To create a non-inverting amplifier circuit with an Operational Amplifier (op-amp) that provides a gain of 20 dB, let's start with the basic formula for gain in dB and the formula for the gain of a non-inverting amplifier.
The gain in dB is given by:
GaindB=20log10(Vout/Vin)
To convert a gain of 20 dB into a voltage gain ($V_{\text{out}} / V_{\text{in}}$), we rearrange the formula:
Vout/Vin=10GaindB/20=1020/20=10
The voltage gain ($A_V$) for a non-inverting amplifier is also given by:
AV=1+RinRf
Where:
$A_V$ is the voltage gain,
$R_f$ is the feedback resistor, and
$R_{in}$ is the resistor connected to ground.
Given that $A_V = 10$, we can choose values for $R_f$ and $R_{in}$ that satisfy the equation. A common practice is to choose standard resistor values.
Let's assume $R_{in} = 1k\Omega$ for ease of calculation. To achieve a gain of 10, the formula rearranges to:
Rf=(AV−1)⋅Rin=(10−1)⋅1kΩ=9kΩ
Circuit Connection:
Connect your op-amp's positive (non-inverting) input $V^+$ to $R_{in}$: Connect OPAMP:V+ to R_in:1.
Connect $R_{in}$:2 to GND.
Connect $R_{in}$:1 (also connected to OPAMP:V+) to $R_f$:1.
Connect $R_f$:2 to OPAMP:Vout.
Connect the op-amp's negative (inverting) input $V^-$ to $R_f$:2 (where it meets OPAMP:Vout), creating a feedback loop.
Connect the op-amp's power supply pins $V_{cc}$ and $V_{ee}$ to your circuit's power supply and ground respectively (not specified here, but this is a critical step).
Component List:
Op-Amp: 1x, any general purpose op-amp would fit, for example, LM358 or TL081, depending on your power supply and bandwidth requirements.
$R_{in}$: 1k\Omega, 1x
$R_f$: 9k\Omega, 1x
Remember to adjust the power supply voltage of the op-amp based on its specifications and your application needs.
To design this non-inverting amplifier circuit in Flux, follow these steps. This guide assumes you are familiar with the basic operations within the Flux interface.
Step 1: Start a New Project
Launch Flux and create a new project.
Name your project appropriately, for instance, "20dB Non-Inverting Amplifier."
Step 2: Add Components
You will need to add the following components to your project:
Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp): Search for a general-purpose op-amp like the LM358 or TL081 in the components library and place it in your schematic.
Resistors: You will need two resistors. One with a value of $1k\Omega$ (R_in) and another with $9k\Omega$ (R_f). Place two resistors in your schematic.
Step 3: Wiring the Circuit
Non-Inverting Input (V+):
Connect the non-inverting input of the op-amp to one end of the $1k\Omega$ resistor (Let's refer to this resistor as R1 for simplicity).
The other end of R1 should be connected to the ground (GND).
Feedback Resistor (Rf):
Connect one end of the $9k\Omega$ resistor (R2) between the output and the inverting input of the op-amp to form a feedback loop.
Inverting Input (V-):
Directly connect the inverting input of the op-amp to the junction between R2 and the op-amp's output.
Power Supply:
Don’t forget to connect the power supply pins of the op-amp ($V_{cc}$ and $V_{ee}$) to your circuit’s positive voltage and ground, respectively.
Step 4: Connect Input and Output
Input Signal: Connect your input signal to the junction between the non-inverting input of the op-amp and R1.
Output Signal: Connect your output from the op-amp's output pin.
Step 5: Verify and Save
Double-check all your connections.
Save your schematic.
Connection Summary:
Connect OPAMP:V+ to R1:1.
Connect R1:2 to GND.
Connect R2:1 to OPAMP:Vout and OPAMP:V-.
Connect OPAMP:Vcc to your positive power supply and OPAMP:Vee to GND.
Step 6: Simulation and PCB Layout
If Flux supports simulation, you may simulate your circuit to verify its operation.
Proceed to design the PCB layout after confirming the circuit works as expected in the schematic.
This guide provides a textual description of setting up a 20dB non-inverting amplifier in Flux. Adjust component values and the op-amp model based on your specific requirements and availability.
