Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp)

Op-amp – A high-gain dc amplifier that has high
input impedance and low output impedance.


The inverting (–) input and noninverting (+) input are signal
inputs.
The +V and –V inputs are supply voltage inputs.
Differential Amplifier


Differential amplifier – A circuit that amplifies the
difference between two input voltages.
The op-amp signal inputs are connected to a
differential amplifier.

The circuit amplifies the difference between the voltages at
its inverting (-) and noninverting (+) inputs.
Negative Feedback

Negative feedback – A type of feedback in which the
feedback signal is 180° out of phase with the input signal.
Positive Feedback

Positive feedback – A type of feedback in which the
feedback signal is in phase with the input signal.
Inverting Amplifier Operation

The negative feedback path in the inverting amplifier:


Reduces voltage gain (from its open-loop value).
Increases bandwidth (relative to its open-loop value).
Noninverting Amplifier Operation

The negative feedback path in the noninverting amplifier:


Reduces voltage gain (from its open-loop value).
Increases bandwidth (relative to its open-loop value).
Comparators


Comparator – A circuit used to compare two
voltages.
Comparators are typically used in conjunction with
digital circuits.

A digital circuit is one designed to respond to alternating dc
voltage levels.
Comparator Operation
Level Detector

Level detector – Another name for a comparator used
to compare an input voltage to a fixed dc reference
voltage.

Application
Integrators

Integrator – A circuit whose output is proportional to
the area of the input waveform.
RC Integrator


An ideal RC integrator would produce the triangular
(ramp) waveform.
The practical RC integrator produces the exponential
waveform.
Op-Amp Integrator

The op-amp provides a constant-current source for
the capacitor, causing it to charge at a linear rate.
Differentiators

Differentiator – A circuit whose output is proportional
to the rate of change of its input signal.
Summing Amplifiers

Summing amplifier – An op-amp circuit that produces
an output proportional to the sum of its input
voltages.

General-Class Equation

General-class equation – An equation derived for a
summing amplifier that is used to predict the circuit
output for any combination of input voltages.
