Topic of Lecture: Analog Electronics- Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp), block diagram, parameters of
ideal and practical Op-Amp (IC 741)
Introduction :
An operational amplifier, also called as an op-amp or op amp, is an integrated
circuit primarily designed for performing analogue computations. It has a very
high voltage gain, typically of the order of 105 (100dB).
Although they are initially designed for performing mathematical operations like
addition, subtraction, integration, differentiation etc., (hence the name
Operational Amplifiers), by using external components like resistors and
capacitors to create a required feedback mechanism, it can also be used as an
amplifier and for many other functions like filters, comparators etc.
