Question:

A particular pressure sensor is designed to operate under constant pressure. The task is to detect a pressure increase and sound an alarm. The sensor produces \(1 \mathrm{mV}\) at \(100 \mathrm{psi}\), its usual operating pressure, and increases by \(1 \mu \mathrm{V} / \mathrm{psi}\). The design must sound an alarm if the pressure reaches \(150 \mathrm{psi}\). The transducer is modeled as a voltage source with a series resistor that varies with pressure from \(50 \Omega\) at \(100 \mathrm{psi}\) to \(150 \Omega\) at \(150 \mathrm{psi}\). Two types of OP AMPs are available. Type 1 are single-sided, meaning they have \(\mathrm{a}+V_{\mathrm{CC}}\) of \(5 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(\mathrm{a}-V_{\mathrm{CC}}\) of o \(\mathrm{V}\). Type \(2 \mathrm{OP}\) AMPs are double-sided with a \(V_{\mathrm{CC}}\) of \(\pm 15 \mathrm{~V}\) and have a maximum closed-loop gain of 5000 . The alarm can be driven with the \(+5-\mathrm{V}\) available from a saturated type 1 OP AMP. Only \(\pm 15^{-} \mathrm{V}\) and \(+5-\mathrm{V}\) sources are available. Design the alarm circuit.
