Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp)

Basic Op-Amp
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET 2
Operational amplifier or op-amp, is a very high gain differential amplifier with a high
input impedance (typically a few meg-Ohms) and low output impedance (less than 100 ).
Note the op-amp has two inputs and one output.

For ideal Op-Amp:

i = 0
Op-Amp Gain
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET 4
Op-Amps have a very high gain. They can be connected open-loopor closed-loop.
• Open-loop refers to a configuration where there is no feedback from output back
to the input. In the open-loop configuration the gain can exceed 10,000.
• Closed-loop configuration reduces the gain. In order to control the gain of an op-
amp it must have feedback. This feedback is a negative feedback. A negative
feedback reduces the gain and improves many characteristics of the op-amp.
Inverting Op-Amp
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET 5
• The signal input is applied to the inverting (–) input
• The non-inverting input (+) is grounded
• The resistor Rf is the feedback resistor. It is connected from the
output to the negative (inverting) input. This is negative feedback.
Virtual Ground

Virtual Ground
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET 7
An understanding of the concept of virtual ground provides a better understanding of
how an op- amp operates.
The non-inverting input pin is at ground. The inverting input pin is also at 0 V for an AC
signal.
The op-amp has such high input impedance that even with a high gain there is no current
from inverting input pin, therefore there is no voltage from inverting pin to ground—all of the
current is through Rf.

RC
The output is the integral
of the input. Integration
is the operation of
summing the area under
a waveform or curve over
a period of time. This
circuit is useful in low-
pass filter circuits and
sensor conditioning
circuits.

Any amplifier with no gain or loss is called a unitygain
amplifier.
The advantages of using a unity gain amplifier:
• Very high input impedance
• Very low output impedance
Realistically these circuits
are designed using equal
resistors (R1 = Rf) to avoid
problems with offset
voltages.
