OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS
Usually Called Op Amps It is an electronic unit that behaves like a voltage controlled voltage source (VCVS) (i.e. dependent voltage source that depends on other voltage). It is an active circuit element designed to perform mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, differentiation and integration. An amplifier is a device that accepts a varying input signal and produces a similar output signal with a larger amplitude. Usually connected so part of the output is fed back to the input. (Feedback Loop) is a very high gain differential amplifier with high input impedance and low output impedance. Typical uses of the operational amplifier are to provide Voltage amplitude changes (amplitude and polarity), Oscillators, Filter circuits, and many types of instrumentation circuits. An op-amp contains a number of differential amplifier stages to achieve a very high voltage gain.

Fortunately, we do not have to sweat a circuit with 22 transistors and twelve resistors in order to use the op amp The circuit in the previous slide is usually encapsulated into a dual in-line pack (DIP). For a single LM741, the pin connections for the chip are shown below.
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS
In most cases only the two inputs and the output are shown for the op amp. However, one should keep in mind that supply voltage is required, and a ground. The basic op am without a ground is shown below.
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS
As an active element, op amp must be powered by a voltage supply.
by KCL, io = i 1 + i2 + i + + i-
Although the power supplies are often ignored in circuit diagram (for simplicity), the power supply currents must not be overlooked.

Op amp can be connected in a large number of circuits to provide various operating characteristics. In this section, we cover a few more common of these circuit connections. These Op-amp circuits are commonly used:
Inverting Amplifier Non-inverting Amplifier Unity Follower Summing Amplifier Difference Amplifier Integrator Differentiator
But v1 = v2 = 0 for an ideal op amp, since the non-inverting terminal is grounded. Hence,
vo=1.2 V, i=10 A.
