    Circuit Op-amp
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating g(x), which represents current versus resistance in an op-amp circuit. Participants express confusion over the circuit's design and the equations provided, questioning the necessity of duplicate circuit blocks and the clarity of the original poster's intentions. It is noted that the circuit may not produce the desired non-linear behavior needed for g(x) and that adjustments are necessary to achieve predictable oscillations. Suggestions include constructing a one op-amp negative resistance and testing its frequency response to refine the circuit's performance. The importance of understanding voltage limits in op-amps is emphasized as crucial for accurate function.

So this is the circuit(with equations which were written by me, so I don’t know if they’re correct)

and this is the graph I should get, but I don’t know how.( g(x) is the current vs resistance)

I assume that those two equations collide somehow and I get that g(x), but I’m not sure.
So my question is: how do I get that g(x) with that circuit?
thanks

How are you setting the voltage ø in your circuit? I see a black line at the top of your diagram -- is that where you are putting in the input voltage ø?

And in your plot, what is x?
 
Yes.Input voltage is that sign.X is resistance.Oh and I forgot to mention R1=R2 and R4=R5
 
I'm sorry, but I'm having a really hard time tracking your post and whatever questions you have. Much of what you have posted is nonsense, IMO.

"X is resistance" -- *What* resistance? What are you trying to do with this circuit?

And your simplifications for I1 and I4 look wrong to me. Can you post your math in those derivations? But *only* after you clarify what you are trying to do with this circuit please.
 
I'm trying to put this circuit in parallel with two capacitors and the inductor so it should work like a negative resistance but with function like that

Still makes no sense to me. Please post your full circuit diagram with your circuit analysis...

It is not clear to me why the circuit needs two identical blocks. Either one alone seems to be all that is needed. Do you know why it is constructed in duplicate?

You don't get that g(x). What you obtain with your circuit is a straight line without the bends in it. This means that, while your circuit is capable of oscillating when connected to an LC circuit, you have no control over the amplitude of the oscillations. You will have to build in some non-linearity if you want the oscillations to be predictable and sinusoidal. The g(x) in your figure shows such a non-linearity.

I suggest that you construct a one OP-AMP negative resistance, add a resistor in series with it so that overall it has a positive resistance, then run some tests to see how good its frequency response is, producing a plot of resistance vs. frequency.

i'll use e instead of phi.

it's a safe bet
e = e1 X R3/(R2+R3) = e2 X R6/(R5+R6)

and algebra should take you to I1 and I4

I've solved this.It turns out that g(x) ''breaks'' that way because of the fact that output voltage on the op-amp can't exceed supply voltage so the whole function changes.We need two op-amps in parallel so when whenever one of the output voltages reach their limits whole function doesn't become flat.Thanks anyways and sorry for not supplying enough details for it to make sense.

glad you got it solved.

Indeed, the other safe bet is e1 and e2 won't exceed Vsupply.

Everybody learns that one the hard way.
