2. WHAT ?
• An Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) is an integrated
circuit that uses external voltage to amplify the input
through a very high gain.

3. History of the Op-Amp
• The Vacuum Tube Age
• The First Op-Amp: (1930 – 1940) Designed by
Karl Swartzel for the Bell Labs M9 gun
director
• Uses 3 vacuum tubes, only one input, and ±
350 V to attain a gain of 90 dB
• Loebe Julie then develops an Op-Amp with
4. 1950’s-1960’s
The end of Vacuum Tubes was built up
during the 1950’s-1960’s to the advent of
solid-state electronics

2.The Integrated Circuit
3.The Planar Process
5. 1960s:
• 1960s: beginning of the Solid State Op-Amp
• Example: GAP/R P45 (1961 – 1971)
– Runs on ± 15 V, but costs $118 for 1 – 4
• The GAP/R PP65 (1962) makes the Op-Amp into a
circuit component as a potted module
6. @ 1963
• The solid-state decade saw a proliferation of Op-Amps
– Model 121, High Speed FET family, etc.
• Robert J. Widlar develops the μA702 Monolithic IC Op-
Amp (1963) and shortly after the μA709
• Fairchild Semiconductor vs. National Semiconductor
– National: The LM101 (1967) and then the LM101A (1968) (both by
Widlar)
– Fairchild: The “famous” μA741 (by Dave Fullager 1968)
and then the μA748 (1969)
7. Mathematics of the Op-Amp
• The gain of the Op-Amp itself is calculated as:
G = Vout/(V+ – V-)
• The maximum output is the power supply voltage
• When used in a circuit, the gain of the circuit (as opposed to
the op-amp component) is:
Av = Vout/Vin
8. Op-Amp Characteristics
• Open-loop gain G is typically over 9000
• But closed-loop gain is much smaller
• Rin is very large (MΩ or larger)
•Rout is small (75Ω or smaller)
• Effective output impedance in closed loop is very small
10. Ideal Op-Amp Analysis
To analyze an op-amp feedback circuit:
• Assume no current flows into either input terminal
• Assume no current flows out of the output terminal
• Constrain: V+ = V-

Ideal Op-Amp Applications
Analysis Method :
Two ideal Op-Amp Properties:
(1) The voltage between V+ and V− is zero V+ = V−
(2) The current into both V+ and V− termainals is zero
For ideal Op-Amp circuit:
(1) Write the kirchhoff node equation at the noninverting
terminal V+
(2) Write the kirchhoff node eqaution at the inverting
terminal V−
(3) Set V+ = V− and solve for the desired closed-loop gain

Op-Amp Properties
(1) Infinite Open Loop gain
- The gain without feedback
- Equal to differential gain
- Zero common-mode gain
- Pratically, Gd = 20,000 to 200,000
(2) Infinite Input impedance
- Input current ii ~0A
- T-Ω in high-grade op-amp
- m-A input current in low-grade op-
amp
(3) Zero Output Impedance
- act as perfect internal voltage source
- No internal resistance
- Output impedance in series with load
- Reducing output voltage to the load
- Practically, Rout ~ 20-100 Ω

• We can adjust the closed-loop gain by changing the ratio of R2 and R1.
• The closed-loop gain is (ideally) independent of op amp open-loop gain A (if A is
large enough) and we can make it arbitrarily large or small and with the desired
accuracy depending on the accuracy of the resistors.
26. �
The terminal 1 is a virtual ground since
terminal 2 is grounded.
Inverting configuration,
This is a classic example of what negative feedback does. It takes an amplifier with
very large gain and through negative feedback, obtain a gain that is smaller, stable,
and predictable. In effect, we have traded gain for accuracy. This kind of trade off is
common in electronic circuit design… as we will see more later.

Inverting configuration,
Input Resistance:
Assuming an ideal op amp (open-loop gain A = infinity), in the closed-loop inverting
configuration, the input resistance is R1.

Frequency-Gain Relation
• Ideally, signals are amplified
from DC to the highest AC
frequency
• Practically, bandwidth is limited
• 741 family op-amp have an limit
bandwidth of few KHz.
• Unity Gain frequency f1: the gain at
unity
• Cutoff frequency fc: the gain drop by
3dB from dc gain Gd

Example: Determine the cutoff frequency of an op-amp having a unit gain
frequency f1 = 10 MHz and voltage differential gain Gd = 20V/mV
Sol:
Since f1 = 10 MHz
By using GB production equation
f1 = Gd fc
fc = f1 / Gd = 10 MHz / 20 V/mV
= 10 × 106

32. So far, we have been looking at
the amplification that can be
achieved for relatively small
(amplitude) signals.
For a fixed gain, as we increase
the input signal amplitude, there
is a limit to how large the output
signal can be. The output
saturates as it approaches the
positive and
negative power supply voltages.
In other words, there is limited
range across which the gain is
linear. −+ > vv += Vvo
