Electronics : OpAmp
Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp)
The operational amplifier, or op amp, is a low-cost and versatile integrated circuit
consisting of many internal transistors, resistors, and capacitors manufactured into
a single chip of silicon.
OP-Amp: Components
Used As:
The OP-Amp has Single Output and Two Inputs:
Amplifiers
1. Noninverting input [+]: output is in phase with input.
Integrators
2. Inverting input [-]: output is 180 out of phase with input.
Summers
Differentiators
Comparators
A/D and D/A converters
Active filters
Sample and hold amplifiers
Ideal characteristics:
1. Very high open-loop gain: A = 100,000+,
but unpredictable
2. Very high input resistance: Rin > 1 M
3. Low output resistance: Rout = 50-75 ohm
OP-Amp: Examples: Fig. shows an op-amp with an open-loop gain of 100,000. Find the output
for the following conditions:
H.W. An inverting amp is to have a gain of 10. The signal source is a sensor with an
output impedance of 1 k. Draw a circuit diagram of the completed amplifier.
H.W. Draw the circuit diagram of a non-inverting amp with a gain of 20.

Caution:
One note of caution concerning using differentiation
in signal processing is that any electrical noise in the
input signal will be accentuated in the output. In
effect, the differentiator amplifies the fast-changing
noise. Integration, on the other hand, has a
smoothing effect, so noise is not a concern when
using an integrator.
