An operational amplifier is an integrated circuit that can amplify weak electric signals and is used in applications such as simple amplifiers, summers, comparators, integrators, differentiators, and analog to digital converters. It has input and output pins and follows golden rules when in a negative feedback arrangement such as making the voltage difference between inputs zero.

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

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. Inverting Amplifier Non-Inverting Amplifier Summing Circuits Difference Circuit Integrating Circuit Differentiating Circuit Comparator Circuit 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.
