1.1 INTRODUCTION

Definition of INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

 An Integrated Circuit (IC) is a miniature, low cost electronic circuit consisting of active and
Passive components that are irreparably joined together on a single crystal chip of silicon.

 The active components are transistors and diodes and passive components are resistors and
capacitors.

ADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATED CIRCUITS (over circuits made by interconnecting

discrete components)

1. Miniaturization and hence increased equipment density.

2. Cost reduction due to batch processing.
3. Increased system reliability due to the elimination of soldered joints.
4. Improved functional performance.
5. Matched devices.
6. Increased operating speeds.
7. Reduction in power consumption.

CLASSIFICATION OF IC’S:
 Integrated circuits offer a wide range of applications and could be broadly classified as:
1. Digital IC’s
2. ANALOG IC’s
 Based upon the above requirements, two distinctly different IC technologies are developed.
1. Monolithic technology
2. Hybrid technology

 In Monolithic Integrated Circuits, all circuit components, both active and passive
elements and their interconnections are manufactured into (or) on top of a single chip of
silicon.
 In Hybrid Integrated Circuits, separate components parts are attached to a ceramic
substrate and interconnected by means of either metallization pattern (or) wire bonds.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
1.2 OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER: (OP-Amp)
APPLICATIONS

 ANALOG IC’s are used in a number of electronic applications such as audio and radio
communication, medical electronics, instrumentation control, etc.
 The most important and most widely used ANALOG IC is an op-amp.
 The operational amplifier is a versatile device that can be used to amplify dc
as well as ac input signals.
 The op-amp was originally designed for performing mathematical functions
such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and integration. Thus the name
operational amplifier stems from its original use for these mathematical
operations and is abbreviated to op-amp.
 With the addition of suitable external feedback components, the modern day
op-amp can be used for a variety of applications, such as ac and dc signal
amplification, active filters, oscillators, comparators, regulators, and others.
 The most widely used op-amp is IC741.

OP-AMP CIRCUIT SYMBOL:

 The op-amp circuit symbol is a triangle that points in the direction of signal
flow.
 It has ’2’ input terminals and ‘1’ output terminal and ‘2’ power supply
terminals.
 The terminal with a (-) sign is called inverting input terminal and the
terminal with (+) sign is called the non-inverting input terminal.

Fig: Op-Amp Circuit Symbol

IC PACKAGE TYPES
The op-amp ICs are available in various packages. The IC packages are classified as,
1. Metal Can (TO) package.
2. Dual In Line package(DIP)
3. Flat Package

POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
APPLICATIONS
 The op-amp uses ‘2’ power supply terminals V+ & V-
 The power supply voltage range is ±5V to ±22V.
 The common point of the two sources must be grounded, otherwise twice the supply
voltage will get applied and it may damage the op-amp.

1.3 IDEAL OP-AMP

Fig (a) Ideal op-amp

An ideal op-amp would exhibit the following electrical characteristics:

Characteristics of Ideal op-amp:
1. Open loop voltage gain AoL = ∞, for ideal op-amp the Vd=0 and V1=V2.
2. Input impedance Ri = ∞, so the current drawn from the input terminals
is ‘0’ i.e i1=i2=0. Because of Infinite input resistance so that almost any
signal source can drive it and there is no loading on the preceding
driver stage.
3. Output impedance Ro = 0, so that output can drive an infinite number of other
devices.
4. Bandwidth = ∞, so that any frequency signal from 0 to ∞Hz can be
amplified without any distortion.
5. Zero offset voltage i.e Vo=0 when V1=V2=0
6. Common mode rejection ratio (CMRR)= ∞, so that the output common-mode
noise voltage is zero.
7. Slew rate = ∞, so that output voltage changes occur simultaneously with
input voltage changes.
8. No effect of temperature.

Ideal Voltage TransferAPPLICATIONS
Curve: (or) Transfer characteristics of an ideal op-amp :

Fig. Ideal voltage transfer curve

 The graphic representation of the output equation is shown in fig. in which

the output voltage Vo is plotted against differential input voltage Vd, keeping
gain Ad constant.

 The output voltage cannot exceed the positive and negative saturation
voltages. These saturation voltages are specified for given values of supply
voltages. This means that the output voltage is directly proportional to the
input difference voltage only until it reaches the saturation voltages and
thereafter the output voltage remains constant.

 Thus curve is called an ideal voltage transfer curve, ideal because output
offset voltage is assumed to be zero. If the curve is drawn to scale, the
curve would be almost vertical because of very large values of Ad.

1.4 EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT OF AN OPAMP (PRACTICAL OP-AMP):

 In practical op-amp, AoL ≠ ∞, Ri ≠ ∞and Ro ≠ 0.

 Basically the op-amp is a voltage controlled voltage source.

 Hence the output side is represented by a thevenin’s equivalent model.

AoL Vd is an equivalent Thevenin’s voltage source and
RO is the Thevenin’s equivalent resistance.

Fig. (b) Equivalent circuit of OP-AMP

 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
 APPLICATIONS
From figure, the output voltage is
VO = AoL(V1-V2) = AoLVd

 The output equation shows that op-amp does not amplifies V1 & V2 themselves but it
amplifies difference of the two inputs V1 & V2.
1.5 OP-AMP INTERNAL CIRCUIT

 The internal block diagram of an opamp is shown in the fig.

 The input stage is the dual input balanced output differential amplifier.
This stage generally provides most of the voltage gain of the amplifier and
also establishes the input resistance of the op-amp.
 The intermediate stage is usually another differential amplifier, which is
driven by the output of the first stage. On most amplifiers, the intermediate
stage is dual input, unbalanced output.
 Because of direct coupling, the dc voltage at the output of the intermediate
stage is well above ground potential. Therefore, the level translator
(shifting) circuit is used after the intermediate stage downwards to zero
volts with respect to ground.
 The output stage is usually a push pull complementary symmetry
amplifier output stage. The output stage increases the voltage swing and
raises the ground supplying capabilities of the op-amp. A well designed
output stage also provides low output resistance.

 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
1.6 MODES OF OPERATION OF OP-AMP
There are 2 modes in which an op-amp operates:
1. Open loop mode
2. Closed loop mode

1.6.1 OPEN LOOP OPAMP MODE

In the case of amplifiers the term open loop indicates that no connection exists between input
and output terminals of any type. That is, the output signal is not fedback in any form as part of the
input signal. In open loop configuration, The OPAMP functions as a high gain amplifier. There are
three open loop OPAMP configurations.
1. The Differential Amplifier:
Fig. below shows the open loop differential amplifier in which input signals vin1 and vin2 are applied
to the positive and negative input terminals.

 Since the OPAMP amplifies the difference the between the two input signals, this configuration is
called the differential amplifier. The OPAMP amplifies both ac and dc input signals. The source
resistance Rin1 and Rin2 are normally negligible compared to the input resistance Ri. Therefore
voltage drop across these resistances can be assumed to be zero.
Therefore v1 = vin1 and v2 = vin2.
vo = Ad (vin1- vin2 ) where, Ad is the open loop gain.
2. The Inverting Amplifier:
If the input is applied to only inverting terminal and non-inverting terminal is grounded then
it is called inverting amplifier. This configuration is shown in figure below

v1= 0, v2 = vin.
vo = -Ad vin
The negative sign indicates that the output voltage is out of phase with respect to input 180 °
or is of opposite polarity. Thus the input signal is amplified and inverted also.
3 .The non-inverting amplifier:
In this configuration, the input voltage is applied to non-inverting terminals and inverting
terminal is ground as shown in fig below
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

V1=+Vin V2=0
V0=+Ad Vin
This means that the input voltage is amplified by Ad and there is no phase reversal at the
output.
Note: Reason why open loop op-amp is not used in ANALOG applications:

 In all there configurations any input signal slightly greater than zero drive the output to saturation
level. This is because of very high gain. Thus when operated in open-loop, the output of the
OPAMP is either negative or positive saturation or switches between positive and negative
saturation levels. Therefore open loop op-amp is not used in ANALOG applications.

1.6.2 CLOSED LOOP OP-AMP MODE

 As the open loop DC gain of an operational amplifier is extremely high we can therefore afford to
lose some of this high gain by connecting a suitable resistor across the amplifier from the output
terminal back to the inverting input terminal to both reduce and control the overall gain of the
amplifier.
 This then produces and effect known commonly as Negative Feedback, and thus produces a very
stable Operational Amplifier based system.
 As we are not using the positive non-inverting input this is connected to a common ground or
zero voltage terminal , but the effect of this closed loop feedback circuit results in the voltage
potential at the inverting input being equal to that at the non-inverting input producing a Virtual
ground summing point because it will be at the same potential as the grounded reference input.
In other words, the op-amp becomes a "differential amplifier".
There are three closed loop OPAMP configurations.

1.6.3 INVERTING AMPLIFER

Fig. Inverting amplifier

 The output voltage V0 is fedback to the inverting input terminal through the resistors Rf-R1
network, where Rf is feedback resistor.
Analysis:
 Assume ideal op-amp. As Vd=0, node ‘a’ is at ground potential and the current i1 through R1 is
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

 Also op-amp draws no current, all the current flowing through R1 must flow through Rf. The
output voltage,

 Hence the gain of the inverting amplifier (also referred as closed loop gain) is,

Voltage gain < Unity

 Alternatively,
The nodal equation at node ‘a’ is

Where Va is the voltage at node ‘a’

 Since node ‘a’ is at virtual ground Va=0, we get

 The negative sign indicates a phase shift of 1800 between vi and v0.
 If the resistances R1 and Rf are replaced by impedances Z1 and Zf respwctively then the voltage
gain is
��
AcL = −
�

1.6.4 PRACTICAL INVERTING AMPLIFIER

 For practical op-amp the expression for the closed loop voltage gain should be calculated using
the low frequency model of practical op-amp.
 The equivalent circuit of a practical inverting amplifier is as shown in fig(a)

fig(a) Equivalent circuit of a practical op-amp inverting amplifier

 This circuit can be simplified by replacing the signal source Vi and resistors R1 and Ri by
Thevenin’s equivalent as shown in fig (b).

Input Resistance Rif (with feedback)

From fig(b),
Writing loop equation and solving for Rif,

We obtain,
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
Output Resistance Rof (with feedback)

 Output impedance Rof (without any load resistance RL)is calculated from the open circuit output
voltage Voc and short circuit output current isc.
 Now consider the circuit as shown in fig(c).

……..(11)
Equation (11) can be alternatively written as,
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC

…..(12)
It seems that numerator consists of Ro║(R1+Rf) and is therefore smaller than Ro.
 The output resistance Rof(with feedback) is therefore always less than Ro and for

1.6.5 NON-INVERTING AMPLIFIER

Fig. Non-inverting amplifier

 As the differential voltage vd at the input terminal of op-amp is zero, the voltage at node ‘a’ in fig
is vi, same as the input voltage applied to non-inverting input terminal.
 Now Rf and R1 forms a potential divider. Hence

As no current flows into the op-amp

 Thus, for non-inverting amplifier the voltage gain,

voltage gain > unity

1.6.6 PRACTICAL NON-INVERTING AMPLIFIER

 The analysis of the practical non-inverting amplifier can be performed by using the equivalent
circuit as shown in fig.
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC

1.6.7 VOLTAGE FOLLOWER

 In the non-inverting amplifier, if Rf = 0 and R1 = ∞, we get the modified circuit as shown in fig.
of voltage follower.

 From output of the non-inverting amplifier,
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
v0 = (1+푅ͼ) vi = (1+APPLICATIONS
0
) vi
�1 ∞

therefore, v0 = vi i.e voltage gain AcL= unity

 The unity gain circuit has high input impedance (MΩ order) and output impedance is zero.
 The output voltage is equal to the input voltage, both in magnitude and phase.
 The output voltage follows the input voltage exactly. Hence, the circuit is called a voltage
follower.
 Voltage follower can be used as a buffer for impedance matching.
1.6.8 DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER

 From ideal characteristics of op-amp, the differential voltage at the input terminals of the op-amp
is zero, nodes ‘a’ and ‘b’ are at the same potential, designated as ‘v3’
 The nodal equation at node ‘a’ is,

…..(1)
The nodal equation at node ‘b’ is

……(2)
Subtract (2) from (1), we get
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

Therefore,
 Such a circuit is very useful in detecting very small differences in signals, since the gain R2/R1
can be chosen to be very large.
 Example, if R=100R1, then a small difference v1-v2 is amplified 100 times.

Difference mode and common mode gains:

 In ideal op-amp, if v1=v2 then vo=0, so that the difference mode signal ‘vd’ is defined as,
vd = v1-v2 (1)
 In practical op-amp, even if v1=v2 then vo ≠0, this is because the output voltage depends not only
upon the difference signal ‘vd’ at the input, but is also affected by the average voltage of the input
signals, called as the common-mode signal VcM defined as,

….(2)
 For the differential amplifier, because of the mismatch, the gain at the output with respect to the
positive terminal is slightly different in magnitude to that of the negative terminal.
 So, even with the same voltage applied to both inputs, the output is not zero. The output therefore
must be expressed as,
vo = A1v1+A2v2…..(3)
solving eqs(1) & (2),

Substitute v1 & v2 in eq(3), we get

Where &

 ADM is voltage gain for the difference signal.

 ACM is voltage gain for the common-mode signal.

1.6.9 COMMON MODE REJECTION RATION: (CMRR)

 The CMRR is defined as the ratio of differential voltage gain ADM to common-mode voltage gain
ADM.
 CMRR is used to define the ability of a differential amplifier to reject the common mode input
signal, and gives the figure of merit ‘ρ’ for the differential amplifier.
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
 APPLICATIONS
CMRR is generally expressed in terms of decibels(dB)
 For µA741 op-amp has a minimum CMRR of 70 dB.
 For µA725A op-amp has a minimum CMRR of 120 dB.
 For an ideal op-amp, ACM = 0 and hence CMRR=∞
 For practical op-amp, since ADM >> ADM, CMRR is high i.e finite.
퐯�
vo= ADM vd [1 + ] where CMRR is denoted by ‘ρ’
�
 As CMRR (or) ρ → ∞ , the output voltage becomes,
vo= ADM vd
Here, the common mode voltage is nullified to a great extent.
 So, higher the value of CMRR, better is the performance of op-amp.

1.7 OP AMP CHARACTERISTICS

 An ideal op-amp respond equally to both AC & DC input voltages.
 But a practical op-amp does not behave this way.
 A practical op-amp has some dc voltage at the output even with both the inputs grounded i.e when
v1=v2=0v
i.e v0 ≠ 0
 Under AC conditions, practical op-amp is frequency dependent & temperature independent and
ideal op-amp is frequency independent & temperature dependent.

1.8 DC CHARACTERISTICS OF AN OP-AMP

 Ideal op-amp does not draw the current from the input terminals.
 In practical op-amp, current is taken from source into the op-amp inputs. Also the two inputs
respond
differently to current and voltage due to mismatch in transistors.

 The non-ideal dc characteristics that add error components to the dc output voltage are:
 Input bias current
 Input offset current
 Input offset voltage
 Thermal drift

1.8.1 Input bias current (IB)

 The op-amp’s input is a differential amplifier, which may be made of BJT or FET. The input
transistors
must be biased into their active region by supplying base currents.
 In ideal op-amp, no current is drawn from input terminals.
 In practical op-amp, input terminals draws small value of dc current to bias the transistors.
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

Fig. (a) Input bias currents (b) Inverting amplifier with bias currents
 The base currents entering into the inverting terminal is IB- & non-inverting terminal is IB+
 Even though both the transistors are identical, IB- & IB+ are not exactly equal due to internal
imbalances
between the two inputs.
 The input bias current IB is defined as the average value of the base currents entering into the
terminals
of an op-amp.

 For 741, a bipolar op-amp, the bias current is 500nA or less

FET op-amp the bias current is 50pA
 Consider the basic inverting amplifier of fig.(b)
 If Vi=0v the output voltage V0 should be 0V.
 Instead we get that output voltage is offset by,
V0 = (IB-)Rf
 For 741 op-amp with 1MΩ feedback resistor V0= 500nA*1MΩ = 500mV
 Hence due to bias currents the output is 500mV with zero input
V0 = 500mv with Vin = 0v
 Inorder to avoid this a compensation resistor Rcomp has been added between the non-inverting
input terminal and ground. It is as shown in fig (c).

Fig (C) Bias current compensation in an Fig (d) Bias current compensation in an
inverting amplifier non-inverting amplifier
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 Current IB+ flowing through the comnpensating resistor Rcomp develops a voltage V1 across it.
Then by KVL, we get,
-V1+0+V2-V0 = 0
V0 = V2-V1 ……(1)
 By selecting the proper value of Rcomp, V2 can be cancelled with V1 and the output V0 will be
zero.
The value of Rcomp is derived as
�
V1 = IB+ Rcomp or IB+ = …..(2)
�
 The node ‘a’ is at voltage (-V1) because the non-inverting input terminal is –V1. So with Vi=0,
we get,

I1 = �1 and also I2 = �2
푅1 푅ͼ
 For compensation V0 should be zero for vi=0 i.e from equation (1)

So that, I2 = �1

KCL at node ‘a’ gives
푽� 푽� 푽�(�+�)
IB- = I1+I2 = + = ………(3)

Assuming IB- = IB+ and using equations (2) & (3) we get,
�1(푅1+푅ͼ) V1
=
푅1푅ͼ 푅����
�
Rcomp = = R1║Rf
�+�
 To compensate for bias currents the compensating resistor Rcomp should be equal to the parallel
combination
of resistors connected to the inverting input terminal.
 The effect of input bias current in a non-inverting amplifier can also be compensated by placing a
compensating reisistor, Rcomp in series with the input signal Vi as shown in fig(d).
 The value of the Rcomp is again equal to

Rcomp= R1║Rf
 As the circuits for inverting amplifier and non-inverting amplifier shown in fig (c) & (d) becomes
same
with input signal Vi made equal to zero.

1.8.2 Input offset current (IOS)

 Input bias current compensation will work only when both IB- & IB+ are equal. But due to slight
mismatch
in transistors there will be some small difference between the IB- & IB+. it is called as offset
current Ios.

 For BJT op-amp offset current Ios=200mA

 For FET op-amp offset current Ios=10pA
 Even with bias current compensation offset current will produce an output voltage when the input
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
voltage Vi= 0 APPLICATIONS
From fig(c) bias current compensation in an inverting amplifier
V1 = IB+ Rcomp & I1 = �1 = IB+ Rcomp
푅1 푅1

KCL at node ‘a’ gives,

푅1푅ͼ
Substituting Rcomp = = R1║Rf in above equation weget,
푅1+푅ͼ

 So, even with bias current compensation and with the feedback resistor of 1MΩ, a 741 BJT op-
amp has
an output offset voltage V0=200mV.
V0= 1MΩ * 200nA = 200mV with a zero input voltage (Vin=0V)
 If we assume Rf as a small then the effect of offset current can be minimized.
 But to obtain high input impedance R1 must be kept large.
 With R1 large, the feedback resistor Rf must also be high so as to obtain reasonable gain.
 The “T- feedback network” is a good solution.

fig. inverting amplifier with T- feedback network

 This will allow large feedback resistance while keeping the resistance to ground (seen by
inverting input)
low as shown in the dotted network.
 The T-network provides a feddback signal as if the network were a single feedback resistor.

 By T to π conversion,
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

 To design a T-network, first pick Rt<<Rf/2

Then calculate

1.8.3 Input offset voltage (Vios)

 Even though the above compensation techniques are used still there is some output voltage with
zero input voltage.
 This is due to unavoidable imbalances inside the op-amp.
 Applying a small voltage at the input terminals, to make output voltage zero. Thios voltage is
called
as input offset voltage Vios.
 This is the voltage required to be applied at the input for making output voltage to zero volts as
shown in fig(a).

Effect of Vios on the output of non-inverting & inverting op-amp amplifiers:

 If Vi is set to 0V, the circuit of fig(b) & (c) become the same as shown in fig(d).
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

 The voltage ‘V2’ at the (-) input terminal is given by

 The output offset voltage of an op-amp in closed loop configuration(inv or non-inv)

1.8.4 Total output offset voltage (VOT)

 The total output offset voltage VOT could be either more or less than the offset voltage produced
at the
output due to input bias current or input offset voltage done.
 Therefore the maximum offset voltage at the output of an inverting and non-inverting amplifier
without any compensating technique used is given by

 With Rcomp in the circuit the total output offset voltage will be given by

 Many op-amps provide offset compensation pins to nullify the offset voltage.
 For IC 741 op-amp, ‘1’ & ‘5’ pins are offset null pins. A 10kΩ potentiometer is placed across
pins 1& 5
and the wiper be connected to the negative supply pin 4.
 The position of the wiper is adjusted to nullify the output offset voltage and is shown in fig(a).
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

Fig.
 When the given op-amp does not have these offset null pins external balancing techniques are
used.
The figure (b) & (c) shows the balancing circuits for inverting and non-inverting op-amps.

1.8.5 Thermal Drift

 Bias current, offset current and offset voltage change with temperature.
 A circuit carefully nulled at 250c may not remain so when the temperature rises to 350c. This is
called drift.
 Offset current drift is expressed in nA/0c
 Offset voltage drift is expressed in mV/0c

Techniques to minimize the effect of thermal drift:

1. By using careful printed circuit board layout to keep op-amps away from source of heat.
2. Forced air cooling may be used to stabilize the ambient temperature.

1.9 AC CHARACTERISTICS OF AN OP-AMP

 Under ac conditions the parameters of op-amp are frequently dependent.
 The AC characteristics which will effect the output of an op-amp are:
 Frequency response
 Stability of op-amp
 Slew rate
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
1.9.1 FREQUENCY RESPONSE
APPLICATIONS
 From the frequency response we can find the bandwidth of the op-amp.
 In the frequency response we observe two plots
i) Magnitude plot(gain v/s frequency)
ii) Phase plot (phase v/s frequency)
 Ideally the op-amp must have infinite bandwidth i.e gain is constant for all frequencies i.e from o
to ∞ Hz.
 Practically the gain of op-amp decreases (rolls-off) at higher frequencies.
 This decrease in gain at high frequencies is because of the presence of capacitive component.
 This capacitance is due to the physical characteristics of the device used and the internal
construction of op-amp.
 The capacitance effect is negligible at low frequencies and but at high frequencies it is more.
 The equivalent circuit of practical op-amp at high frequencies include a capacitor at the output.

Fig.(a) High frequency model of an op-amp with single corner frequency.

 The high frequency model is modified version of the low frequency model with a capacitor C at
the output.
 There is one pole due to R0C and one -20 dB/decade roll-off.
 The open loop voltage gain of an op-amp with only one corner frequency is obtained from fig (a)
as

 The magnitude of open loop voltage gain is

 The phase angle of open loop voltage gain is

Magnitude plot:
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

 The f1 is the corner frequency or break frequency or cut-off frequency.

 From magnitude plot we can observe,
i) f < f1 ,gain is constant
ii) f = f1 ,gain is -3dB
iii) f >f1 ,gain roll off by -20dB/decade
iv) f is very high , gain is 0dB
 And at particular frequency it becomes zero. i.e gain in dB = 0dB. This is called as unity gain
cross over frequency (or ) unity gain bandwidth(UGB) or small signal bandwidth.
 The UGB for µA741 op-amp is 1MHz.

Phase plot:

For f =0 , ϕ = 00
f =f1 , ϕ= -450
f = ∞ , ϕ= -900

 The magnitude in terms of s-domain can be written as

 A practical op-amp has no.of stages and each stage produces a capacitive component. Thus due to
a no. of pole pairs ther will be a no. of different break frequencies.
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
 The transfer functionAPPLICATIONS
of an op-amp with 3 break frequencies can be assumed to as,

1.9.2 STABILITY OF AN OP-AMP

 Op-amps are rarely used in open loop configuration because of its high gain.
 Consider an op-amp amplifier as shown in fig (a) . it uses negative feedback and may be used
as inverting amplifier for V2=0 and ad non-inverting amplifier for V1=0
 From the negative feedback concepts, closed loop gain AcL is
���
AcL =
1+����

AoL is open loop gain & βis feedback ratio

fig(a). Resistive feedback in op-amp

 Here the stability of op-amp is decided by the loop gain AoLβ.
 The characteristic equation (1+AoLβ) = 0, the circuit will become just unstable i.e lead into
sustained oscillation.
 Rewrite the equation we have 1- (- AoLβ) = 0
AoLβ= -1 = -1+j0
Since AoLβ is a complex quantity it has magnitude and phase.
|AoLβ| = 1 ..magnitude condition …….(1)

….angle condition…..(2)
 Here (1) & (2) are the conditions for oscillations. These are called as Barkhausen criterion.
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
|AoLβ| ≥1 unstable APPLICATIONS
 The condition for stability of op-amp is |AoLβ| < 1
 In the circuit, feedback network is a resistive network. So it does not provide any phase shift.
 For stability of op-amp the AoL & AcL does not exceed -20dB/decade roll off rate & phase shift
must be minimum.

1.9.3 SLEW RATE

 For small signals i.e the signals having peak amplitude Vm< 1v, the speed of the op-amp is
specified by rise time.
 Rise time is defined as the time taken by the output voltage to change from 10% to 90%
of final value for a step input.
0.35
tr =
�.�
 For large signals i.e signals having peak value Vm>1v, the op-amp speed is specified by slew
rate.
Slew Rate: It is the maximum rate of change of output voltage for a change in input voltage.
Slew rate = 풅� /max Units -V/µsec
�
 For ideal op-amp B.W = ∞ and slew rate = ∞
 For practical op-amp larger B.W , slew rate higher
 Slew rate increases with closed loop gain & DC supply voltages.
 Slew rate decreases with increase in temperature.
 For practical op-amps, the range of slew rate is 0.1v/µsec - 10001v/µsec

Causes of slew rate:

 The slew rate is because, presence of capacitor at the output of an op-amp at higher frequencies in
equivalent circuit.
 This capacitor prevents the output voltage from responding immediately to a fast charging input.
 The rate at which the voltage across capacitor Vc increases is given by, Vc= 1/c∫� � ��

1.12 INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER

 In a no. of industrial and consumer applications, one is required to measure and control physical
quantities.Some typical examples are measurement and control of temperature, humidity, light
intensity, water flow, etc. These physical quantities measured with the help of transducers.
 The output of transducer has to be amplified so that it can drive the indicator (or) display system.
This function is performed by an instrumentation amplifier.
 The important features of an instrumentation amplifier are :
(i) High gain accuracy
(ii) High CMRR
(iii) High gain stability with low temperature coefficient

 There are specially designed op-amps such as µA725 to meet the above stated requirements
of a good instrumentation amplifier.
 Monolithic (single chip) instrumentation amplifier are also available commercially such as

 In the circuit of fig (a), source V1 sees an input impedance of R3+R4(=101kΩ) and the
impedance seen by source V2 is only R1(1kΩ).
 This low impedance may load the signal source heavily. Therefore, high resistance buffer is used
preceding each input to avoid this loading effect as shown in fig (b).

Fig (b) An improved Instrumentation Amplifier using ‘3’ op-amp’s.

 The op-amps A1 and A2 have differential input voltage as zero.

I.e. vd=0, i.e. v1=v2.
 For V1=V2, i.e. under common mode condition, the voltage across R will be zero.
 As no current flows through R&R1 ,the non –inverting amplifierA1 act as voltage follower, so its
output v21 =v2.
 Similarly op-amp A2 acts as voltage follower having output v11=v1.
 If v1≠v2, current flows in R and R1, and (v21-v1) > (v2-v1).
This circuit has differential gain and CMRR is more compared to the single op-amp circuit
of fig (a).
 The output voltage v0 can be calculated as follows:

 In eq’n (4), if we choose ,R2=R1=25kΩ & R1=25kΩ ,R=50Ω, then a gain of

can be achieved.
 The difference gain can be varied by varying R(potentiometer) as in fig (b)

i.e
And R should never be made equal to zero i.e. R≠0, R=0, Ad=∞
 To avoid such a situation, in a practical ci rcuit, a fixed resistance in series with a potentiometer is
used in place of ‘R’.

INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER USING TRANSDUCER BRIDGE

 The circuit uses a resistive transducer whose resistance changes as a function of the physical
quantity to be measured.
 The bridge is initially balanced by a dc supply voltage vdc so that v1=v2.
 As the physical quantity changes, the resistance RT of the transducer also changes ,causing an
unbalance in the bridge (v1≠v2).
 This differential voltage now gets amplified by the three op-amp differential Instrumentation

1.13 AC AMPLIFIER
 The inverting and non –inverting op-amp configurations, respond to both ac and dc signals.
 If one wants to get the ac frequency response of an op-amp (or) if the ac input signal is super
imposed with dc level, it becomes essential to block the dc component.
 This is achieved by using an ac amplifier with a coupling capacitor,
 AC amplifiers are of ‘2’ types
(1) Inverting AC amplifiers

AC AMPLIFIER
 The circuit is as shown in fig(a)

Fig(b) Non- inverting AC amplifier Fig(c) High i/p impedance non-inv AC amplifier

 Here a resistor R2 is added to provide a dc return to ground

 This reduces the overall input impedance of the amplifier, which is approximately equal to R2.
 This problem of flow input impedance is eliminated by connecting a capacitor C3 as shown in
fig(b).
 Capacitor C3 is large enough to act as short circuit to ac signals.
 The non- inverting terminal and the node ‘n’will be almost at the same potential so that R2 carries
almost no current . Hence the circuit will have an extremely high input impedance.

1.13.3 AC VOLTAGE FOLLOWER

 The circuit of a practical ac voltage follower is as shown in fig.

 The circuit is used as a buffer to connect a high impedance signal source to a low impedance load
which may even be capacitive.
 The capacitor C1 and C2 are chosen high so that they are short circuit at all frequiences of
operation.
 Resistors R1 and R2 provide a path for dc input current into the non –inverting terminal
 C2 acts as a bootstrapping capacitor and connects the resistance R1 to the output terminal for ac
operation .

 Hence, the input resistance=∞

 Here AcL≡1[vo=vi]for voltage follower

Analysis:
 The node ‘N’ is at virtual ground potential i.e. VN=0.
 The current iC through the capacitor is,

 The current iF through the feedback resistor is, Vo/RF and there is no current into the op-amp.
 The nodal equation at node ‘N’ is iC+iF=0.

….(1)
 Thus the output voltage vo is a constant (-RFC1) times the derivate of the input voltage vi and the
circuit is a differentiator.
 The ‘-‘ minus sign indicates a 1800 phase shift of the output waveform vo with respect to the
input signal.

DRAWBACKS OF BASIC DIFFERENTIATOR :

 At high frequency a differentiator may become unstable and break into oscillations.
 The input impedance (1/ωc1) decreases with increase in frequency, there by making the circuit
sensitive to high frequency noise.

1.14.1 PRACTICAL DIFFERENTIATOR

Where ….(6)
 From eq’n(5), the gain increases at +20dB/decade for frequency f<fb and the gain decreases at -
20dB/decade for frequency f >fb.
 The frequency response for basic and practical differentiator is as shown in fig(c)
 ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

Fig(c) Frequency Response

 For the basic (or) ideal differentiator of fig(a), the frequency response increases continuosly at the
rate of +20dB/decade, even beyond ‘fb’causing stability problem at high frequency.
 Thus the gain at high frequency response i.e(f>fb) is reduced significantly to
-20db/decade in the frequency response of practical differentiator, thereby avoiding the high
frequency noise and stability problems.
 The value of the fb should be selected such that,

fa<fb<fc
Where fc is the unity gain –bandwidth of the op-amp in open –loop configuration.
 For good differentiator one must ensure that the time period ‘T’ of the input signal is larger than
(or) equal to RFC1, i.e
T ≥ RFC1
 A resistance Rcomp(=R1║RF) is connected to the (+) input resistance terminal to compensate for
the input bias circuit.

A good differentiator may be designed as per the following steps

(1) Choose fa equal to the highest frequency of the input signal. Assume a practical value of
C1(<1µF) and then calculate RF.
(2) Choose fb=10fa now calculate the values of R1 and CF so that R1C1=RFCF.

Integrating both sides, we get

….(1)
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
Where vo(0) is the initial output voltage.
APPLICATIONS
 The circuit thus provides an output voltage which is proportional to the time integral of the input
and R1CF is the time constant of the integrator
 A simple low pass RC circuit can also be work as an integrator when time constant is large. This
requires very large values of R & C.
 The phasor notation for eq(1) is written as,

…..(2)
 In steady state put s=jω and we get,

 So, the magnitude of the gain or integration transfer function is

…..(3)

|A| = |fb/f| where ….(4)

 From eq(3) at ω=0, the magnitude of the integrator transfer function is infinite |A| = ∞
 At dc i.e ω=0, the capacitor CF behaves as an open circuit and there is no negative feedback.
 The op-amp thus operates in open loop resulting in an infinite gain.
 In practice output never becomes infinite rather the output of the amplifier saturates at a voltage
close to the power supply depending on the polarity of the input dc signal.
i.e v0 = ±vsat, i.e v0 ≠∞.

Drawbacks of basic integrator:

 As the gain of the integrator decreases with increase in frequency i.e at low frequencies such as at
dc (ω≡0), the gain become infinite or saturates.

1.15.1 PRACTICAL INTEGRATOR (LOSSY INTEGRATOR)

 The gain of the integrator at low frequency(dc) can be limited to avoid the saturation problem if
the feedback capacitor is shunted by a resistor Rf as shown in fig (b).
 The parallel combination of Rf and Cf behaves like a practical capacitor which dissipates power
like an ideal capacitor.
 For this reason the circuit is also called as lossy integrator.
 The resistor RF limits low frequency gain to –RF/R1(generally RF = 10 R1) and thus provides dc
stabilization.

voltage levels are called upper threshold voltage (VUT) and lower threshold voltage (VLT).

UPPER THRESHOLD VOLTAGE (VUT):

 Let the output v0 = +Vsat. The voltage at (+ve) input terminal can be obtained by using
superposition.

1.18 INTRODUCTION TO VOLTAGE REGULATORS

 The function of a voltage regulator is to provide a stable dc voltage for powering other electronic
circuits.
 A voltage regulator should be capable of providing substantial output current.
 Voltage regulators are classified as
1) Series regulators (ANALOG regulators)
2) Switching regulators
1) SERIES REGULATOR:
 Series regulators use a power transistor connected in series between the unregulated dc input and
the load. The output voltage is controlled by the continous voltage drop taking place across the
series pass transistor sice the transistor conducts in the active or ANALOG region. These
regulators are also called as ANALOG regulators.
 ANALOG regulators may have fixed or variable output voltage and could be +Ve or –Ve.
1) Fixed output voltage regulators(or) three terminal voltage regulators
Ex: IC 78xx,79xx series
2) Adjustable output voltage regulators (or) Variable output voltage regulators.
Ex: IC 723 general purpose regulator.

2) SWITCHING REGULATOR:
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 Switching regulators operate the power transistor as a high frequency ON/OFF switch so that the
power transistor does not conduct current continuously, this gives improve the efficiency over
series regulator.

1) SERIES OP-AMP REGULATOR:

 A voltage regulator is an electronic circuit that provides a stable dc voltage independent of the
load current, temperature and ac line voltage variations
 The figure shows a regulated power supply using discrete components.

Fig . A Regulated Power Supply

 The circuit consists of following four parts:
1) Reference voltage circuit.
2) Error amplifier
3) Series pass transistor(Q1)
4) Feedback network
 Here Q1 acts as an emitter follower(v0 = vi)

1.19 THREE TERMINAL IC VOLTAGE REGULATORS

1) 78XX series : are three terminal, positive fixed ouput voltage regulators. There are ‘7’ output
voltage options available such as 5,6,8,12,15,18 and 24V.
78XX - XX indicates output voltage.
Ex: 7815 – represents a 15V regulator i.e v0=15V
2) 79XX series : are three terminal, negative fixed output voltage regulators. There are ‘9’ output
voltage options available such as -2,-5,-5.2,-6,-8,-12,-15,-18 and -24V.
79XX - XX indicates output voltage.
Ex: 7915 – represents a -15V regulator i.e v0= -15V
 These regulators are available in two types of packages
1) Metal package(TO – 3type)
2) Plastic package(TO – 220 type)
 The standard representation of monolithic voltage regulator is as shown in figure.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

Fig . Standard Representation Of Three Terminal Positive Monolithic Voltage Regulator

CHARACTERISTICS:
There are ‘4’ characteristics of three terminal IC regulators.
1. Vo: The regulated output voltage is fixed at value as specified by the manufacturer.
2. |Vin| ≥ |Vo| + 2volts: The unregulated input voltage must be at least 2v more than the regulted
output voltage.
3. Io(max): The load current may vary from 0 to rated maximum output current the IC is usually
provided with a heat sink otherwise it may not provide the rated maximum output current.
4. Thermal shutdown: The IC has a temperature (built-in) which turns off the IC when it becomes
too hot (usually 1250c to 1500c). the output current will drop and remains their until the IC has
coded significantly.

1.19.1 Boosting IC Regulator output current: (Boosting a Three Terminal Voltage Regulator)
 To boost the ouput current of a three terminal regulator, simply by connecting an external pass
transistor in parallel with the regulator as shown in fig.

 For low load currents, VBE (<0.7 V) to tuen Q1 and regulator itself supply the load current.
 As IL increasea, the voltage drop across R1 increases(VBE on increases)
 When VBE =0.7V, Q1 – ON
If IL=100mA, the voltage drop across R1 is I1*R1=100m*7 = 0.7V
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

 If IL increases more than 100mA, the voltage drop across R1(>0.7V) and Q1 turns ON and
supplies the extra current required.
 Since VBE(ON) remains constant, the excess current comes from Q1’s base after amplification
by β.

and
For the regulator,

Also,

 The maximum current Io(max) for a 7805 regulator is 1A

 Assume, VBE(ON) = 1V and β = 15, we get
IL = 1*(15+1) – 15*(1/7) = 16-(15/7) = 13.8A.

Limitations of three terminal regulators:

1) No short circuit protection.
2) Output voltage (positive or negative) is fixed.
 These limitations have been overcome in the 723 general purpose regulator.

2.1 INTRODUCTION TO ACTIVE FILTERS
FILTER: An electric filter is often a frequency selective circuit that passes a specified band of
frequencies or attenuated signals of frequencies outside this band.
 Filters may be classified in a number of ways
1. Analog or digital
2. Passive or Active
3. Audio frequency or radio frequency.

ANALOG OR DIGITAL FILTER

 The classification is done depending on the nature of the input signal processing.
 Analog filters are designed to process analog signals.
 Digital filters are used to process analog signal and using digital techniques.

ACTIVE OR PASSIVE FILTER

 Depending upon the type of elements used in their construction,filters may be classified as
passive or active.
 Elements used in passive filters are resistors, capacitors and inductors.
 Active filters use transistors or OP-AMPS in addition to resistors and capacitors.

AUDIO FREQUENCY AND RADIO FREQUENCY FILTER

 Depending on the frequency range, filters may be classified as audio frequency or radio frequency
filters.
 Audio frequency (AF) filters or low frequency RC filters uses resistors and capacitors. Inductors
are not used since they are large in size ,costly and may dissipate power and also inductors emit
magnetic fields.
 Radio frequency (RF) filters or high frequency LC or crystal filters uses inductors and capacitors.
These are used because of their high Q value (figure of merit) and crystals provide more stable
operation at high frequencies.

ADVANTAGES OF ACTIVE FILTER OVER PASSIVE FILTER

An active filter offers the following advantages over a passive filter.
 Gain and frequency adjustment flexibility
 Since the OP-Amp is capable of providing a gain, the i/p signal is not attenucated as it
is in a passive filter.
 In addition active filter is easy to tune or adjust.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 No loading problem
 Because of the high input resistance and low output resistance of the OP-Amp, the
active filter does not cause loading of the source or load.
 Cost
 Typically, active filters are more economical than passive filters.This is because of the
variety of cheaper OP-Amps and the absence of inductors.

ACTIVE FILTER APPLICATIONS

 Active filters are most extensively used in the field of communication and signal processing,
they are employed in one form or another in almost all sophisticated electronic systems.

COMMONLY USED ACTIVE FILTERS

 Low pass filter
 High pass filter
 Band pass filter
1. Narrow band pass filter
2. Wide band pass filter
 Band reject filter or band stop filter
1. Narrow band reject filter
2. Wide band reject filter
 All pass filter

dashed line. While the solid lines indicates the practical filter response.

2.2.2 BAND REJECT FILTER OR BAND STOP OR BAND ELIMINATION FILTER

 There are two types of band reject filter.
1. Wide band reject filter (WBRF)(Q<10)
2. Narrow band reject filter (NBRF) is commonly called as notch filter or (Q>10)
Wide Band Reject filter (WBRF)
 A WBRF (Q > 10) can be made using a LPF, HPF & a summer.
 The necessary conditions are
 The lower cut off frequency fl of the HPF should be much greater than the upper cut off
frequency fh of the LPF i.e fl > fh
 The pass band gain of LPF and HPF should be same.
Narrow band Reject filter (NBRF) or Notch Filter

 Notch filter is used for the rejection of a single frequency such as 50Hz power line frequency sum
as shown in figure 2.7.
 There are several ways to make notch filter
 One simple technique is to subtract the band pass filter otput from its input.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS Figure 2.7 notch filter block diagram
we know that,
 The band pass filter (NBPF) has an inverted output as the gain or transfer function is negative.
 Therefore while implementing we must use a summer instead of a substractor
 The BPF has a gain of Ao so that output at the centre frequency is will be –Ao x Vi
 To completely substract this output the input of the summer must be precisely Ao x Vi
 Thus a gain of Ao must be added between the input signal and the summer and is shown in figure
2.8

2.2.3 ALL PASS FILTER
 An all pass filter passes all frequency components of the input signal without any attenuation and
provides desired phase shifts at different frequencies of the input signal.
 When signals are transmitted over transmission lines such as telephone wires they undergo
change in phase. These phase changes can be compensated by all pass filter.
 Thus all pass filters as shown in figure 2.11 are also called delay equalizers or phase correctors

FREQUENCY SCALING [LPF/HPF]

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 The procedure used to convert an original cut off frequency fH to a new cut off frequency ‘fH’ is
called frequency scaling.
 Once a filter is designed there may sometimes be a need to change is cutoff frequency.
 Frequency scaling is accomplished as follows:
 To change a high cut off frequency fH, multiply R or C but not both by the ratio of the
original cutoff frequency to a new cut off frequency.
 Choose a standard value of capacitor and then calculate the value of resistor for a desired
cutoff frequency.this is because for a non-standard value of resistor a potentiometer can
be used

2.5.1 SINE WAVE GENERATOR
BASIC PRINCIPLE OF SINE WAVE OSCILLATOR
 An oscillator is basically a feedback amplifier as shown in figure 2.13

Figure 2.13 Basic structure of a feedback oscillator

OPERATION
 When Vi is applied at ‘1’ i.e., input of amplifier, Vo = AVi
 The feedback signal Vf at ‘2’ i.e Vf = A�Vi  Vf = �Vo
 Here A� represents loop gain of system
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
Vf = Vi when A� = 1
APPLICATIONS

 the output signal can be continuously obtained without any input signal,if we satisfy the condition
on the loop gain i.e.,
CONDITIONS FOR OSCILLATION
 |A�| = 1
 < �� = 0° or 360° or multiple of 2π (phase shift)
 This is called as barkhausen criterion for oscillations.
 The condition A�=1 can be satisified only at one specific frequency ‘fO’
 If |A�| < 1 then Vf decreases and does not produce oscillations.
 So |A�| slightly > 1 for sustained oscillations
RC PHASE SHIFT OSCILLATOR
 The OP-Amp is used in inverting mode and therefore provides 180° phase shift
 The additional 180° provided by RC feedback network
 i.e., for each RC network 60°=3x60°=180° phase shift
 Therefore total shift = 180° + 180° = 360°
 The feedback factor ‘�’ of the RC network can be calculated by writing KCL equations from

Since |A � | ≥ 1 for sustained oscillations,

Gain |A| ≥ 29
 Thus the gain of the inverting op-amp should be atleast 29. The gain AV should be be kept greater
than 29 .
 For low frequencies ( < 1KHz) op-amp 741 is used.
 For high frequencies LM 318 or LF351 should be used.

WEIN BRIDGE OSCILLATOR

 The feedback signal in this circuit is connected to the non inverting (+)input terminal so that op-
amp is working as non inverting amplifier.(phase shift is 0°)
 Figure 2.15 shows wein bridge oscillator
 The feedback network need not provide any phase shift .
 The circuit can be viewed as a wien bridge with a series RC network in one arm and a parallel RC
network in adjoining arm.
 Resistors R1 and RF are connected in remaining two arms.

Figure 2.17 practical wein bridge oscillator with adaptive negative feedback
 RF is initially adjusted to give a gain so that oscillations start.
 The output signal increases in amplitude until the voltage across R3 approaches the cut in voltage
of the diode.
 As the diode begin to turn on (one for +ve half cycle and other for –ve half cycle),the effective
feedback resistance Rf decreases because the diode is in parallel with the resistance R3.
 This will reduce the gain of the amplifier which in turn lowers the output amplitude. Hence,
sustained oscillations can be obtained.
 Further if the output signal falls the diode would begin to turn off thereby increasing Rf which in
turn increases gain.
2.5.2 SQUARE WAVE GENERATOR (ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR)

 VREF = �VO = ± �VSAT [∴VO=±VSAT]

 The output ‘Vo’ is also feedback to the – input terminal by means of low pass RC combination
(integrator)
 Whenever input at the – input terminal just exceeds VREF at the + input terminal switching takes
place resulting in a square wave output.
Operation
 Consider Vo = +VSAT , here VREF = + �VSAT
 The capacitor starts charging towards + VSAT through resistor R.
 When the voltage at (-) input terminal becomes just greater than this reference voltage ,the
output switches from +VSAT to –VSAT
 Voltage across capacitor,VC = +� VSAT
 Now VO = - VSAT, here VREF = - �VSAT
 The capacitor starts charging towards + VSAT through resistor R.
 When the voltage at (-) input terminal becomes just greater than this reference voltage ,the
output switches from–VSAT to +VSAT
 Voltage across capacitor,VC = - � VSAT
 The cycle repeats itself.
Expression for frequency of oscillation
 The frequency is determined by the time it takes the capacitor to charge from - � VSAT to +� VSAT
and vice-versa.
 The voltage across the capacitor as a function of time is given by

VC(t) = Vf + (Vi - Vf)�−�⁄��

Where the final value, Vf = +VSAT and intial value , Vi = - � VSAT

∴ Vc(t) = VSAT + (-� VSAT - VSAT) �−�⁄��

Vc(t) = VSAT -VSAT(1+ �) �−�⁄��

 At t= T1 , VC reaches �VSAT and switching takes place. Therefore ,

MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR
 Monostable multivibrator has one stable state and the other is quasi stable state.It is also called as
one shot mulivibrator.
 This circuit requires triggering, as the output stays in stable state until triggering pulse is applied.
 This circuit is used to generate rectangular pulse or delayed pulses or gating pulses.
 The width of the output pulse depends nly on external components connected to the op-amp.
 The monostable multivibrator is a modified form of astable multivibrator and is shown in figure
as shown in figure 2.20

 A diode D1 clamps the capacitor voltage to 0.7 V when the output is at +VSAT
 A negative going pulse signal of magnitude V1 passing through the differentiator R4C4 (spikes)

 Diode D1 conducts and VC the Vc the voltage across the capacitor C gets clamped to + 0.7

 The voltage at the (+) input terminal through R1R2 potentiometeric divider is + �VSAT.
 Now if a negative trigger of magnitude V1 is applied to the (+) input terminal so that the
effective signal at this terminal is less than VC that is 0.7 V. the output of the op-amp will
switch from +VSAT to -VSAT.
 Here the output is VO = - VSAT
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 The diode D1 is reverse biased and the capacitor starts charging exponentially to -VSAT through the
resistor ‘R’
 The voltage at (+) input terminal is now - �VSAT
 When the capacitor voltage VC becomes just slightly more negative than - �VSAT the
output of the op-amp switches back to +VSAT
 Then D1 conducts and the capacitor ‘c’ now starts charging to +VSAT through R until VC = 0.7V
as ‘C’ gets clamped to the voltage.
 The output waveforms are shown in figure 2.20

 The frequency of the square wave and the triangular wave is the same as shown in figure 2.22.

 The output of the comparator A1 is a square wave of amplitude ±VSAT and is applied to the (-)

 This triangular wave is fedback as input to the comparator A1 through a voltage divider R2R3.
Operation
 Let us consider, the output of comparator A1 is at +VSAT
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 Output of integrator A2 is at –Vramp (negative going ramp)
 Thus one end of voltage divider R2R3 is at a voltage +VSAT and other at the negative going ramp
of A2
 At the time t=T1,when the negative going ramp attains a value of –VRAMP the effective voltage at
point ‘P’ becomes slightly less than 0 V
 Thus the output of A1 switches from +VSAT to –VSAT
 At the time t=T2 the voltage at point ‘P’ becomes just above 0 V thus output of A1 switches from
–VSAT to +VSAT
 The cycle repeats and generates a triangular waveform.
 Amplitude of triangular wave depends upon RC value of the integrator A2 and the output voltage

2.5.4 SAW TOOTH WAVE GENERATOR

 The sawtooth waveform can also be generated by an asymmetrical astable multivibrator followed
by an integrator.
 The difference between the triangular wave and sawtooth waveform is that the rise time of
triangular wave is always equal to its fall time while in sawtooth generator rise time > fall time or
fall time > rise time
 The triangular wave generator can be converted into a sawtooth wave generator by connecting a
variable dc voltage into the non inverting terminal of the integrator
 In this circuit a potentiometer is used (47 KΩ) .
 potentiometer is used when
 the wiper moves towards –V,the rise time become longer than fall time
 the wiper moves towards +V , the fall time become more than rise time

2.6.1 FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM OF 555 TIMER

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS Figure 2.24 functional diagram of 555 timer
 From the figure 2.24 three 5 KΩ internal resistors act as voltage divider providing bias voltage of
(2/3)VCC to the upper comparator and (1/3)VCC to the lower comparator where VCC is supply
voltage.
 At pin 5 i.e., control voltage input terminal we can apply a modulation voltage to vary time
interval
 In applications where no such modulation is required it is recommened by the manufactures that a
capacitor (0.01 µF) be connected between control voltage terminal (pin 5) and a ground (pin 1) to
by pass noise or ripple from the supply.
Operation
 In the steady stable state the output 푄 of the control FF is HIGH. This makes the output LOW
(0) because of power amplifier which is basically an inverter and �1 (discharge transistor) is ON.
 A negative going trigger pulse is applied to pin2 and should have its dc level greater than the
threshold level of the lower comparator (VCC/3).
 At the negative going edge of the trigger as the trigger passes through (VCC/3),the output of the
lower comparator goes HIGH and sets the FF i.e S =1 & R=0 . Therefore Q=1 & 푄 = 0 and the
output is HIGH and Q1 is OFF
 During the positive excursion when the threshold voltage at pin 6 passes through (2/3)Vcc , the
output of the UC goes HIGH and resets the FF (S= 0 & R=1).Therefore

Q=0 & 푄 = 1 and the output is LOW and Q1 is ON.

 Here transistor Q2 serves as buffer to isolate the reset input from the FF and transistor Q1.The
transistor Q2 is driven by an internal reference voltage VREF obtained from supply voltage VCC
2.6.2 MONOSTABLE OPERATION
 In the stable state Q1 is ON thus clamping the external timing capacitor C to ground.
 The output is LOW
 Figure 2.25 shows monostable multivibrator
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

Figure 2.25 monostable multivibrator

 As shown in figure 2.26 trigger input passes through VCC/3, the LC sets flip flop (S = 1, R=0
&Q=1 , 푄 =0)
 As 푄 is LOW ,output is high and Q1 is OFF
 As Q1 is OFF ,‘C’ is unclamped i.e it starts charging and the voltage across it rises exponentially
through ‘R’ towards VCC with a time constant RC
 After the time period ‘T’ the capacitor voltage is just greater than 2/3 VCC i.e ., VC > 2/3 VCC then
UC resets the flipflop i.e., S=0 ,R=1 & Q=0 , 푄 =1
 As 푄 is HIGH ,output is LOW and Q1 is ON
 As Q1 is ON ,’C’ starts discharging towards ground rapidly
 The output is low (it returns to the steady state)
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

Figure 2.26 timer in monostable operation with functional diagram

 The voltage across the capacitor is given by

Vc = VCC (1- �−�⁄��)

At t = T, VC = 2/3VCC

∴ 2/3 VCC = VCC (1- �−�⁄��)

T=1.1 RC (seconds) {T changes wrt to R&C}

 If once triggered output remains in HIGH state until T elapse it depends upon R &C
 Any additional trigger pulse during this time interval (T) willnot change the output state
 But if a negative going reset pulse is applied to reset pin 4 then Q2 is OFF & Q1 is ON and the
external timing capacitor C is immediately discharged and output is LOW
 Even if the reset released the output will remain LOW until a negative going trigger pulse is

2.6.2.1 APPLICATIONS OF MONOSTABLE MODE
 Missing pulse detector
 When trigger input is low the emitter diode of transistor Q is forward biased.

Q= ON ∴ VBE(ON) = 0.7 V thus capacitor is clamped to 0.7V and o/p is HIGH.

 The circuit is designed so that ‘T’ time period of monostable circuit is slightly greater than
(1/3longer) that of the trigger pulses.
 As longs as trigger pulse train keeps coming at pin2,the output remains HIGH.
 If the pulse misses, the trigger input is high and transistor Q is OFF. The 555 timer enters
into normal state of operation shown in figure 2.28.

 Frequency divider
 A continuously triggered monostable circuit when triggered by a square wave generator
can be used as a frequency divider, if the timing interval is adjusted to be longer than the
period of the triggering square wave input signal
 The monostable multivibrator will be triggered by the first negative going edge of the
square wave input but the output will remain high for the next negative going edge of the
input square wave.
 The mono-shot will be triggered on the third negative going input, depending on the
choice of the time delay.

 The modulating signal applied at pin 5 gets superimposed upon the already existing
voltage (2/3)VCC at the inverting input terminal of UC.
 This in turn changes the threshold level of UC and the output pulse width modulation
takes place.

that of the continuous input pulse train trigger.

APPLICATIONS

 The timing resistor is now split into two sections RA and RB as shown in figure 2.33.
 Pin 7 of discharging transitor Q1 is connected to the junction of RA and RB
 When the power supply VCC is connected the external timing capacitor C charges towards VCC
through RA &RB,with a time constant (RA +RB)C
 During this time ,Capacitor charges and o/p is high as R=0 &S=1 .The LC sets the flipflop
&Q=1, 푄 =0. Thus Q1 is OFF.

Figure 2.33 astable multivibrator

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
During charging
APPLICATIONS
 When the capacitor voltage equals or just greater than 2/3 VCC then UC triggers the control flip
flop,(R=1 ,S=0 ,Q= 0, 푄 = 1).Thus Q1 is ON & output is low.
 As Q1 is ON, the capacitor C starts discharging towards ground through RB with a time constant
RBC
During discharging
 When the capacitor voltage equals or just less than 1/3 VCC then LC triggers the control flip
flop,(R=0 ,S=1 ,Q= 1, 푄 = 0).Thus Q1 is OFF & output is HIGH.
 As Q1 is OFF, the capacitor C starts charging & the cycle repeats
 The capacitor is periodically charged and discharged between 2/3 VCC & 1/3 VCC respectively.
 The length of time that the o/p remains HIGH is the time for the capacitor to charge from 1/3 VCC
to 2/3 VCC .
 It can be calculated as follows : the capacitor voltage for a low pass RC circuit subjected to a step
input of VCC volts is given by,

VC = VCC (1- �−�1⁄��)

 The time t1 taken by the circuit to charge from 0 to 2/3 VCC is

2/3 VCC = VCC (1- �−�1⁄��)

t1= 1.09 RC
 The time t1 taken by the circuit to charge from 0 to 1/3 VCC is

1/3 VCC = VCC (1- �−�2⁄��)

t1= 0.405 RC
 So the time to charge from 1/3 VCC to 2/3 VCC is

t HIGH = t1 – t2 = 0.69 RC

 So for the given circuit, THIGH = 0.69 (RA+RB)C

 The o/p is low while the capacitor discharges from 2/3 VCC to 1/3 VCC
 The voltage across the capacitor is given by

1/3VCC = 2/3 VCC�−�⁄��

On solving we get, tLOW = 0.69 RC

 For the given circuit, TLOW = 0.69 RBC
 Total time, T =TLOW +THIGH

2.6.3.1 APPLICATIONS IN ASTABLE MODE
 FSK Generator
 In digital data communication,binary code is transmitted by shifting a carrier
frequencybetween two preset frequencies. This type of transmission is called as frequency
shift keying (FSK) technique as shown in figure 2.35.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

Figure 2.35 FSK generator

 In a teletype writer using a modulator-demodulator (MODEM) a frequency between 1070
Hz to 1270 Hz is used as one of the standard FSK signal.
 The standard digital data input frequency is 150 Hz.
 When the input is high,transistor Q is OFF and 555 timer works in normal astable mode of
operation. The frequency of the o/p waveform is,

 The resistance RC can be adjusted to get an output frequency 1270 Hz.
 PPM
 The PPM as shown in figure 2.36 can be constructed by applying a modulating signal to
pin 5 of a 555 timer connected for astable operation.
 The o/p pulse position varies with the modulating signal since the threshold voltage and
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC

 The waveforms shows the o/p waveform generated for a triangular wave modulation
signal. From the o/p waveform the frequency is varying leading to pulse position
modulation.
 The typical practical component values:

RA = 3.9 KΩ,RB = 3 KΩ, C=0.01µF & VCC =5 V

 Schmitt trigger using 555 timer
 The use of 555 timer as a Schmitt trigger is shown in figure 2.37

Figure 2.37 timer in schmitt trigger operation

 Here the two internal components are tied together and externally biased at VCC/2 through
R1 and R2
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
 Since the upper comparator will trip at 2/3 VCC and the lower comparator will trip at 1/3
APPLICATIONS
VCC ,the bias provided by R1 & R2 is centered within these two thresholds [i.e VCC/2]
 Thus a sine wave of sufficient amplitude (> VCC/6 = 2/3 VCC – VCC/2) to exceed the
reference levels causes the internal flip flop to alternately set and reset, providing a square
wave output as shown below in figure 2.38

Figure 2.38 input output waveforms of Schmitt trigger

 The frequency of the output square wave remains the same as that of the input sine signal.
2.7 PHASE LOCKED LOOP
Introduction
 The phase locked loop (PLL) is an important building block of ANALOG systems.It came
into existence in 1930’s
 PLLs are available as inexpensive monolithic IC’s
 PLL is a technique for electronic frequency control
 Applications include satellite communication systems, air borne navigational systems, FM
communication systems, computers etc.,
2.7.1 BLOCK SCHEMATIC OF PLL
 The basic block schematic of PLL figure 2.39,which is a feedback system consists of
 Phase detector / comparator
 A low pass filter
 An error amplifier
 A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO)
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

Figure 2.39 Block schematic of the PLL

 The VCO is a free running multivibrator and operates at a set of frequency fO called as free
running frequency. This fO is determined by an external timing capacitor and an external resistor .
 The ‘fO’ can also be shifted to either side by applying a dc control voltage ‘vC’. The frequency
deviation is directly proportional to the dc control voltage and hence it is called as “voltage
controlled oscillator” or VCO
 If an input signal ‘VS’ of frequency ‘fS’ is applied to the PLL,the phase detector compares the
phase and frequency of the incoming signal to that of the output ‘VO’ of frequency ‘fO’ of the
VCO
 If the two signals differ in frequency and /or phase,an error voltage VC is generated
 The phase detector is basically a multiplier and produces the sum (fS + fO) and difference (fS -fO)
components at its output .ie., (fS ± fO)
 The high frequency component (fS ± fO) is removed by the lowpass filter and the difference
frequency component ie., (fS -fO) is amplified by error amplifier and then applied as control
voltage VC to vco
 The signal VC shifts the VCO frequency in a direction to reduce the frequency difference between
fS and fO
 Once this action starts, we say that the signal is in the capture range
 The VCO continues to change frequency till its output frequency ‘fO’ is exactly the same as the
input signal frequency ‘fS’ i.e fS = fO . The circuit is then said to be locked.
 Once locked, the o/p frequency ‘fO’ of VCO is identical to ‘fS’ except for a finite phase difference
φ .This phase difference φ generates a corrective control voltage VC to shift the VCO frequency
form ‘fO’ to ‘fS’ and thereby maintain the lock.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 Once locked,PLL tracks the frequency changes of the i/p signal
 Thus ,a PLL goes through three stages figure 2.40
 Free running
 Capture
 Locked or tracking

Figure 2.40 the capture transient

 From figure,as capture starts,a small sine wave appears.This is due to the difference frequency
between the VCO and the i/p signal. The dc component of the beat drives the VCO towards the
lock.
 The low pass filter controls the capture range,if difference between ‘fS’ & ‘fO’ is very high it
attenuates and PLL will not respond.
 If fS = fO ,PLL is locked,LPF allows the frequency and VCO can track the signal even beyond the
capture band.
 Thus ,tracking range is always larger than the capture range.
Some of the important definitions in relation to PLL
Lock in Range: Once the PLL is locked, it can track the frequency changes in the incoming signals.
The range of frequencies over which the PLL can maintain lock with the incoming signal is called the
lock I range or tracking range. The lock range is usually expressed as a percentage of fO, the VCO
frequency.
Capture Range: The range of frequencies over which the PLL can acquire lock with an input signal
is called the capture range. This parameter is also expressed as a percentage of ‘fO’.
Pull in time: The total time taken by the PLL to establish lock is called pull in time. This depends on
the initial phase and frequency difference between the two signals as well as on the overall loop gain
and loop filter characteristics.

2.7.2 DESCRIPTION OF INDIVIDUAL BLOCKS
Phase Detector /comparator
 The phase detection is the important part of PLL system.There are two types of phase detectors.
 Analog phase detector
 Digital phase detector
Analog phase detector /half wave detectors
 The principle of analog phase detection using switch type phase detector is shown in figure 2.41
 An electronic switch ‘S’ is opened and closed by signal coming from VCO (normally a square
wave)

Figure 2.41 basic scheme of PLL

 The i/p signal is therefore chopped at a repetition rate determined by VCO frequency.
 Since,the switch ‘S’ is closed only when VCO o/p is positive,the o/p waveform VF will be half
sinusoids(shown hatched) .This typre of phase detector is called as half wave detector ; since the
phase information for only one half of the output waveform is detected and averaged.
 The o/p of the phase comparator when filtered through a LPF gives an error signal which is the
average value of the o/p waveform shown by the dotted line as shown in figure 2.42
 When the error voltage is zero,when the phase shift between the two i/p’s (fS & fO) is 90°. So,for
perfect lock,the VCO o/p should be 90° out of phase with respect to the i/p signal. [Ve =0 when φ
= 90°]
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

Figure 2.42 VCO output waveforms

Analysis
 A phase comparator is basically a multiplier which multiplies the i/p signals by the VCO signal

i/p signal VS = VS sin 2 휋���

VCO signal VO = VO sin(2�ͼ�� + �)

 Thus the phase comparator o/p is,

Ve = K VS .VO sin(2�ͼ��) sin(2�ͼ�� + �)

Where, K = phase comparator gain (attenuation constant)

� = phase shift between the input signal and the VCO output
� �� ��
∴ Ve = [cos(2휋� � − 2휋� � − �) − cos(2휋� � + 2휋� � + �)]
2 � � �
�

When PLL is locked,fS=fO

� �� ��
Then ,Ve = [cos(−�) − cos(4휋� � + �)]
2 �

 The phase comparator o/p contains a double frequency term and a dc term which varies as a
function of phase φ i.e., cos φ between the two signals.
 The double frequency term can be eliminated by the low pass filter and the dc signal is amplified
and applied to the modulating input terminal of a VCO
 When PLL is in perfect locked state & the phase shift φ =90°, Ve =0
� �� ��
Ve = cos � at φ =90° ,Ve = 0
2

Drawbacks
 The o/p Ve is proportional to the i/p signal amplitude VS.This is undesirable since it makes phase
detector gain and the loop gain dependent on the i/p signal amplitude.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 The o/p voltage is proportional to cos φ and not proportional to φ,making it non ANALOG
 Both of these problems can be eliminated by limiting the amplitude of the i/p signal
,i.e.,converting the i/p to a constant amplitude square wave.
Balanced modulator / Full wave switching phase detector
 In balanced modulator, the input to the phase detector is a square wave & the VCO output is also
a square wave.
 The input signal is applied to the differential pair Q1Q2
 Transistors Q3-Q4 and Q5 –Q6 are two sets of SPDT switches activated by the VCO output as
shown in figure 2.43
 The input signal V3 and the VCO output VO are assumed to be high to switch the transistors fully
ON/OFF
 When VS and VO are both high during the time 0 to (π-φ),

Transistors Q1 is ON & Q3 is ON & Q6 is ON and current IE flows through Q1 & Q3

output voltage VE = -����

 Next for the period (π-φ) for π,when VS is high and VO is low,

Transistors Q1 is ON & Q4 is ON & Q5 is ON and IE flows through Q1 & Q4

Output voltage VE = ����.

 The average value of the phase detector output VE can be calculated as,

 Timing capacitor CT is ANALOGly charged or discharged by a constant current source/sink.
 Amount of current can be controlled by changing the voltage VC applied at the modulating input
or by changing the timing resistor RT.
 Voltage at pin 5 is equal to pin 6
 If modulating voltage at pin 5 is increased ,the voltage at pin 6 increases, resulting in less voltage
across RT and thereby decreasing the charging current.
 A small capacitor of 0.001 µF connected between pin 5 and 6 to eliminate possible oscillations.
 A VCO is commonly used in converting low frequency into an audio frequency range.
 Voltage across CT is applied to the inverting input terminal of Schmitt trigger A2 via buffer
amplifier A1.
 Voltage swing is designed to VCC and 0.5 VCC
 If Ra= Rb ,the voltage at the non inverting input terminal of A2 swings from 0.5 VCC to 0.25 VCC .
 When the voltage on CT exceeds 0.5 VCC during charging, output of Schmitt trigger goes LOW
(0.5 VCC).
 Since the source and sink are equal, capacitor charges and discharges for the same amount of
time.
 This gives a triangular voltage waveform across CT at pin 4
 The square wave output is inverted by inverter A3 and is available at pin 3.
 Output waveform is calculated as follows 2.48

Low pass filter

 The filter used in a PLL may be either passive type as shown in figure a,b or active type c 2.49
 LPF not only removes the high frequency components and noise,but also controls the dynamic
characteristics of the PLL.
 The characteristics include capture range and lock range,bandwidth,transient response.
 If filter bandwidth is reduced,response time increases.

 This reduces the capture range of the PLL.
 The charge on the filter gives short time memory to the PLL.

 This produces high noise immunity and locking stability.

2.7.3 PLL APPLICATION

Tracking Band-Pass Filter for Angle Modulated Signals

Because of their temperature dependence, narrowband bandpass filters cannot be implemented by

conven- tional analog filters. In other applications, the carrier frequency of angle-modulated signal to
be selected varies. These problems may be overcome if a PLL tracking the carrier is used as a bandpass
filter. The PLL separates the spectrum of the angle-modulated signal from other interfering signals, or
limits the transmitted spectrum to within specified bounds. The relationship between the input and
output phase modulation is determined by the closed-loop transfer function

Θo(s) = H(s)Θi(s) . (1)

Since differentiation in time corresponds to multiplication by s, the relationship between input and
output FM is obtained from Eq. (1) as
sΘo(s) = H(s)[sΘi(s)] .

The filter characteristic is determined by the closed-loop transfer function. A further advantage of PLL
bandpass tracking filter is that it rejects the amplitude modulation, that is, it may also be used as a
limiter. The block diagram of a bandpass tracking filter is shown in Fig. 1. If the loop parameters
depend on the amplitude of the input signal, an AGC circuit must precede the PD in order to keep the
filter parameters constant. Note that the problems of and the difficulties associated with the design and
implementation of a high-frequency bandpass filter are reduced to the design and implementation of a
baseband loop filter as shown in 2.50

Figure 2.50 PLL configurations for band-pass tracking filter and CW carrier recovery. The AGC circuit
is used to keep the input amplitude, that is, the loop parameters, constant.

CW Carrier Recovery
In every coherent receiver, the carrier has to be recovered from the noisy input signal [9]. Here, it is
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
assumed that the carrier is present all the time in the received spectrum; the recovery of a suppressed
APPLICATIONS
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
carrier will be considered later. The aim of CW carrier recovery is to retrieve the carrier and to
APPLICATIONS
suppress as much noise, modulation, and interference as possible. The CW carrier recovery circuit is a
narrowband bandpass tracking filter implemented by a PLL as shown in figure.
The noise-free recovery of a carrier in a noisy environment requires a very narrowband PLL.
Unfortu- nately, the acquisition properties of narrowband PLLs are very poor. This problem may be
eliminated by using two different loop bandwidths: a wide one during acquisition and a narrow one in
steady-state, after the phase-locked condition has been achieved .
The Doppler effect must also be considered in many carrier recovery circuits. The ideal second-
order PLL may track a frequency ramp, but the reduction of tracking error requires a wide loop
bandwidth. Unfortunately, the noise-rejection performance of a PLL is inversely proportional to the
loop bandwidth. For low SNR, this contradiction may be solved by using third- or higher-order loop
configurations.

PLL Frequency Divider and Multiplier

The PLL may be used as a frequency divider if a frequency multiplier is placed into the feedback path as
shown in figure 2.51 , where M denotes the frequency-multiplier ratio.

Figure 2.51 Block diagram of a PLL frequency divider.

Let ωi denote the frequency of input signal s(t, Φ). Under phase locked condition the PLL divides

the input frequency by M

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
When the carrier frequency of an angle modulated signal is divided, its modulation frequency fm
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
does not change, but its phase/frequency deviation is divided by M
APPLICATIONS

H(s) denotes the closed-loop PLL transfer function. However, the frequency multiplier in the feedback
path increases the loop gain as shown by

K = MKgKdKv.

The PLL may be used as a frequency multiplier if, instead of the multiplier, a frequency divider with
division ratio of N is placed into the feedback path in Fig. Again, the modulation frequency of angle
modulated signal does not change, but the carrier frequency and the phase/frequency deviation is
multiplied by N

where the loop gain is

Frequency Synthesis and Angle Modulation by PLL

Signals with high frequency stability and high spectral purity are often required in electrical engineering.
In many applications, the frequency of generated signal must be varied by a digital code.
The PLL is widely used in frequency synthesis to generate spectrally pure signals and, if necessary,
to operate as an analog or digital frequency or phase modulator. Frequency multiplication or division,
frequency addition or subtraction may be performed, using a PLL in conjunction with programmable
frequency dividers and mixers as shown in Fig.2.52. As a result, the output frequency fo depends on

the reference fR and offset fS frequencies, moreover, on the division ratios of frequency dividers. In

frequency synthesis, the PLL input is called reference signal and its frequency is denoted by fR. To
optimize the system performance, frequently a multiloop circuit configuration is used.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS Figure 2.52 Frequency synthesis by phase lock.
In frequency synthesis, the dominant noise sources are the VCO, frequency dividers, mixers, and
phase detectors. The main design goals are to minimize the output phase noise, to avoid the generation of
spurious output signals, and to minimize the unwanted output FM caused by the periodic output of the
phase detector. These requirements can be satisfied with special PD configurations, such as sample-and-
hold phase detector or phase-frequency detector with a charge-pump circuit. The operation of these
edge-triggered PDs and the analysis of PLLs implemented with them is discussed in the last section of
the article.
In addition to frequency synthesis, PLLs may be also used as FM or PM modulators. The
corresponding transfer functions for FM and PM are

UNIT III DATA CONVERTERS

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
3.1 INTRODUCTION
APPLICATIONS

 Most of the real world operation of any digital communication system is based upon analog to
digital (A/D) and digital to analog (D/A) conversion. The below fig. highlights a typical application
within which A/D and D/A conversion is used.

 The transducer circuit will gives an analog signal. This signal is transmitted through the anti-
aliasing filter to avoid higher components, and then the signal is sampled at twice the frequency
of the signal to avoid the overlapping.
 The output of the sampling circuit is applied to A/D converter where the samples are converted
into binary data i.e. 0’s and 1’s. Like this the analog data converted into digital data.
 The digital data is again reconverted back into analog i.e D/A conversion is done by exact
opposite operation of A/D converter.
 The output of the D/A convertor is staircase. This staircase output is transmitted through the
smoothing filter to reduce the effect of quantization noise.

3.2 BASIC DAC TECHNIQUES (Resistive Techniques)

Digital –Analog Converter:

 The input of the DAC is n-bit binary word ‘d’ and ‘n’ number of input bits designated as
d1,d2,d3,…..dn and is combined with the reference voltage VR to give an analog output signal.
 The output of DAC can be either a voltage or current.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 For a voltage output DAC, the D/A converter is mathematically described as

…..(1)
Where,
Vo = output voltage
VFS = full scale output voltage
K = scaling factor usually adjusted to unity
d1,d2…..dn = n-bit binary fractional word with the decimal point located at the left
d1 = most significant bit (MSB) with a weight of VFS/2
dn = least significant bit (LSB) with a weight of VFS/2n
 There are many ways to implement the above equation (1), but here we will discuss the following
resistive techniques only.
1) Weighted Resistor DAC
2) R-2R Ladder
3) Inverted R-2R Ladder

3.3 DIFFERENT TYPES OF DACs

3.3.1 WEIGHTED RESISTOR DAC

Fig.(a) A simple weighted resistor DAC

 Fig.(a) shows a simplest circuit of weighted resistor DAC. It uses a summing inverting amplifier.
 It contains n-electronic switches (i.e. n switches) and these switches are controlled by binary
input bits d1, d2,…..dn. These switches are Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) type.
 If the binary input bit to a switch is ‘1’ then the switch connects the resistor to reference voltage
(–VR)
 If the binary input bit to a switch is ‘0’ then the switch connects the resistor to the ground.
 From Fig(a) , the output current I0 for an ideal op-amp can be written as,
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

 The output voltage is,

…..(2)

By comparing eq’s (1) & (2), if Rf = R then K=1 and VFS = VR

 The circuit shown in fig (a) uses a negative reference voltage (- VR). The analog output voltage is
positive staircase as shown in fig (b) for a 3-bit weighted resistor DAC.

…

& d1d2d3=110 V0=6/8 VR

d1d2d3=111 V0=7/8 VR
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
Disadvantages
1) Very wide ranges of different values of resistors are required.
2) When number of binary input increases, it is not easy to maintain the resistance ratio. But for better
resolution, the input word length has to be increased.
3) For 8-bit DAC, the resistors required are 21R,22R,….,28R the larger resistance is 128 times the
smallest one for only 8-bit DAC.
4) For a 12-bit DAC, the largest resistance required is 5.12MΩ if the smallest is 2.5KΩ.
5) The fabrication of such a large resistance in IC is not practical. Therefore especially in monolithic
form restricts the use of weighted resistor DAC’s to below 8-bits.
3.3.2 R-2R LADDER DAC
 Wide range of resistors required in binary weighted resistor type DAC. This can be avoided by
using R-2R ladder type DAC where only ‘2’ values of resistors are required. The circuit of R-2R
ladder network is shown in fig(a).
 The typical value of ‘R’ ranges from 2.5KΩ to 10KΩ.
 Consider a 3-bit DAC as shown in fig(a), where the switch position d1d2d3 corresponds to the
binary word 100.

 From fig (c), the voltage at node ‘C’ is,

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

 The output voltage Vo for an inverting amplifier is, Vo = -(RF/R1).Vi

 Similarly, the switch position corresponding to binary word 001 in 3-bit DAC is as shown in fig.

The Output Voltage,

 In a similar way, the output voltage for R-2R ladder type DAC corresponding to other 3-bit binary
words can be calculated.

3.3.3 INVERTED R-2R LADDER DAC (Current mode R-2R Ladder DAC)
 In weighted resistor and R-2R ladder DAC the current flowing through the resistor is always
changed because of the changing input binary bits 0 and 1.
 More power dissipation causes heating, which in turn cerates non-ANALOGity in DAC. This
problem can be avoided by using INVERTED R-2R LADDER DAC.
 A 3-bit INVERTED R-2R LADDER DAC is as shown in fig (a) where the position of MSB and
LSB is interchanged.
 Each input binary word connects the corresponding switch either to ground or to the inverting
input terminal of op-amp which is also at virtual ground.
 Since both the terminals of switches ‘di’ are at ground potential, current flowing in the resistances
is constant and independent of switch position i.e independent of input binary word.

Fig (a) Inverted R-2R ladder DAC

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 From fig(a), when switch ‘di’ is at logical ‘0’ i.e to the left, the current through 2R resistor flows
to the ground and when the switch ‘di’ is at logical ‘1’ i.e to the right, the current through 2R
sinks to the virtual ground.
 The circuit has the important property that the current divides equally at each of the nodes. This is
because the equivalent resistance to the right (or) to the left of any node is exactly 2R.
 The division of the current is as shown in fig(b).

Fig (b) Inverted R-2R ladder DAC showing division of current for digital input word 100.

 Consider a reference current of 2mA. Just to the right of the node A, the equivalent resistor is 2R.
Thus 2mA of reference input current divides equally to value 1mA at node A.

 Similarly to the right of node B, the equivalent resistor is 2R. Thus 1mA of current further divides
to value 0.5mA at node B.

 Similarly current divides equally at node C to 0.25mA

 The equal division of current in successive nodes remains the same in the “inverted R-2R ladder”
irrespective of the input binary word.

 Thus the currents remains constant in each branch of the ladder. Since constant current implies
constant voltage, the ladder node voltages remains constant at VR/20, VR/21,VR/22.
 The circuit works on the principle of summing currents and is also said to be operate in the
current mode.
 The most important advantage of the current mode (or) inverted ladder node voltages remain
constant even with changing input binary words, the stray capacitances are not able to produce
slow-down effects on the performance of the circuit.

Advantage of Current mode (or) Inverted Ladder

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 The equal division of current in successive nodes remains same(constant). So, in inverted R/2R
ladder DAC, node voltages also remain constant with changing input binary words, this avoids
any slowdown effects by stray capacitances.

3.4 ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTERS

 An analog to digital converter is defined as a circuit, which converts analog signal, applied at its
input into equivalent digital output.

(or)

 It can also be defined as a circuit which accepts analog input voltage and converts into its
equivalent binary word i.e d1,d2,d3,....... dn.

 The block schematic of ADC is as shown in fig.

 The functional value of (D) of an analog to digital converter can be expressed as,

D = d12-1 + d22-2+……+dn2-n
Where d1 is MSB & dn is LSB

 ADC has two control lines: START input to tell the ADC when to start the conversion and EOC
(End of conversion) output to announce when the conversion is complete.

 Depending upon the type of application, ADC’s are designed for microprocessor interfacing (or)
to directly drive LCD (or) LED displays.

3.5 DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADC

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
ADCs are broadly classified into two groups according to their conversion techniques
APPLICATIONS
1) Direct type ADCs
2) Integrating type ADCs

1) Direct type ADCs

 Direct type ADCs compares a given analog signal with the internally generated equivalent
signal.

 This group includes

1) Flash (Comparator) type converter
2) Counter type converter
3) Servo or Tracking type converter
4) Successive approximation type converter
2) Integrated type ADCs
 Integrated type ADCs perform conversion in an indirect manner by first changing the analog
input signal to ANALOG function of time or frequency and then to a digital code.

 The integrating type of ADCs does not require a S/H circuit at the input. If the input changes
during conversion, the ADC output code will be proportional to the value of the input averaged
over the integration period.
1) Charge balancing ADC
2) Dual slope ADC

3.5.1 Flash (Parallel Comparator) A/D converter

 The flash A/D converter is the simplest, fastest and most expensive technique for high degree of
accuracy.

 The fig. (a) shows a 3-bit A/D converter. This circuit consists of a resistive divider network, 8
op-amp comparators and a 8-line to 3-line encoder (3-bit priority encoder).
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

 The comparator and its truth table is shown in fig.(b)

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 The truth table for the flash type ADC is as shown in fig(c).

 At each node of resistive divider, a comparison voltage is available. Since all the resistors are of
equal value, the voltage levels available at the nodes are equally divided between the reference
voltage VR and the ground.

 The purpose of the circuit is to compare the analog input voltage Va with each of the node
voltages.
Advantages
1) The flash ADC is the fastest type of ADC because the conversion is performed simultaneously through
a set of comparators, hence referred as flash type ADC.
2) Typical conversion time is 100ns or less.
3)The construction is simple and easier to design.
Disadvantages
1) The flash ADC is not suitable for higher number of bits.
2) To convert the analog input voltage into a digital signal of n-bit , (0 to 2n – 1) or 2n comparators are
required. The number of comparators required doubles for each added bit. A 2-bit ADC requires 4
comparators, 3-bit ADC requires 8 comparators.
3) The larger the value of ‘n’, the more complex is the priority encoder.

3.5.2 COUNTER TYPE A/D CONVERTER

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 The counter type ADC is constructed using a binary counter, DAC, a comparator and an AND
gate.
 Its operating principal involves that the input to the DAC is varied and its output is continuously
compared with the analog input which is to be converted into the digital form.
 The block arrangement of counter type A/D converter is as shown in fig.(a)
 Consider a 3-bit counting ADC.

Fig.(a) A counter type A/D converter

Operation:
 In the beginning of operation the counter is reset to zero count by reset pulse. After releasing the
reset pulse the clock pulses are counted by the binary counter. These pulses go through the AND
gate which is enabled by the voltage comparator high output. The number of pulses counted
increase with time.
 The binary word representing this count is used as the input of a D/A converter whose output is a
stair case. The analog output Vd of DAC is compared to the analog input Va by the comparator.
 When Va>Vd the output of the comparator becomes high and the AND gate is enabled to allow
the transmission of the clock pulses to the counter, the counter counts the no. of pulses &
provides its output to DAC.
 When Va<Vd the output of the comparator becomes low and the AND gate is disabled. This
stops the counting at the time Va ≤ Vd and the digital output of the counter represents the analog
input voltage Va.
 For a new value of analog input Va, a second reset pulse is applied to clear the counter.
 Upon the end of the reset, the counting begins again as shown in fig(b).
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

Fig.(b) D/A output staircase waveform

Advantages:
1) Its operation is simple and it requires less hardware components.

Disadvantages:
1) Low speed is the most serious drawback of this method.
2) The conversion time is as long as (2n – 1) clock periods depending upon the magnitude of the
input voltage Va.

Ex: For 12-bit system,1MHZ frequency Conversion Time = (212 – 1)*1µs = 4.095ms

3.5.3 SUCCESSIVE-APPROXIMATION ADC

 The Successive Approximation technique uses a very efficient code search strategy to
complete n-bit conversion in just n-clock periods.

 An eight bit converter would require eight clock pulses to obtain a digital output.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 Fig .shows an 8-bit successive approximation ADC.

 The circuit uses a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) to find the required value of each
bit by trial and error.
Operation
 With the arrival of START command, the SAR sets MSB d1=1 with all other bits to zero so
that the trail code is 1000 0000.
 The output Vd of the DAC is now compared with analog input Va
 If Va > Vd, then 1000 0000 is less than the correct digital representation , the MSB is left at
‘1’ and the next LSB is made ‘1’ and further tested.
 If Va < Vd, then 1000 0000 is greater than the correct digital representation , So reset MSB to
‘0’ & go on the next LSB.
 This procedure is repeated for all subsequent bits, one at a time, until all bit positions have
been tested.
 Whenever the DAC output crosses Va, the comparator changes state and this can be taken as
the end of conversion(EOC) command.
 Fig (a) shows a typical conversion sequence.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

 From fig (b), the D/A output voltage becomes successively closer to actual analog input
voltage.
 It requires ‘8’ pulses to establish the accurate output regardless of the value of the analog
input. One additional clock pulse is used to load the output register & reinitialize the circuit.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
Advantages:
APPLICATIONS
1 Conversion time is very small.
2 Conversion time is constant and independent of the amplitude of the analog 2 input signal VA.
Disadvantages:
1 Circuit is complex.
2 The conversion time is more compared to flash type ADC.
Comparison of Speed of 8-bit Tracking ADC and Successive Approximation ADC

3.5.4 DUAL-SLOPE ADC (or) Dual Ramp ADC

 The functional diagram of the dual-slope (or) dual-ramp converter is as shown in fig(a).
 The Analog part of the circuit consists of a high input impedance buffer A1, Precision
Integrator A2 and a voltage comparator.
 The converter first integrates the analog input signal Va for a fixed duration of 2n clock
periods as shown in fig.(b)
 Then it integrates an internal reference voltage VR of opposite polarity until the integrator
output is zero.
 The no. of clock pulses ‘N’ required to return the integrator to zero is proportional to the value
of Va averaged over the integration period. Hence ‘N’ represents the desired output code.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

Operation:
 Before the START command arrives, the switch SW1 is connected to ground and SW2 is
closed.
 Any offset voltage present in the A1,A2 comparator loop after integration appears across the
capacitor CAZ till the threshold of the comparator is achieved.
 The capacitor CAZ thus provides automatic compensation for the input-offset voltages of all the
three amplifiers.
 Later when SW2 opens, CAZ acts as memory to hold the voltage required to keep the offset
nulled.
 At the arrival of START command, at t = t1, the control logic opens SW2 and connects SW1
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
to Va and enables the counter starting from zero.
 The circuit uses an n-stage ripple counter and therefore the counter resets to zero after
counting 2n pulses.
 The analog voltage Va is integrated for a fixed no. 2n counts of clock pulses after which the
counter resets to zero.
 If the clock period is ‘T’, the integration takes place for a time T1 = 2n *T and the output is a
ramp going downwards as shown in fig(b).
 The counter resets itself to zero at the end of interval T1 and SW1 is connected to the
reference voltage (-VR). The output voltage vo will now have a positive slope.
 As long as vo is negative, the output of the comparator is positive and the control logic allows
the clock pulse to be counted.
 When vo becomes just zero at time t = t3, the control logic issues an end of conversion (EOC)
command and no further clock pulses enter the counter. It can be shown that the reading of the
counter at t3 is proportional to the analog input voltage Va.
 In fig (b),

And
For an integrator,

 The voltage vo will be equal to V1 at the instant t2 and can be written as

……(1)
 The voltage V1 is also given by

….(2)
By comparing eq(1) &(2),we get

Substitute (t2 – t1) = 2n and (t3 – t2) = N, we get

 The following important observations can be made:

1. Since VR and ‘n’ are constant, the analog voltage Va is proportional to the count reading
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
N and is independent of R,C and T.

2. The dual-slope ADC integrates the input signal for a fixed time, hence it provides excellent
noise rejection of ac signals whose periods are integral multiples of the integration time T1.
Thus ac noise superimposed on the input signal such as 50HZ power line pick-up will be
averaged during the input integration time. So choose clock period T, so that 2nT is an
exact integral multiple of the line period (1/50)second = 20ms.

3. The main disadvantage of the dual slope ADC is the long conversion time. For instance, if
2n – T = 1/50 is used to reject line pick-up, the conversion time will be 20ms.
Applications:

 Dual slope converters are particularly suitable for accurate measurement of slowly varying
signals such as thermocouples and weighing scales.

 Dual-slope ADC’s also form the basis of digital panel meters & multimeters.

3.6 DAC/ADC SPECIFICATIONS

 D/A & A/D converters are available with wide range of specifications specified by
manufacturer. Some of the important specifications are Resolution, Accuracy, ANALOGity,
monotonicity, settling time and stability.

1) Resolution

 Resolution of a converter is defined as the smallest change in voltage which may be produced
at the output (or input) of the converter. Simply, resolution is the value of LSB.

Ex: An 8-bit D/A converter has 28-1=255equal intervals. Hence the smallest change in output
voltage is (1/255) of the full scale output range.

Resolution (in volts) = VFS/2n-1 = 1 LSB increment

Example: Resolution for an 8 – bit DAC for example is said to have : 8 – bit resolution
: A resolution of 0.392 of full-Scale (1/255)
: A resolution of 1 part in 255.
Thus resolution can be defined in many different ways.

 Resolution of an A/D converter is defined as the smallest change in analog input for a one bit
change at the output.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
Ex: Input range of an 8-bit A/D converter is divided into 255 intervals. So the resolution for a 10V
input range is 39.22mV (=10V/255).

 The following table shows the resolution for 6 to 16 bit DACs

2) ANALOGity

 The ANALOGity of an A/D (or) D/A converter is an important measure of its accuracy and
tell us how close the converter output is to its ideal transfer characteristics.

 In an ideal DAC, equal increment in the digital input should produce equal increment in the
analog output and the transfer curve should be ANALOG.

 In an actual DAC, output voltage does not fall on a straight line because of gain and offset
errors.

 The ANALOGity error measures the derivation of the actual output from the fitted line and is
given by ε/∆.

 The error is usually expressed as a fraction of LSB increment (or) percentage of full-scale
voltage.

 A good converter exhibits a ANALOGity error of less than ±(1/2)LSB.

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS

3) Accuracy

 Absolute accuracy is the maximum deviation between the actual converter output and the
ideal converter output.
 Relative accuracy is the maximum deviation after gain and offset errors have been removed.
 The accuracy of a converter is also specified in terms of LSB increments (or) percentage of
full scale voltage.
4) Monotonicity

 A monotonic DAC is the one whose analog output increases for an increase in digital input.
 From fig. it represents the transfer curve for a non-monotonic DAC, since the output decreases
when input code changes from 001 to 010.
 A monotonic characteristic is essential in control applications, otherwise oscillations can
result.
 In successive approximation ADCs, a non-monotonic characteristic may lead to missing
codes.
 If a DAC has to be monotonic, the error should be less than ±(1/2)LSB at each output level.
 All the commercially available DACs are monotonic because the ANALOGity error never exceeds
±(1/2)LSB at each output level.

5) Settling time
 The most important dynamic parameter is the settling time.
 Settling time is the time it takes for the output to settle within a specified band ±(1/2)LSB of
its final value following a code change at the input (usually a full scale change).
 It depends upon the switching time of the logic circuitry due to internal parasitic capacitances
and inductances.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATIONS
 Settling time ranges from 100ns to 10µs depending on word length and type of circuit used.
6) Stability
 The performance of converter changes with temperature, age and power supply variations.
 So, all the parameters such as offset, gain, ANALOGity error and monotonicity must be
specified over the full temperature and power supply ranges.

PROBLEMS
1. A 12-bit D to A converter has a full-scale range of 15 volts. Its maximum differential
ANALOGity error is ± 1/2 LSB.
i. What is the percentage resolution?
ii. What are the minimum and maximum possible values of the increment in
its output voltage?
Sol: Given, n=12
VFS=15v

(ii) Min and Max values of output voltage

���
MSB =

= 15/2 = 7.5v

LSB = VFS/2n = 15/212 = 3.66mV

2. Calculate the number of bits required to represent a full scale voltage of 10V with a resolution
of 5mV approximately.
Sol:

5mV = 10 / (2n – 1)
2n – 1 = 10/ 5mV => 2n – 1 = 2000
=> 2n = 2001

 Speed power product
 Fan out and loading
 Handling unused gate inputs
 Noise immunity and noise margin
Switching Speed (propagation delay time)
 Switching speed is measured in terms of the propagation delay time.
 The low speed and high speed refers to propagation delay time.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATION
 The shorter the propagation delay, higher the speed of the circuit and higher the frequency at
which it can operate.
 Propagation delay tP of a logic gate is defined as the time interval between the transition of
an input pulse and the occurrence of the transition of the output pulse as shown in figure 4.2.

Figure 4.2 Propagation Delay

 Two different measurements of propagation delay time are:
 TPHL : the time between a specified reference point on the input pulse and a
corresponding reference point on the resulting o/p pulse,with the o/p changing from
the HIGH level to the LOW level (HL)
 TPLH : the time between a specified reference point on the input pulse and a
corresponding reference point on the resulting o/p pulse,with the o/p changing from
the LOW level to the HIGH level (LH)
Power Dissipation/consumption
 The power dissipation , PD of a logic gate is the product of the dc supply voltage and the
average supply current. ∴ PD = V x I
 The average supply current is determined based on 50% duty cycle so the average power
dissipation of a logic gate is,
����+ ����
PD = ��� [ 2
]

Where ICCH is the supply current for low o/p state

ICCL is the supply current for high o/p state

 CMOS gates have low power dissipations compared to the bipolar family.
 Power dissipation of CMOS depends on frequency of operation.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATION
 Power dissipation of Bipolar is independent of frequency.
Static and dynamic power dissipation (CMOS circuits)
 The power consumption/dissipation of a CMOS circuit whose output is not changing is called
static power dissipation or quiescent power dissipation.
 A CMOS circuit consumes significant power only during transitions is called dynamic power
dissipation
 The amount of power consumed for o/p transitions is expressed as

PT = �푃��2���

PT is internal power dissipation due to o/p transitions.

VCC is power supply voltage and P.D across RL is directly proportional to square of �2��

F is the transition frequency of o/p signal

CPD is the power dissipation capacitance

 A second source of CMOS power consumption is the capacitive load on the O/P
 If there are transitions per second the total power dissipated due to the capacitive load is

PL = ���2�� �

CL is the capacitive load

VCC is the supply voltage

 The total dynamic power dissipation of a CMOS circuit is sum of PT and PL

PD = PT + PL

PD = (CPD + CL) �2��ͼ = C�2ͼ where C = CPD + CL

 The dynamic power dissipation is often called C�2� power.
DC supply voltage (VCC)
 The DC supply voltage for CMOS logic is either 5 V,3.3V,2.5V or 1.8V.
 The DC supply coltgae for bipolar logic is 5 V. minimum of 4.5 V and max of 5.5 V
Input and output logic levels
 CMOS logic levels: 4 different logic specifications :VIL,VIH,VOL,VOH as shown in figure 4.3

Noise immunity and noise margin
 Noise immunity is defined as the ability to tolerate a certain amount of unwanted voltage
fluctuation on its inputs without changing its output state.
 Noise margin is the measure of circuit’s noise immunity which is expressed in volts.
 Two levels of noise margins as shown in figure 4.5
 HIGH LEVEL NOISE MARGIN (VNH)
 LOW LEVEL NOISE MARGIN (VNL)
∴ �푁� = ���(푀�푁) − ���(푀�푁) , �푁� = ���(푀� ) − ���(푀� )

Figure 4.5 Noise margin

Speed power product (SPP)
 Speed power product can be used as a measure of the performance of a logic circuit taking
into account the propagation delay time and the power dissipation.
 The SPP of a logic circuit is the product of the propagation delay time and the power
dissipation and is expressed in joules which is the unit of energy.

SPP =tPPD
Fan out and loading
 The fan out of a logic gate is the maximum no of inputs of the same series in a IC family that
can be connected to a gates output and still maintain the output logic levels within specified
limits.
 Fan out is specified in terms of unit loads.
 Loading is of two types, CMOS loading and TTL loading
CMOS loading
 CMOS logic presents a predominantly capacitive load to the driving gate as shown in figure
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATION
4.6.
 When the o/p of the driving gate is HIGH,the i/p capacitance of the load gate is charging.
 When the o/p of the driving gate is LOW,the i/p capacitance is discharging.

Figure 4.6 CMOS loading

TTL loading
 A TTL driving gate sources current to a load gate input in the HIGH state (IIH) and sink
current from the load gate in the low state (IIL)
 Current sinking and current sourcing are illustrated in simplified form below in figure 4.7
where the resistors represent the internal i/p and o/p resistance of the gate for the two
conditions.

Figure 4.7 TTL loading

Handling unused gate inputs
 Unused gate inputs for bipolar (TTL) and CMOS should be connected to the appropriate logic
level (HIGH or LOW) as shown in figure 4.8
 AND/NAND gate unused i/p’s connected to +VCC

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATION

Figure 4.20 transmission gate

Operation CMOS transmission gate
 A transmission gate is operated so that its input signal A(EN) and A’(EN-L) are always at
opposite levels.
 When EN is HIGH and EN-L is LOW,there is a low impedance connection between points
OUT & IN
 When EN is LOW and EN-L is HIGH, points OUT& IN are disconnected
 Once a transmission gate is enabled,the propagation delay from OUT to IN or viceversa is
very short
Advantage
 Because of their short delays and conceptual simplicity, transmission gates are often used in
larger scale CMOS devices such as multiplexers and flipflops.
Applications
 Multiplexer and flipflops
Ex: two input multiplexer using CMOS transmission gates

 Figure 4.21 shows two input multiplexer using CMOS transmission gates

Figure 4.21 two input multiplexer using CMOS transmission gates

Operation
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC

 When S is LOW,the above transmission gate with input ‘X’ is enabled.

∴ Input ‘X’ is connected to the Z output

 When S is HIGH,the below transmission gate with input ‘Y’ is enabled.
 ∴ Input ‘Y’ is connected to the Z output.

4.4.9 Interfacing
 Interfacing means converting the outputs of one circuit or system to the inputs of another
circuit or system with different electrical characteristics.
TTL driving CMOS
 The MOS & CMOS gates are slower than TTL gates but consume less space. Hence there is
an advantage in using TTL & MOS drives in combination.
 The input current values of CMOS are extremely low compared with the output current
capabilities of any TTL series.
 Thus TTL has no problem in meeting the CMOS input current requirements. So a level
translator is used to raise the level of the output of the TTL gate to an acceptable level for
CMOS. In this the TTL output is connected to +5 V source with a pull up resistor.
 The presence of pull up resistor will cause the TTL output to rise to approximately +5 V in
the high state, thereby providing an adequate CMOS input.

 If the TTL has to drive a high voltage CMOS,the pull-up resistor cannot be used to raise the
level of the TTL output to the level of CMOS input, since the TTL is sensitive to voltage
levels in such a case, an open collector buffer can be used to interface TTL to a high voltage
CMOS. Figure 4.22 showsTTL driving CMOS

Figure 4.22 TTL driving CMOS

ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATION

CMOS driving TTL

 The CMOS output can supply enough voltage and current to satisfy the TTL input
requirements in the high state. Hence no special considerations are required for the high state.
 But the TTL input current requirements at low state cannot be met directly.
 An interface circuit with a low input current requirement and a sufficiently high output
current rating is required.
 When a high voltage CMOS has to drive TTL gate, a voltage level translator that converts
the high voltage input to a +5V output is used between CMOS&TTL.

 Figure 4.23 shows the CMOS driving TTL

and when a parity error occurs,the Ʃodd output goes LOW and the Ʃeven output goes HIGH

PARITY GENERATOR

 If parity generator is used as an even parity generator,the parity bit is taken at the Ʃodd output

because this output is a 0 if there is an even number of input bits and it is a 1 if there is an odd
number

 When it is used as an odd parit generator,the parity bit is taken at the Ʃeven output because it

is a 0 when the number of input bits is odd.

5.7 MEMORIES
 Memories are made up of registers.
 Each register in the memory is one storage location also called memory location.
 Each memory location is identified by an address
 The total no of bits that a memory can store is its capacity
 The capacity is specified in temrs of bytes (group of eight bits)
 The byte can split into two 4 bit units called as nibbles
 Byte can also be grouped into words
 Each register consists of storage elements,each of which stores one bit of data. A storage
element is called cell.
 The data stored in a memory by a process called writing and are retirved from the memory by
a process called reading.
 Figure shows how the read and write operation is performed in memory cell

Figure read and write operation

 16 bit word contains 2 bytes
 32 bit word contains 4 bytes

 Non volatile memories can hold data even if power is turned off
 Volatile memories which can hold data as long as power is ON are called Static
RAMs(SRAMs)
 Dynamic RAMs(DRAM) stores the data as a charge on the capacitor and they need refreshing
of charge on the capacitor after every few milliseconds to hold the data even if power is OFF
 Read/write memories are those memories which allows both read and write operations
 EPROM & EEPROM are erasable memories in which the stored data can be erased and new
data can be stored
Comparision between sequential and random access memories

 Comparison between sequential and random access memories is shown in table

SEQUENTIAL ACCESS MEMORIES RANDOM ACCESS MEMORIES
 Uses sequential access method  Uses random access method

 Memroy is organized into units of  Each storage location in the memory has
data,called records.Records are accessed an unique address and it can be accessed
sequentially.If cuurent record is ‘1’,then independently of the other locations
in order to read record N,it is necessary
to raed 1 through N-1 records

5.7.1 ROM ARCHITECTURE

 ROM consists of transitor ‘T’ & switch ‘P’
 Figure shows the ROM architecture

Figure ROM architecture

 The transitor ‘T’ is driven by the word line
 The contents of cell is read if the transitor is connected to GND through switch ‘P’
 The bit line isa connected through a resistor to the power supply.
 Data is stored into the ROM when it is manufactured
 There are 4 types of ROM : Masked ROM,EPROM,EEPROM.
PROM (PROGRAMMBLE READ ONLY MEMORY)
 PROMs are programmed by user
 PROMs are one time programmable. once programmed, the information store is permanent
Single fused PROM cell
 When the fuse is intact, the memory cell is configured as logic ‘1’ & switch is ‘0’
 When the fuse is blown ,the memory cell is configured as logic ‘0’ & switch is ‘1’
 Single fused PROM cell is shown in figure
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATION

Figure single fused PROM

 The fuse uses material like nichrome and polycrystalline
 For blowing of fuses according to the trith table is called programming of ROM
 The user can program PROM with special PROM programmer
 The PROM programmer selectively burns the fuses according to the bit pattern to be stored.
This process is also known as burning of PROM
 Figure shows four byte PROM (4x8 -32 fuses with diodes)

Figure four byte PROM (4x8 -32 fuses with diodes)

Mask PROM (mask programmable READ ONLY memory)
 MPROM are programmed by manufacturer
 In MPROM the user specifies the data to be stored to the manufacture of the memory.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL IC
APPLICATION
 The data pattern specified by the user are programmed as a part of the fabrication process.
 Once programmed the data pattern cannot be changed.This MROM are generally referred as
ROM
EPROM
 EPROM use MOS. They store 1’s and 0’s as a packet of charge in a buried layer of the IC
chip
 EPROM can be programmed by the user with a special EPROM programmer
 We can erase the stored data in EPROM by exposing the chip to ultraviolet light through its
quartz window for 15 to 20 minutes.
 The chip can be reprogrammed
 This memory is ideally suitable for product development, experimental projects since this
chip can be used many times
EPROM programming
 When erased each cell in EPROM contains 1.Data is introduced by selectively programming
0’s into the desired bit locations.
 During programming address and data are applied to address and data pins of the
EPOM,when the address and data are stable, program pulse is applied to the program i/p of
the EPROM
 The program pulse duration is around 50ms and its amplitude depends on EPROM IC. It is
typically 5.5.v to 25v
 In EPROM it is possible to program any location at any time either individually ,sequentially
or at random
EEPROM
 EEPROM also use MOS circuitry
 EEPROM allows selective erasing at the register level rather than erasing all the information,
since the information can be changed by using electrical signals
 The EEPROM memory also has a special chip erase made by which entire chip can be erased
in 10ms.This time is small as compared to time required to erase EPROM
 EEPROMs are expensive.

 The storage part of the cell is modeled by an SR latch with associated gates to form a D latch.
SRAM using SR latch ,D latch is shown in figure

Figure SRAM using D latch

 The binary cell is capable of storing one bit in its internal latch
 The selct i/p enables the cell for reading and writing and the read/write i/p determines the
operation of the cell when it is selected
 When 푅 퐸 퐴 /푊 푅 퐼푇 퐸 input is logic 1,read operation is performed otherwise write
operation is performed.
5.7.4.2 DRAM
 DRAM stored the data as a charge on the capacitor
