Signal Amplifiers
Designed to amplify input signals to a right
level to be noticeable for further uses.
Typical input signals are:
thermocouple, RTD, pressure, strain, flow, etc.

Voltage Follower
V+ = VIN.
By virtual ground, V- = V+
Thus Vout = V- = V+ = VIN !!!!
Due to the infinite input impedance of an op amp,
no current at all can be drawn from the circuit
before VIN. Thus this part is effectively isolated.
Very useful for interfacing to high impedance
sensors such as microelectrode, microphone

Example 1:
A Sensor outputs a voltage range of 20 to
250 mV. The sensor output has to feed
computer based controller that work at
voltage range of 0 to 5 V. Design the
required conditioning circuit in order to
get the demand voltage range.

Example 3:
A sensor outputs a voltage ranging -2.4 to
-1.1 V. For interface to ADC, this needs
to be 0 to 2.5 V. Develop the required
signal conditioning.
23
Example 4:
Temperature is to be measured in the range of
250oC to 450oC. The sensor resistance that
varies linearly from 280 to 1060 for the
temperature range. Power dissipated in the
sensor must be kept below 5mW. Develop
analog signal conditioning that provides a
voltage varying linearly from -5 to 5 V for the
temperature range. The load is high
