Chopper Amplifiers: Applications and Benefits
undefined
Chopper amplifier
A chopper amplifier is
an electric circuit that
implements a modulation methodology
to
minimize both the low-frequency noise
signals and DC offset conditions in the op-
amp.
A chopper stabilized amplifier is an electronic
circuit that employs a
modulation technique
to reduce or eliminate dc offset and low-
frequency noise in
op amps.
The chopping amplifier utilizes switches to
chop or modulate the input signal.
The DC signal is fed to the first block of the circuit and it
transforms it as AC signal. Then in the next block,
amplification of the chopped AC signal is done and finally
in the demodulator section AC signal is transformed to DC
signal.
There are wide applications of chopper amplifiers and few of
those are as follows:
These devices are utilized as
battery
chargers
Used in battery controlled electric cars
Implemented in railway tractions
Can be used for DC voltage amplification purposes
In brushless DC torque motors, chopper amplifiers are used
as drivers and as stepper motors in the actuator devices
Also regulates the speed in DC
motors
Operated as variable frequency drivers and class D type of
electronic amplifiers
Converted capacitor filters
Used in the applications where a minimal range of voltages
are necessary.
The
amplifier circuit samples the
analog signal
.
So it is known as chopper
amplifier. The chopper converts
DC or low-frequency signal to
high-frequency signal.
An AC amplifier amplifies the
modulated high-frequency signal.
The most important advantage of this
approach, as compared to the conventional
chopper, consists in the
cancellation of the
amplifier input offset, low-frequency input
noise components, and residual offsets due
to input switching spikes
, without requiring
any low-pass filtering.
A chopper amplifier is an electronic circuit methodology used to minimize signals, DC offsets, noise, and low-frequency circuit conditions in operational amplifiers. Chopper stabilized amplifiers employ modulation to reduce noise, while chopper amplifiers find applications in battery chargers, electric cars, railway tractions, DC voltage amplification, and more. Their analog design helps in converting DC or low-frequency signals to high-frequency for amplification, offering advantages such as noise cancellation and improved filtering capabilities.
