DESIGN THEORY
he operational amplifier (op amp). Op amps have been in use for a long time, their
initial applications being primarily in the areas of analog computation and
sophisticated instrumentation. an IC op amp is made up of a large number (tens or
more) of transistors, resistors, and (usually) one capacitor connected in a rather
complex circuit.

From a signal point of view the op amp has three terminals: two input terminals and one
output terminal. Figure 11.1 shows the symbol we shall use to represent the op amp.
Terminals 2 and 3 are input terminals, and terminal 6 is the output terminal. As
amplifiers require dc power to operate. Most IC op amps require two dc power supplies,
as shown in Figure 11.1. Two

terminals, 7 and 4, are brought out of the op-amp package and connected to a positive
voltage VCC and a negative voltage −VEE, respectively. An ideal Op-Amp possesses the
following properties:

• It does not draw any current from its input terminals which means that no current
flows into the device from the inverting and non-inverting pins.

• It has infinite Open Loop Gain i.e. any small voltage difference between the
input pins results in output saturation to VCC or −VEE if no feedback is
provided.

• If a negative feedback (a resistive path connecting output to inverting input) is

present, then the voltage at inverting and non-inverting inputs is the same i.e.
Vinverting =
Vnon_inverting.

Two basic OP-AMP’s negative feedback configuration are inverting and non-
inverting configurations. With the non-inverting configuration, the input voltage is
connected to the noninverting pin of the Op-Amp and the output has the same
polarity as that of the input voltage. This configuration is shown in Figure 10.2. The
output is related to the input voltage using the following relationship:

Similarly, the with the inverting configuration, the input voltage is connected to the
inverting pin of the Op-Amp and the output has a polarity which is opposite to that of the
input voltage. This configuration is shown in Figure 10.3. The output is related to the
input voltage using the following relationship:

PROCEDURE
1. Connect the circuit as shown in Figure 11.2.

2. Measure the values of the resistors R1 and R2 and write them down.

3. Set the input voltage VIN = -3 V and measure the currents I1, I2 and the voltages
Vinverting, Vnon_inverting and VOUT. Write down the measured values in Table 11.1.

4. Calculate the measured non-inverting gain VOUT / VIN and write it down in
Table 11.1.

5. Also write the calculated non-inverting gain of the Op-Amp using the following
relation:

6. Now change the input voltage VIN = -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 and +3 V and repeat step 3
to 5 writing the new values in Table 11.1.

7. Now connect the circuit in inverting configuration as shown in Figure 11.3.

8. Repeat the same steps as step 3, 4 and 6 for the new circuit and write down the
result in Table 11.2.

9. Also write the calculated inverting gain of the Op-Amp in Table 11.2 using
the following relation:
R1=1k
R2=2k
