Study Notes

Op-Amp Characteristics

  • Open-loop gain (AOL) of an Op-amp is very high, around 105-106
  • In open-loop state, even a small input signal can saturate the output voltage, limited by the basis supply voltage (saturation voltage)

Ideal Op-Amp Characteristics

  • Infinite open-loop gain (AOL) i.e., Aν = − ∞
  • Infinite input resistance (Ri) i.e., Ri = ∞ Ω, resulting in zero input current (i = 0)
  • Zero output resistance (R0) i.e., R0 = 0 Ω, making output voltage (v0) independent of load resistance
  • Infinite bandwidth, with a frequency response from dc to infinity

Virtual Ground and Virtual Short

  • Virtual ground arises when an Op-amp employs negative feedback, making the voltage difference between inverting and non-inverting input terminals approximately equal to zero
  • Point A is referred to as virtual ground, not the actual ground, and is at the same potential as the non-inverting input terminal
  • Virtual short circuit exists between the two input terminals

Introduction to Op-Amp

  • Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) is a voltage amplifying device
  • Op-Amp can perform different mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, integration, differentiation, logarithmic, etc. by connecting external feedback components
  • This is why it is known as Operational Amplifier

Op-Amp Circuit and Symbol

  • Standard triangular symbol of an Op-Amp has five terminals: inverting input, non-inverting input, output, positive bias supply, and negative bias supply
  • When an Op-Amp is operated without external feedback, it is in the open-loop state, and its gain is called open-loop gain (AOL)
