Designing different amplifiers with known gain

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on designing three types of amplifiers: a noninverting amplifier with a gain (G) of 200, an inverting amplifier with a gain of -50, and a summing amplifier defined by the equation V(out) = -50V(in1) - 3V(in2) - 15(Vin3). The maximum output current (i(outmax)) is specified as 2mA. The user has successfully derived the relationship G = i(out)R(2) for the noninverting amplifier but is seeking guidance on how to relate input voltage (Vin) to output voltage (Vout) and how to approach the other two amplifier designs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of operational amplifier (op-amp) configurations
  • Familiarity with gain calculations for amplifiers
  • Knowledge of Ohm's Law and basic circuit analysis
  • Ability to manipulate equations involving resistors and current
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of gain formulas for noninverting and inverting amplifiers
  • Learn about the design and analysis of summing amplifiers
  • Explore the basic properties of op-amps, particularly regarding input current and voltage difference
  • Review practical applications of op-amps in circuit design
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, circuit designers, and hobbyists interested in amplifier design and operational amplifier applications.

Homework Statement


I am designing three amplifiers:
1. is an noninverting amplifier with G=200
2. is an inverting amplifier with G=-50
3. is a summing amplifier with V(out)--50V(in1)-3V(in2)-15(Vin3)

all problems i(outmax)=2mA

So far the only problem I have figured anything about is the noninverting amplifier. I still cannot seem to find a way to relate Vin and Vout with what I know. I got as far as finding G=i(out)R(2)
Where do I go from here?


Homework Equations


1. i(out)=i(2)=V(out)/(R(1)+R(2))


The Attempt at a Solution



The second two problems I don't know where to start with them.

What are the two basic properties of opamps that you use to figure out the gain of different configurations? One property has to do with the current that flows into the + and - terminals, and the other property has to do with the voltage difference between the + and - input when the opamp has negative feedback connected...
