An Op-Amp Differentiator

Consider the op-amp differentiator in Example 6.9. Assume that the parameter values are R=1 M \Omega and C=1  \mu \mathrm{F}. Build a Simscape model of the op-amp circuit and find the output voltage v_{o}(t) when the input voltage is v_{\mathrm{i}}=-0.1 \mathrm{~V}.

The Simscape block diagram of the op-amp differentiator is shown in Figure 6.65, in which a Clock block and a Gain block are used to generate the input voltage v_{\mathrm{i}}=-0.1 \mathrm{t} \mathrm{V}. The Simulink input signal is converted into an equivalent voltage source using a Controlled Voltage Source block. According to the result in Example 6.9, the output voltage v_{o} is proportional to the time derivative of the input voltage v_{\mathrm{i}} via v_{\mathrm{o}}=-R C \dot{v}_{\mathrm{i}}. Substitute the parameter values, and a constant value of 0.1 is expected to be the output voltage. The problem of building a Simulink block diagram based on the differential equation is left to the reader as an exercise.
