Operational Amplifiers: Types of Operational Amplifiers (Bioelectric Amplifiers Have Different Gain Values)
Behavior of op-amps
• Output voltage can be in range from negative to positive supply voltage
- Rail-to-rail ops allow widest voltage range (nearly up to supply voltage)
- Normal op-amps have lower output voltage range
• The (-) input produce an output signal that is 180º out of phase with the
input signal
• The (+) input produce an output signal that is in phase with the input signal
• No offset voltage
• Summing amplifier
• Differential amplifier
•
Inverting amplifier or follower
• Rcm (is parallel with R1) causes small errors, as it is usually > 1000MΩ
• Through Ccm (< 5pF) higher gain errors will be produced in higher
frequencies (Rc=1/jωc)
-Example: at 1 Mhz Ccm reactance is at 32kΩ, which shunts the external
resistance, therefore creating a higher gain error
Other errors
• Bias current Ib- (nA-fA) creates a voltage at the feedback resistor which
shows up at the output
-In values: Ib- = 10nA, therefore 0.1 mV across R2, with Eout = 10V that
means an error of 0.001%; therefore the error is rather small in this case
Non-inverting amplifier or follower
• ph probe amplifier

Frequency Response:
Comparators
• Compares the input voltage with some reference voltage and gives in
the output positive or negative saturation limits of the op-amp
