ECEN3714    Exam #2    6 April 2006      

1) The circuit shown contains an ideal Op Amp (Zin = infinity, H(ω) = constant, |Iout_max| = infinity).
1a) [5] Compute the voltage gain of the circuit at ω = 0.  [Answer: H(0) = 5]
1b) [5] Compute the voltage gain of the circuit as ω approaches infinity.  [H(infinity) = -0.2]
1c) [15] If vin(t) = 10sin0.2t, what is the steady state vout(t)?  [5.358sin(0.2t + 117.5 degrees)]

2) The circuit shown contains an non-ideal Op Amp (Zin = infinity, H(ω) = constant, |Iout_max| = ?? amp).
2a) [15] If a unit step voltage is input, compute vout(t) assuming the op amp can provide a sufficient amount of current.  [vout(t) = -5u(t) + 4.8e-t/50]
2b) [10] After the transient has subsided, how much current must the op amp be capable of sourcing (or sinking) in order to generate the output calculated in part 2a?  [Must be able to sink 1 amp.]

Mini Design Project
3a) [15] Design a passive band reject filter with a 3dB reject bandwidth of 5 Hz that will completely eliminate any 60 Hz interference, i.e. want H(f = 60 Hz) = 0.  [From chapter 14.5, one option is a series RLC circuit with R = 10 K ohms, L = 318.3 H, and C = 22.10 nF.  The input voltage would be dropped across all three elements, and the output voltage dropped across the resistor and capacitor.]
3b) [10] Practically speaking, would you be able to physically build a passive circuit that would meet the specs above?  Explain.  [Probably not with the values chosen.  Would require a hard to find inductor.  However, the values could be adjusted to more commonly found sizes, such as R = 10 ohms, L = 318.3 mH, and C = 22.1 microF.  Might be difficult to get precisely the correct values needed.  However a tunable capacitor and resistor might be found such that a circuit very close to the desired value might be constructed.]

4) The switch has been in the position shown for a long time.  At time t = 0, the switch is connected to ground.
[25] Find i(t). [-5e-0.1t amps]
