Exercise  2.12  
(a) Show   that   if   the   following   op   amp   has   a   finite   open-­‐loop   gain   A,   then   the   closed-­‐loop  
gain  is  given  by  the  equation  on  the  previous  page.  
(b) For  R1  =  1  kΩ  and  R2  =  9  kΩ  find  the  percentage  deviation  ε  of  the  closed-­‐loop  gain  from  
the   ideal   value   of   (1+R2/R1)   for   the   cases   A   =   103,   104,   and   105.   For   vI   =   1   V,   find   in   each  
case  the  voltage  between  the  two  input  terminals  of  the  op  amp.

Examples  
1) A   truck   weighing   station   employs   an   electronic   pressure   meter   whose   output   is  
amplified  by  non-­‐inverting  amplifier.  If  the  pressure  meter  generates  20  mV  for  every  
100  kg  of  load,  what  are  the  accuracies  of  the  weighing  station  with  op-­‐amp  offset  of  2  
mV?  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2) An  op  amp  wired  in  the  inverting  configuration  with  the  input  grounded,  having  R2  =  
100   kΩ   and   R1   =   1   kΩ,   has   an   output   dc   voltage   of   -­‐0.4   V.   If   the   input   bias   current   is  
known  to  be  very  small,  find  the  offset  voltage.
