OP-AMP Questions :-
1. What is an operational amplifier?

An operational amplifier, abbreviated as op-amp, is basically a

multi-stage, very high gain, direct-coupled, negative feedback
amplifier that uses voltage shunt feedback to provide a stabilized
voltage gain.

3. Explain what is a voltage transfer curve of an op-amp?

The curve drawn between output voltage and input differential

voltage, for an op-amp, keeping voltage gain A constant is known
as voltage transfer curve.

Questions

4. What are differential gain and common-mode gain of a

differential amplifier?

When the difference of the two inputs applied to the two

terminals of a differential amplifier is amplified, the resultant
gain is termed as differential gain. But when the two input
terminals are connected to the same input source then the gain
established by the differential amplifier is called the common
mode gain.

5. Define CMRR.
CMRR is defined as the ration of differential voltage gain to
common-mode voltage gain and it is given as CMRR = Ad/Acm

6. Why does an op-amp have high CMRR?

High CMRR ensures that the common mode signals such as noise
are rejected successfully and the output voltage is proportional
only to the differential input voltage.

7. Why open-loop op-amp configurations are not used in

linear applications?

When an op-amp is operated in the open-loop configuration, the

output either goes to positive saturation or negative saturation
levels or switches between positive and negative saturation
levels and thus clips the output above these levels. So open-loop
op-amp configurations are not used in linear applications.

8. List the parameters that should be considered for ac and

dc applications.

The parameters to be considered for dc applications are:

Input offset voltage

Input offset current
Input bias current
 Drift

The parameters to be considered for ac applications are:

Gain bandwidth product (GBW)

Rise time
Slew rate
Full-power response
AC noise

9. Define offset voltage as applied to an op-amp.

Input offset voltage may be defined as that voltage which is to be

applied between the input terminals to balance the amplifier.

10. Give the typical value of bias current for CA741

operational amplifier.

80nA

11. Define slew rate.

Slew rate of an op-amp is defined as the maximum rate of

change of output voltage per unit time and is expresses in V/µs.

12. Explain what kind of negative feedback is present in a

noninverting op-amp.

Negative voltage-series feedback.

13. Explain what is a voltage follower?

Voltage follower is an electronic circuit in which output voltage

tracts the input voltage both in sign and magnitude.

14. What are the advantages of using a voltage follower

amplifier?
Voltage follower has three unique characteristics viz. extremely
high input impedance, extremely low output impedance and
unity transmission gain and is , therefore, an ideal circuit device
for use as a buffer amplifier.

15. In Explain what way is the voltage follower a special case

of the non-inverting amplifier?

If feedback resistor is made zero or R1 is made ∞(by keeping it

open-circuited) in a noninverting amplifier circuit, voltage
follower is obtained.

OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS Questions and Answers ::

16. What is an inverting amplifier?

In an inverting amplifier, the input is connected to the minus or

inverting terminal of op-amp.

17. What are the applications of an inverting amplifier?

Inverting amplifier is a very versatile component and can be

used for performing number of mathematical stimulation such
as analog inverter, paraphrase amplifier, phase shifter, adder,
integrator, differentiator.

18. What is a differential amplifier?

Differential amplifier is a combination of inverting and

noninverting amplifiers and amplifies the voltage difference
between input lines neither of which is grounded.

19. Give examples of linear circuits.

Adder, subtractor, differentiator, integrator fall under the

category of linear circuits.

20. Explain what is an adder or summing amplifier?

Adder or summing amplifier is a circuit that provides an output
voltage proportional to or equal to the algebraic sum of two or
more input voltages multiplied by a constant gain factor.

21. What is an integrator?

An integrator is a circuit that performs a mathematical operation

called integration.

22. What are the applications of integrators?

Integrators are widely used in ramp or sweep generators, filters,

analog computers etc.

23. Op-amp is used mostly as an integrator than a

differentiator. Explain why?

kuoyuhindia.com Learn more

Op-amp is used mostly as an integrator than a differentiator

because in differentiator at high frequency, gain is high and so
high-frequency noise is also amplified which absolutely abstract
the differentiated signal.

24. What is CMRR?

CMRR is defined as the ratio of differential voltage gain (Ad) to
common mode voltage gain (Acm). The formula for CMRR is
given below:
CMRR = Ad/Acm

25. What is characteristic of Ideal OPAMP? Important

Interview questions on OPAMP
Characteristic of ideal OPAMP are
1. Infinite voltage gain
2. Zero output impedance
3. infinite input impedance
4. Infinite slew rate
5. Characteristics not drifting with temperature
6. Infinite bandwidth

26. What is Amplifier? Important Interview questions on

OPAMP
Amplifier is a device that makes sound louder and signal level
greater.

27 What is the Formula for Non Inverting Amplifier?

The formula for non inverting amplifier is given as 1+Rf/R1

28. What is perfect balance in OPAMP? Important Interview

questions on OPAMP
Perfect balance is the characteristics of ideal OPAMP and if there
is same input applied then we will get the output zero. In this
condition it is known as perfect balance.

29. Which OPAMP don’t have feedback loop?

Comparator OPAMP (operational amplifier) don’t have feedback
loop.

30. Why OPAMP called direct coupled high differential

circuit?
OPAMP is called direct coupled because the input of one OPAMP
is inserted into the input of another OPAMP. It is called high gain
differential circuit because the difference of the two input is
amplified.
31. Why OPAMP called operational Amplifier? Important
Interview questions on OPAMP
OPAMP it is a direct coupled high gain differential input
amplifier. It is called operational amplifier because it is used for
performing different functions like differentiation, addition,
integration, subtraction. It has infinite voltage gain, infinite slew
rate, infinite input impedance, zero output impedance, infinite
bandwidth.

32. What is the output Differentiator and Integrator?

If we give the sinusoidal input in differentiator we will get the
output of differentiator as a square output. If we give the
sinusoidal input in integrator we will get the output of integrator
as a ramp output.

33. For the CMRR to be infinite what will be the condition?

CMRR is defined as the ratio of differential voltage gain (Ad) to
common mode voltage gain (Acm). The formula for CMRR is
given below:
CMRR = Ad/Acm
If Acm will be zero then only it will be infinite.
