Op-amp as Inverting & Non-Inverting Amplifier

1. Objectives
 To become familiar with Op-amp Amplifiers
 To understand working of inverting and non-inverting op-amp.

2. Introduction
The standard operational amplifier (op-amp) symbol is shown in Figure 12–1(a). It
has two input terminals, the inverting () input and the noninverting () input, and one
output terminal. Most op-amps operate with two dc supply voltages, one positive and
the other negative, as shown in Figure 12–1(b), although some have a single dc
supply. Usually these dc voltage terminals are left off the schematic symbol for
simplicity but are understood to be there. Some typical op-amp IC packages are
shown in Figure 12–1(c).

8. Results comparison:
Hardware results have a small difference than simulation results because practically
there are V= IR losses, energy losses and losses due to temperature change. Therefore,
practical readings are always less than theoretical or simulation readings.

9. Conclusion:
Increasing Rf values in inverting and non-inverting op-amp increases voltage gain.
