Introduction
• Operation amplifier (op-amp) have high gain
amplifier and able to amplify signal with
frequency ranging from 0 to 1MHz.
• An op-amp is named so because it was
originally designed to perform mathematical
operations like summation, subtraction,
multiplication, differential and integration etc in
analogue computer.
• It has two input terminals, the inverting input
("-"), the non-inverting input ("+") and one output
terminal.
• A complete amplifier electronic circuit
may contains transistor, diode, resistor,
capacitor and others components and
constructed on a single silicon chip.
• The area is 5mm2 and thickness is less
than 0.5mm, it is protected by lace
plastic.
Symbol and IC configuration of op-amp
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF OP-AMP
Inverting input
Signal applied at
negative input terminal will
appear
amplified but phase
inverted at the output
terminal.
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF OP-AMP
Differential Amplifier
Input bias current
• The average of the currents flowing into both
inputs.
• It can calculated as follows:
I1 I 2
I BIAS
2
Aol
CMRR 20 log
Acm
and with common devices having ratings between 60 dB
to 120 dB.
• The higher the CMRR is, the better the devices.
Example
1. A certain op-amp has an open-loop voltage
gain of 100,000 and a common-mode gain of
0.2. Determine the CMRR and express it in
decibels.

a) Voltage gain =
- the gain of the op-amp without positive or negative feedback. Avo = Vo
- ideal op-amp, Aol is taken to be infinite value. Vid
- Typical values of Aol range from 20,000 to 200,000 in real devices.
b) Input impedance =
Vin
- Input impedance is the ratio of input voltage to input current Z in
I in
- When Zin is infinite, the input current Iin=0.
- High-grade op-amps can have input impedance in the Tera Ω range.
c) Output impedance = 0
- An ideal op-amp has infinite input impedance and zero output impedance.
- when Iin is zero if Rin is equal to infinity.
Model of an op-amp
RL
Vo AoVi
Ro R L
If the output resistance Ro is very small, there is no drop in output voltage due
to the output resistance of an op-amp.
d) Input offset voltage = 0
-input offset voltage of an op-amp is equal to the output for zero input voltage
divided by the open-loop voltage gain of the amplifier.
Vos = Vo
Aol
-output voltage of an op-amp should be zero when the value of an applied
voltage
at both the input terminals is zero.
- in practical op-amp, found that the output voltage does exist for zero input
voltage.
- it cause by small imbalances within the op-amp.
e) Offset current = 0
- caused by difference in bias currents are needed by both input transistors in
the Op-Amp.
- It happen due to unsuccessful matching between transistor β – input transistor

f) Bandwidth =
- The bandwidth of an amplifier is the range of frequencies for which the amplifier
gives "satisfactory performance".
