Lecture 5 Flashcards
The objective of signal conditioning is:
to prepare a transduced signal for display or acquisition.
Transduced signals need to be:
amplified and filtered
Voltage range:
microV to mV
Frequency range
0 Hz - 10000 Hz
Receives low voltage signal
Instrumentation Amplifier
Instrumentation Amplifier acts to :
increase voltage and increase resolution for A/D
Receives high voltage signal
Power drive Amplifier
Power Drive Amplifier acts to:
increase power of signal so that it can drive another instrument/device
Rule 1 of Op Amps
when the op amp is in the linear range, the two input terminals are at the same voltage
Rule 2 of Op Amps
No current flows into either input terminal of the op-amp
Equation for inverting amplifier
V0/Vi = -Rf/Ri
Equation for follower
V0/Vi = 1
Purpose of Follower:
Acts as buffer and decrease system impedance
Equation for non-inverting amplifier
V0/Vi = 1 + (Rf/Ri)
