Second Order Op Amp circuit: Find Vo for t > 0

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the output voltage \( V_o(t) \) for a second-order operational amplifier circuit with given parameters: \( V_{IN} = u(t) V \), \( R_1 = R_2 = 10 k\Omega \), and \( C_1 = C_2 = 100 \mu F \). The key equations derived include the KCL equations at nodes \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \), leading to the expression for \( V_o \) as \( V_o = -R_2C_2\left(\frac{V_{IN} - V_1}{R_1C_2} - \frac{C_1}{C_2}\frac{dv_1}{dt}\right) \). The next step involves setting \( V_2 \) and \( \frac{dV_2}{dt} = 0 \) to simplify the solution process.

Homework Statement



In the circuit below, determine [itex]v_o(t)[/itex] for t > 0. Let [itex]V_{IN}\,=\,u(t)\,V[/itex], [itex]R_!\,=\,R_2\,=\,10\,k\Omega[/itex], [itex]C_1\,=\,C_2\,=\,100\,\muF[/itex].

Homework Equations



[tex]i_c\,=\,C\,\frac{dv_c}{dt}[/tex]



The Attempt at a Solution




Add some node voltages:

KCL @ [itex]V_1[/itex]:

[tex]\frac{V_{IN}\,-\,V_1}{R_1}\,=\,C_2\,\frac{dv_2}{dt}\,+\,C_1\,\frac{dv_1}{dt}[/tex]

KCL @ [itex]V_2[/itex]:

[tex]C_2\,\frac{dv_2}{dt}\,=\,\frac{V_2\,-\,V_o}{R_2}[/tex]

Substituting for [itex]\frac{dv_2}{dt}[/itex] in the KCL @ [itex]V_1[/itex] equation:

[tex]V_o\,=\,-R_2C_2\left(\frac{V_{IN}\,-\,V_1}{R_1C_2}\,-\,\frac{C_1}{C_2}\,\frac{dv_1}{dt}\right)[/tex]

Now what do I do to solve?

Set V2 and dV2/dt = 0. Does that help?
