The document discusses a differentiator circuit constructed using an operational amplifier, resistor, and capacitor. It explains that unlike an integrator circuit, a differentiator circuit is not affected by a DC offset in the input signal since the derivative of a constant is zero. Additionally, it notes that high frequency input signals may saturate the amplifier, so a resistor is placed in series with the capacitor in the input to address this issue. The circuit performs mathematical differentiation, producing an output voltage proportional to the rate of change of the input voltage over time.

CONCLUSION
Differentiator circuit can be constructed as shown using an operational amplifier, a
resistor, and a capacitor. Unlike an ideal integrator circuit where the slightest DC offset in the input eventually drives the output into saturation, for the differentiator we need not be concerned about a DC offset in the input since the derivative of a constant is always zero. Since the output voltage of a differentiator circuit is proportional to the input frequency, high frequency signals may saturate or cut off the amplifier. For this reason: a resistor is placed in series with the capacitor in the input. This circuit performs the mathematical operation of Differentiation, that is it "produces a voltage output which is directly proportional to the input voltage's rate-of-change with respect to time. In other words the faster or larger the change to the input voltage signal, the greater the input current, the greater will be the output voltage change in response, becoming more of a change in shape.
