Chapter III

Operational amplifier (OP-Amp)


Introduction

 An operational amplifier is an integrated circuit that can amplify


weak electric signals.

 It has two input pins and one out put pin.

 An operational amplifier is not used alone but is designed to be


connected to other circuits to perform a great variety of operations.
Con’d

Low cost integrating circuit consisting of:


Transistors
 Resistors
 Capacitors
 Able to amplify a signal due to an external power supply.
Applications of Op-Amps

Simple Amplifiers
 Summers
 Comparators
 Integrators
 Differentiators
 Analog to Digital Converters
Circuit Symbol and Pin Identification

1 & 5 offset null


2 inverting input
3 Non-inverting input
4 -Voltage supply (VEE)
6 out put voltage
7 +Voltage supply (VCC)
Op-Amp Golden Rules

When an op-amp is configured in any negative feedback arrangement,


it will obey the following two rules:

– The inputs to the op-amp draw or source no current (true whether


negative feedback or not).

– The op-amp output will do whatever it can (within its limitations) to


make the voltage difference between the two inputs zero.

Analog to Digital Converters
An electronic integrated circuit which transforms a signal from analog
(continuous) to digital (discrete) form.
 Microprocessors can only perform complex processing on digitized
signals.
 When signals are in digital form they are less susceptible to the
deleterious effects of additive noise.
 ADC Provides a link between the analog world of transducers and the
digital world of signal processing and data handling.
 Some examples of ADC usage are digital volt meters, cell phone,
thermocouples, and digital oscilloscope.
