Introduction:
An operational amplifier is a DC coupled high gain electronic voltage amplifier with a differential
input and usually, a single ended output. It is a very high gain amplifier having very high input
impedance and low output impedance. The op-amp can be connected in a large number of circuits
to provide various operating characteristics. Some of them, there are four types of op-amp circuits
which are described below:
Inverting Amplifier:
An inverting amplifier is a type of operational amplifier circuit which produces an output which is
out of phase with respect to its input by 180", It is the most widely used constant gain amplifier as
shown in Fig 9.1. The output is obtained by multiplying the point by fixed or constant gain, set by
the input resistor (R1) and feedback resistor ( RF). So
Rf
We can write, Vo = - V1
R1
Non - inverting amplifier:
Non- inverting amplifier is an op- amp based amplifier with positive voltage gain. The connection
of Fig 9.2 shows an op -amp that works as a non-inverting amplifier. It should be noted that the
inverting amplifier connection is more widely used because it has better frequency stability. To
determine the voltage gain of the circuit, we can use the equivalent representation in Fig 9-2 (b).
The voltage across R1 is V1 since V1= 0V. This must be equal to the output voltage, through a
voltage divider of R1 and Rf so that,
R Rf
V1= Vo =Vo/V1 = 1 + .
R1+R2 R1
Summing Amplifier:
A summing amplifier produces an output equal to the sum of the input voltages applied at its
inverting terminal. Probably the most used of the op-amp circuits is the summing amplifier circuit
shown in Fig 9.3:
The circuit shows a three- input summing amplifier circuit, which provides a means of algebraically
summing three voltages each multiplied by a constant gain factor. We can express the output
voltage in terms of input as,
Rf Rf Rf
Vo = - ( V1+ V2+ V3)
R1 R2 R2
Subtracting Amplifier:
A subtracting amplifier is also called a subtractor, uses both the inverting and non-inverting inputs
to produces an output signal which is the difference between the two input voltages V1 and v2
allowing one signal to be subtracted from another as shown in Fig 9.4:
So, we can express the output voltage of subtractor is,
Rf
Vo =R1 (V2 – V1)

Experimental Data:
In an inverting amplifier,
we see from the waveshape that, when the input voltage,
Vi = 156mV, the output voltage amplitude, Vo = 6.88V.
6.88
∴ voltage gain = 0.156 = 44.10 and it is 180o shifted.

Result and Calculation:
In an inverting amplifier,
we know,

45−44.10
Error = × 100 %

In non inverting amplifier,
we know,
𝑅𝑓
gain = 1+ 𝑅1

46−46.67
Error = 46 × 100 %
= 1.46%
In a subtracting amplifier,
Input voltage, V1 =10V and V2 =5V
𝑅2
So output V0 = 𝑅1 (𝑣2 − 𝑣1) = 1(10-5) = 5V

Error = × 100 %

In a adder,
Input voltage, V1 =10V and V2 =5V
𝑅2
So output V0 = 𝑅1 (𝑣2 + 𝑣1) = 1(10+5) = 15V

Error = × 100 %

Discussion:
This experiment has led to the introduction of the op-amp. Additionally, we learned about
summing, subtracting, and inverting amplifiers. Using the amplitude from the wave form, we
looked at the input and output waveshape of these four different types of amplifiers. Additionally,
we now understand the significance of Op-Amps as amplifiers. Additionally, the gain value of
these amplifiers was computed. We made some mistakes when calculating gain. The inaccuracies
we received are quite little and insignificant. We may now use an op-amp for a variety of purposes,
including summing, subtracting, non-inverting, and inverting. The mistakes we made are helpful.
