IC : IC is a miniature (small size) , low cost electronic
equipment consisting of passive and active elements
connected together with a silicon material.
Integrated circuit (IC), also called microelectronic circuit,
microchip, or chip.

19. HISTORY OF OP-AMP
The term op-amp was coined in 1947 by John
R. Ragazzini
It was used in Analog computers to perform
mathematical operations such +,-,, x, hence
name given as OP-AMP
1st op-amp designed using Vacuum tubes not
popular due to bulky, power consuming and
expensive.
In 1964 alternatively developed popular 741 IC
by Dave Fullager & Robert J.Widlar at
Fairchild.
741 IC is called OP-AMP small in size , less
power consume and low cost
20. The number 741 indicates that this
operational amplifier IC has 7 active pins, 4
pins taking input and 1 output pin.
21. OPERATIONALAMPLIFIER
(Op Amp)
Historically an Op Amp was designed to
perform such mathematical operations as
addition, subtraction, integration and
differentiation. Hence the name Operational
Amplifier.

FEATURES of IC 741 OP-AMP
58. Golden Rules of Op-Amp
1) Infinite Open Loop Gain
AOL- Open loop gain of the op-amp without feedback.
Ideal value be infinite but practical range from about 20,000 to
200,000.
59. 2) No current flowing through both
of the Inputs
I =0
I =0
There is no current flowing through either of the inputs of the op-amp because
Of high input impedance.
60. 3. Potential Difference between input pins
is ZERO by using Virtual Ground Concept
VCG.
If the non-inverting input is connected to ground , meaning
that the inverting input is also at 0V.
61.
62. V?
What is voltage at the inverting point as shown in fig. Which
golden rule to be applicable?
70. Virtual Ground Concept VGC: The voltage at that particular
node is almost equal to ground voltage (0V).
Virtual Ground Concept VGC
71. What is Virtual Ground Concept-VGC?
As the name indicates it is virtual, not real
ground. For some purposes we can consider it
as equivalent to ground. In op-amps the term
virtual ground means that the voltage at
that particular node is almost equal to
ground voltage (0V). It is not physically
connected to ground. It is very useful in
analysis of an op-amp when negative
feedback is employed.
72. the concept of virtual ground with inverting op-amp configuration
94. Used in circuits where high input impedance is
required.
Used as a voltage follower, isolation of cascaded circuits,
to perform mathematical simulations, etc
112. Thermal Drift
Bias current, offset current and offset voltage change with temperature.
A circuit carefully nulled at 25◦C may not remain so when the temperature
rises to 35◦C. This is called drift.
Often, offset current drift is expressed as nA/ ◦C and offset voltage
drift in mV/ ◦C.
These indicate the change in offset for each degree Celsius change in
temperature.
There are very few circuit techniques that can be used to minimize the
effect of drift.
• Careful printed circuit board layout must be used to keep op-amp
away from source of heat.
• Forced air cooling may be used to stabilize the ambient temperature.
