Introduction
The term "operational amplifier" denotes a special type of
amplifier that, by proper selection of its external components,
could be configured for a variety of operations.
First developed by John R. Ragazzine in 1947 with vacuum tube.
In 1960 at FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION, Robert
J. Widlar fabricated op amp with the help of IC fabrication
technology.
In 1968 FAIRCHILD introduces the op-amp that was to become the
industry standard.

What is OP-AMP
An operational amplifier (op-amp) is a DC-coupled high-gain
electronic voltage amplifier
Direct- coupled high gain amplifier usually consisting of one or
more differential amplifiers
Output stage is generally a push-pull or push-pull complementary-
symmetry pair.
Op amps are differential amplifiers, and their output voltage is
proportional to the difference of the two input voltages. The op
amp's schematic symbol is shown in the below figure.
Circuit symbol
The two input terminals, called the inverting and non-inverting, are
labeled with - and + respectively.

Important terms and equation
Electrical parameter:
1.Input bias current(lb): average of current that flows into the
inverting and non-inverting input terminal of op-amp.
2. I/p and O/p impedance: It is the resistance offered by the
inputs and the output terminals to varying voltages. The quantity is
expressed in Ohms.
3. Open Loop Gain: It is the overall voltage gain or the
amplification.
4. Input offset voltage: It is a voltage that must be applied
between the two terminals of an op-amp to null the o/p.
5. Input offset current (Ii): The algebraic different between the
current in to the inverting and non-inverting terminal.
Ideal OP-AMP
We know to minimize loading, a well-designed voltage amplifier
must draw negligible current from the input source and must
present negligible resistance To the output load, Op-amp are no
Vo.
exception so we define the ideal op-amp, as an ideal voltage
amplifier with infinite open loop gain.
A infinity Its ideal terminal condition are ra=infinity,ro= 0, Ix= In=0

IDEAL OP-AMP FOLLOWS THE GIVEN
PROPERTY
1. Infinite voltage gain a.
2. Infinite input resistance ri so that almost any signal source can
drive it and there is no loading of the preceding stage.
3. Zero output resistance ro so that the output can drive an infinite
number of other devices.
4. Zero output voltage when input is zero.
5. Infinite common mode rejection ratio so that the output common
mode noise voltage is zero.
6. Infinite slew rate so that output voltage changes occurs
simultaneously with input voltage changes.

CHARACTERISTICS OF IDEAL OP-AMP
Infinite input impedance (about 2Mohm)
• Low output impedance (about 200 ohm)
• Very large voltage gains at low frequency
• Thus, small changes in voltages can be amplified by using an op-
amp
• Infinite bandwidth (all frequencies are amplified by same factor
Infinite Common-mode rejection ratio
Infinite Power supply rejection ratio.

APPLICATIONS
1. A to D Converters
2. Power source
3. Zero Crossing Detector (ZCD)
A to D Converters
Digital-to-Analog converters (DACs) and Analog-to-Digital
converters (ADC) are important building blocks with interface
sensors. An ADC takes an analog signal and converts it into a
binary one, while a DAC converts a binary signal into an analog
value. Figure 1 gives a block diagram of such a system. An
example of such a system is a PC sound card.

Op-Amp as a Current Source
A current source can be made from an inverting amplifier as
shown in figure. The current in the load resistor, Ro must be equal
to the current in R₁. The current is then obtained by dividing the
input voltage by R₁.

ADVANTAGES OF AN OP-AMP: -
1.OPAM IS AN UNIVERSAL AMPLIFIER.
2.VOLTAGE COMPARATORS.
3.PRECISION RECTIFIERS.
4.ANOLOGUE TO DIGITAL CONVERTERS.
5.DIGITAL TO ANALOGUE CONVERTERS.
6. FILTERS.
9. ANALOGUE TO COMPUTERS
DISADVANTAGES OF AN OP-AMP: -
1. MOST OPAM ARE DESIGNED TO FOR LOWER POWER
OPERATION.
2. FOR HISH OUTPUT IS DESIRED THEN THE OPAM SPECIFICALLY
DESIGNED FOR THAT PURPOSE MUST BE SEEN.
3.MOST COMMERCIAL OPAM SHUTS OFF WHEN THE LOAD
RESISTANCE IS BELOW A SPECIFIC LEVEL.
