some BJT dependencies -- the simualation vs. the d/s

the ß by Ic (has a very poor matching)

the saturation region of the collector (has a better matching)

junction capacitance (a realistic matching)

Pos. fbk. Op. Amp. - (spice) noise


about LM324 , uA741 , TL071 , LM308 :









  compared to conventional biasing schemes : 


the pos.-fbk scheme has more poor noise and frequency characteristics but it enables to use the feedback shoulder to excite a crystal or reduce the input current . . .

another inductance meter concept

a dummy sine generator :


Op Amp version :

the x = Δf( L( f ) ) = – 2 · Δf / ( (2π) ²­ · C · f ³ )

where Δf = f(40uH) - f(42uH)

the  y = ΔL( f ) = L(42µH) – L(40µH)

and the best match for the ΔL is a non-std. average E( x , y ) = 2 · x · y / ( x + y )

How tomeasure the inductance with a resistor , a coil and a square wave source


about
PS! note : the VLMAX and the IA are the max. V and I peak-values developing in the circuit at the run time
+ in the above simulation the formula does NOT account the internal resistance of the voltage source (which it should !!! (for the more accurate result))

CMOS Op Amp - simplified models

 arctan()/(π/2) versus tanh() ::

PS! :: this model was created for the fast retrieving of the effect and the response of the particular P-MOS input stage ... the output starts behaving weird near the rails !!!

which means the model cannot be used for conventional simulation purposes !!!



! Update ::

 the (simplified-inexact MCP601) model for conventional use (compared against the Ti-s LMV831) ::


? interestingly the Ti's model has a suspicious behaviour on the input exceeding the supply rails ???


? the P-Spice model of the LMV831 accounts the common mode range ending some 1V below the upper rail so it likely suits better the simulation that needs to take into account that limitation . . . my simplified MCP601 model is brought below ::
