Objectives

1. To examine the pin configuration of 741 OP AMP.

2. To analyze the operation of inverting and non-inverting amplifiers.
3. To explore the working of voltage following amplifiers

Basic Information

An operational amplifier (OP AMP) is a linear integrated circuit that incorporates a DC

coupled, high gain differential amplifier and other circuitry that gives it specific characteristics.
The ideal OP Amp has certain unattainable specifications, but hundreds of types of OP AMPs
are available, which vary in specific ways from the ideal OP AMP. OP AMPs are used in
variety of application were they can perform mathematical operations such as summing,
integration, and differentiation. OP AMPs are also used as video and audio amplifiers,
oscillators, and so on, in communication electronics.

Because the input stage of all OP AMPs is differential amplifier, there are two inputs marked
with symbols (+) and (-). These symbols referred to the phase of the output signal compared to
the phase of input signal and should be read as inverting (-) and non-inverting (+) rather then
“plus” or “minus”. Fig. 2.1 shows the symbol for an OP AMP and pin-outs of 741 OP AMP.

2.1 Negative Feedback Control

One of the most important ideas in electronics incorporates the idea of feedback, where a
portion of the output is returned to the input. If the return signal tends to decrease the input
amplitude, it is called negative feedback. Negative feedback produces a number of desirable
quantities in an amplifier, in its stability and its frequency response. It also allows the gain to
be controlled independently of the device parameters, temperature or other variables.

OP AMPs are almost always used with external negative feedback. By itself, an OP AMP has
an extremely high voltage gain called the open-loop gain. When negative feedback is added,
the overall gain of OP AMP is then determined by the feedback circuit. This gain including the
feedback circuit is called the closed loop gain.
