Operational amplifier (OPAMP)

What is a OPAMP
OPAMP is an electronic circuit module  made up of components like transistors, resistors and diodes all into one. Originally, OPAMPS were named because they were used to model the basic mathematical operations add, subtract,integrate and differentiate in analogue computers.






Characteristics of an Ideal OP-AMP
The ideal op-amp has:
-open-loop gain infinite,
-infinite bandwidth
-Infinite input impedances so that no current is drawn
-Zero output impedance so that maximum current is transferred to the load.
-input offset zero
-No thermal drift.




Inverting op-amp
Vin goes to (-) inverting input

Calculate Vout
If Vin =14 ,R1/Rf=15000, Rin=180

the Rf(R1) resistor is counted as a minus
formula is Vout=Vin(-Rf/Rin) 


Vout=14(-15000/180)
Vout=-1166 use 1k2



Non-Inverting op-amp 
Vin going to (+) non inverting input
Calculate Vout
Vin=27, Rf=150000,Rin=390

In a non-inverting op-amp we have to add +1 to Rf/Rin
so Vout=Vin(1+Rf/Rin)

Vout=27(1+150000/390)
Vout=10411 use 10k
