    The operational amplifier, or op-amp, is a high-gain DC-coupled amplifier with two inputs and a single output. The 741 op-amp is a famous integrated circuit version that has high input impedance, low output impedance, and gain of around a million. It uses split power supplies, usually +/- 15V, and feedback to determine its gain. The 741 op-amp contains 20 transistors and 11 resistors and was introduced in 1968, becoming a standard tool for amplification and other tasks.

    Operational Amplifiers

    The term operational amplifier or "op-amp" refers to a class of high-gain DC


    coupled amplifiers with two inputs and a single output. The modern integrated
    circuit version is typified by the famous 741 op-amp. Some of the general
    characteristics of the IC version are:

    High gain, on the order of a million


    High input impedance, low output
    impedance
    Used with split supply, usually +/- 15V
    Used with feedback, with gain determined
    by the feedback network.

    Their characteristics often approach that of the ideal op-amp and can be
    understood with the help of the golden rules.

    The most common and most famous op-amp is the mA741C or just 741, which is
    packaged in an 8-pin mini-DIP. The integrated circuit contains 20 transistors and
    11 resistors. Introduced by Fairchild in 1968, the 741 and subsequent IC opamps including FET-input op-amps have become the standard tool for achieving
    amplification and a host of other tasks. Though it has some practical limitations,
    the 741 is an electronic bargain at less than a dollar.

    Readily available, inexpensive IC op-amps have characteristics which are


    reasonable approximations of an ideal op-amp (data from Simpson):

    These characteristics lead to the golden rules for op-amps. They allow you to
    logically deduce the operation of any op-amp circuit.
