s EO323 1 /6 SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING MODULAR HONOURS DEGREE COURSE LEVEL 3 SEMESTER 2 2004/2005 POWER ELECTRONICS & ADVANCED ANALOGUE ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY Examiners: Dr. B. Baha & Dr. S. Singh Attempt THREE questions only. Answer the question in Section A Time allowed: 2 hours Total number of questions = 4. and two questions from Section B All questions carry equal marks. The figures in brackets indicate the relative weightings of parts of a question. Special requirements: None. EO323 2 /6 Section A 1) The circuit in Figure Q1 is made up of three distinct stages linked in a feedback manner. A differential amplifier using operational amplifier A1, a voltage inverter, INV and an integrator using operational amplifier A2. The circuit is initially in a stable state with the input voltage Vin equal to zero and no voltage across the capacitor Vc. However whenever an input voltage is applied to the circuit the voltage Vd is eventually driven to zero as is Vo and the capacitor voltage Vc eventually is equal to the input voltage Vin. a) Describe and analyse the behavior of the differential amplifier stage. Show mathematically that Vo = -Vd, and that it is independent on the input voltage Vin. (12) b) Derive a relationship between the voltage Vo and the rate of change of the feedback voltage dVfb making reference to the resistor current Ir and capacitor dt voltage Vc in the explanation of your derivation. (8) c) If the input voltage Vin is a positive step input, sketch a diagram of the input voltage, the feedback voltage Vfb and the difference voltage Vd against time on a single graph plot.
