DIFFERTIATOR

A circuit which produced the differentiation of


input at its output is called as differentiator
There are two types of differentiator
Ideal differentiator
Practical differentiator
Ideal differentiator
The active differentiator circuit can be obtained by
exchanging the position of resistor R and capacitor C in the
basic active integrator circuit.
The op-amp differentiator circuit as shown in fig

This indicates that output is directly proportional to the C 1Rf
times the differentiation of the input and product C 1Rf is called
as time constant differentiator.

Disadvantages of an Ideal
Differentiator
The gain of differentiator increases as the frequency
increases. Thus at some high frequency the differentiator
may become unstable and break into the oscillation.
There is possibility that of op-amp may go into the
saturation
Also the input impedance decreases as the frequency
increases. This make the circuit very much sensitive to
the noise. Thus when such noise gets amplified due to
high gain at high frequency, noise may completely
override the differentiated output.
Hence the differentiator circuit suffers from the
limitations on its stability and noise problems, at high
frequencies. These problems can be corrected using some
additional parameters in the basic differentiator circuit.
Such a differentiator circuit is called as practical
differentiator circuit.

Practical differentiator
The noise and stability at high frequency can be
corrected, in the practical differentiator circuit using the
resistance R1 in series with C1 and the capacitor Cr in parallel
with resistance Rf .
The circuit is shown in the figure. The resistance R comp
is used for bias compensation.
