.
Noninverting Adder
By feeding the output of an inverting adder into an inverter with a gain of –1 the overall result is noninverting addition. The circuit of fig. 9.22 achieves the same result with a single op-amp.

9.2.4. The Differential Amplifier
Figure 9.23 shows how the op-amp can be connected to operate as a
differential amplifier circuit. In this circuit application, the op-amp simply
uses its first internal amplifier stage, which (as mentioned earlier) is a diff­amp. In this circuit, all four resistors are normally of the same value, and the output voltage is equal to the difference between the two input voltages.

9.2.6. The Differentiator
The op-amp differentiator circuit (not to be confused with the previous differential amplifier) is similar to the basic inverting amplifier except that R is replaced by a capacitor, as shown in fig. 9.27(a).
The use of a capacitor in any circuit will develop problems as the frequency of the input signal increases because the capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the frequency. This means that the reactance of the input capacitor decreases for input signals that are higher in frequency. Therefore the input voltage applied to the op-amp and output voltage from the op-amp increases with the frequency. Including an additional resistor (Rin) in series with the input capacitor and additional capacitor (Cf) in parallel with the feedback resistor, as shown in fig. 9.27(b), will decrease the high­frequency gain because gain will be a ratio of R/Rin.

9.2.7. Active Filters
F
Z

Passive filters are circuits that contain passive or non-amplifying components (resistors, capacitors, and inductors) connected in such a way that they pass certain frequencies while rejecting others. An active filter, on the other hand, is a circuit that uses an amplifier with passive filter elements to provide frequency paths with rejection characteristics. Active filters, like the op­amp circuits shown in fig. 9.29, have several advantages over passive filters.
1. As the op-amp provides gain, the input signal passed to the output
does not attenuate, and therefore better response curves can be obtained.
2. The high input impedance and low output impedance of the op-amp
implies that the filter circuit does not interfere with the signal source or load.
3. Since active filters provide gain, resistors can be used instead of
inductors, and therefore active filters are less expensive.
Figure 9.29 illustrates how the op-amp can be connected to form four basic active filter types.
Active High-Pass Filter
Figure 9.29(a) illustrates the simple op-amp circuit, the frequency response, and relevant formulas for an this inverting amplifier is dependent on the ratio of the feedback resistor R to the input resistor R
. When capacitors are included in any circuit, the

The input RC network offers a high impedance to low frequencies, resulting in a low voltage gain. At high frequencies, the RC network has a low impedance, causing a high voltage gain. The cutoff frequency for this circuit can be calculated with the following formula when С

Active Low-Pass Filter
Figure 9.29(b) illustrates the op-amp circuit, frequency response curve, and relevant formulas for an
active low-pass fitter. At low frequencies, the
capacitor reactance is high, and low-frequency signals will pass to the op­amp input to be amplified and passed to the output. As the frequency increases, the capacitive reactance of C
decreases; the greater part of the
1
signal will be shunted away from the op-amp and will not appear at the
116
output. The cutoff frequency for this circuit can be calculated with the following formula when R

Active Bandpass Filter
Figure 9.29(c) illustrates how the op-amp can be connected in order to form an active bandpass filter. At frequencies outside the band, V
is fed
out
back to the input and it is not attenuated. Therefore the input signal amplitude is almost equal to the feedback signal amplitude. This results in almost complete cancellation of the signal and therefore a very small output voltage. On the other hand, for the frequencies within the band, a very small feedback signal will appear at the negative input of the op-amp and will have a very small degenerative effect. As a result, the change at the input of the op-amp will be larger when the input signal frequencies are within this band, and the output voltage will be also larger.
117
Active Band-Stop Filter
Figure 9.29(d) illustrates how the op-amp can be connected to form an
active band-stop filter, also known as a band-reject or notch filter. The basic
operation of this circuit is opposite to that of the previously discussed bandpass filter. At frequencies outside the band, the feedback signal will be heavily attenuated, and therefore the degenerative effect will be small and the output voltage large. On the other hand, at frequencies within the band, the feedback signal will not be greatly attenuated, and therefore the degenerative effect will be large and the output voltage small.
9.3. Signal Generators
A signal generator is a circuit (or device) which produces simple repetitive waveforms. Such devices contain an electronic oscillator, a circuit that is capable of creating a repetitive waveform. Modern devices such as digital-to-analogue converter may use digital signal processing to synthesize waveforms. The most common waveform is a sine wave, but sawtooth, step (pulse), square, and triangular waveform oscillators are commonly available as arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs). If the oscillator operates above the audio frequency range (>20 kHz), the generator will often include some sort of modulation function such as amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), or phase modulation (PM).
Signal (or Function) generators are typically used in simple electronics repair and design; where they are used to test a circuit. A device such as an oscilloscope is then used to measure the circuit’s output. Function generators vary in the number of outputs, frequency range, frequency accuracy and stability, and several other parameters.

Op-Amp Wien Bridge Oscillator
1
One way of obtaining the gain required for a Wien-bridge oscillator is to use the op-amp circuit as shown in fig. 9.31.
In this case we have the simplified Wien network with equal values of resistance (R) and capacitance (C) so to compensate for the loss of the phase shift network the amplifier must have a noninverting gain of 3. Now the amplifier input will be the Wien network output (V
) which is connected to

the noninverting input of the op-amp. To provide a gain of 3

If the gain is less than 3, the circuit does not oscillate. If it is greater than 3 then the amplitude of the oscillations builds up until nonlinearity reduces the gain, but this causes flattening of waveform peaks (fig. 9.32). In other words, the waveform is sinusoidal, i. e. harmonic distortion is added.

The circuit shown in fig. 9.31 oscillated at f0, however the distortion is noticeable. The solution is to introduce a nonlinear component into the negative feedback network that determines the gain. A suitable nonlinear component for this purpose is a thermistor or a lamp.
9.3.2. Rectangular Waveform Generators
For the rectangular waveform generator, op-amps will have significant differential input voltages so that their outputs will be at one of the supply rail voltages.
Transistors of op-amp output stage are operated at cutoff or in saturation.
Timings are determined by charge and discharge of capacitors in RC circuits.
In some cases discrete components have advantages over ICs.
Rectangular Waveform Definitions
A rectangular waveform is one which switches between two voltage levels V
and V2 (fig. 9.33).

The voltage levels may be of the same or opposite polarity; in many cases one of them is 0 V. For many purposes it is necessary for the transition time from V
to V2 and the return from V2 to V1 to be as short as possible.
