֍ A very high gain differential amplifier with HIGH input impedance and
LOW output impedance
֍ Used in: Voltage amplifiers, oscillators, filter circuits, in instrumentational
circuits
֍ Contains a number of differential amplifier stages for a very high gain
֍ 20 to 30 or more transistors are used to make up an op-amp circuit
֍ Op-amp requires dc power, and the transistors are biased in the active
region
֍ Most op-amps are biased with both a positive and a negative voltage supply

֍ We explicitly show two dc ⑦
power supplies as batteries ② 𝑉+

with a common ground. ⑥
֍ It is interesting to note that the +
𝑉−
reference grounding point in ③
op-amp circuits is just the ④
common terminal of the two
power supplies; that is, no
terminal of the op-amp
package is physically
connected to ground.
