Introduction
{ Op Amp is short for operational
amplifier.
{ An operational amplifier is modeled
as a voltage controlled voltage
source.
{ An operational amplifier has a very
high input impedance and a very
high gain.
3. 3
Use of Op Amps
{ Op amps can be configured in many
different ways using resistors and
other components.
{ Most configurations use feedback.
4. 4
Applications of Op Amps
{ Amplifiers provide gains in voltage
or current.
{ Op amps can convert current to
voltage.
{ Op amps can provide a buffer
between two circuits.
{ Op amps can be used to implement
integrators and differentiators.

resistance of 2 MΩ, and output resistance of 50 Ω.The op amp is
used in the circuit shown below. Find the closed- loop gain v0/vs. Find i0

“Ideal” Op Amp
{ The input resistance is infinite,
Rin=∞
{ The gain is infinite, A = ∞
{ Zero output resistance, Ro= 0
{ The op amp is in a negative
feedback configuration.
13. 13
Consequences of the Ideal
{ Infinite input resistance means the
current into the inverting input is
zero:
i- = 0 = i+
{ Infinite gain means the difference
between v+ and v- is zero:
v+ - v- = 0

Review
{ To solve an op amp circuit, we
usually apply KCL at one or both of
the inputs.
{ We then invoke the consequences
of the ideal model.
i- = 0 = i+
v+ - v- = 0
{ We solve for the op amp output
voltage.

{ Since a difference must reject a signal common
to the two inputs, the amplifier must have the
property that v0 = 0 when v1 = v2. This implies
