I used these capacitors to reduce the DC offset voltage.CWatters said:
The forum discussion centers on the design and simulation of a three-stage cascaded amplifier using op-amps, specifically the OP07 and TL081 models. The user initially aimed for a gain of 30 per stage with an input voltage of 1V, resulting in an unrealistic output voltage of 27,000V. Participants emphasized the importance of using appropriate power supply levels, calculating total gain based on desired input and output voltages, and implementing high-pass filter capacitors to manage DC offset. The consensus is that the design must be revised to ensure the input voltage is significantly lower, ideally around 0.1mV, to avoid saturation and achieve the desired gain.

Tq, for the work done. Cant, we use DC input voltage and get the voltage, since while doing practically we prefer DC voltage to AC voltage. Can Even we use 10mV of input to draw the gain? Give me a solution.CWatters said:Here is my version of the circuit. My version amplifies AC only. If your source V1 is DC you need a different circuit.
I have not shown the power supply.
1) Input voltage: 0.1mV AC
2) Output voltage: 2.7V AC
3)Total gain required:2.7/(0.1*10^-3)=27000
4) I am using three stages each of gain of 30

The gain of the first stage is set by R2 and R1. Stage 2 and 3 are the same.
Capacitor C1 and R3 form a "high pass" circuit. This has a "cut-off frequency" of about 160Hz. Same for C2, R6, and C3, R9. This blocks any DC offset.
If you need a different cut-off frequency you can change C1, C2, and C3.

Here is the output from the simulator. It is the frequency response for the output of stage 3 (Net1008).

The output (above the cut off frequency) is 2.9V
If the source is DC you must make these changes to my circuit.jSwathi said:Tq, for the work done. Cant, we use DC input voltage and get the voltage, since while doing practically we prefer DC voltage to AC voltage. Can Even we use 10mV of input to draw the gain? Give me a solution.
