Introduction
• Operational amplifiers are versatile ICs containing a hundred or so transistors that can
perform a variety of mathematical functions. For this reason, they are the building blocks of
many Analog signal processing circuits and analog electronic circuits
• Operational amplifiers are linear devices that have all the properties required for nearly
ideal DC amplification and are therefore used extensively in signal conditioning, filtering or
to perform mathematical operations such as add, subtract, integration and differentiation.
• An Operational Amplifier, or op-amp for short, is fundamentally a voltage amplifying device
designed to be used with external feedback components such as resistors and capacitors
between its output and input terminals.
• Different feedback configurations like resistive, capacitive or both, the amplifier can perform
a variety of different operations, giving rise to its name of “Operational Amplifier”.
• Integrated circuit fabrication techniques have made high-performance operational amplifiers
very inexpensive in comparison to older discrete devices.
