2. What is an Op-Amp?
An Operational Amplifier (known as an “Op-Amp”) is a
device that is used to amplify a signal using an external
power source.
Op-Amps are generally composed of:
Transistors, Resistors, Capacitors
= + +
3. Ideal Operational Amplifier
Ideal op-amp is characterized by:
1. Infinite open loop gain;A
2. Zero output ohms; R 0
i
o
3. Infinite input ohms; R
4. Zero output voltage when input is voltage is zero.
5. Infinite CMRR.

8. Open Loop Configuration
There are three open loop configuration of op-amp.
They are :
i. Differential Amplifier
ii. Inverting Amplifier
iii. Non-inverting Amplifier
9. Differential Amplifier
A difference amplifier is a device that amplifies the
difference between two inputs but rejects any signals
common to the two inputs.
Fig: The differential amplifier
10. Inverting amplifier
In the inverting amplifier only one input is applied and that
is to the inverting input terminal.
Fig: The inverting amplifier
11. Non-inverting Amplifier
In this configuration, the input is applied to the non-inverting
input terminals, and the inverting terminal is connected with
ground.
It provides a positive voltage gain.

amplifier
12. Summing Amplifier
The circuit shows a three-input summing amplifier circuit
which provided a means of algebraically summing three
voltages. Each multiplied by a constant gain factor.
