History of Op Amps Non Named for their originally intended functions: performing mathematical operations and amplification Addition Subtraction Integration Differentiation
History of Op Amps Non Op Amps were initially developed in the vacuum tube era, but later were made into IC s (Integrated Circuits) First integrated Op Amp to become widely available was the bipolar Fairchild µa709 Quickly superseded by the 741, a name that has stuck with Op Amps since
History of Op Amps Non The most common and most famous opamp is the ma741c or just 741, which is packaged in an 8pin minidip. The integrated circuit contains 20 transistors and 11 resistors Introduced by Fairchild in 1968, the 741 and subsequent IC opamps including FETinput opamps 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.
Op Amp Features Non Op Amps have two different inputs, inverting,, and noninverting, s and s are the positive and negative power supplies out is the output

Amplifier For an ideal opamp, the inverting amplifier gain is given by: Non The circuit that yields this equation is given on the diagram on the right
Amplifier Non For equal resistors, it has a gain of 1, and is used in digital circuits as an inverting buffer, or simply an inverter
Non Amplifier Non For an ideal opamp, the noninverting amplifier gain is given by A diagram of the circuit that yields the above equation is given on the right
Non Amplifier Non For an noninverting amplifier, the current rule tries to drive the current to zero at point A and the voltage rule makes the voltage at A equal to the input voltage. This leads to: and the amplification equation

Practical Tips Non Try to use single supply opamps in order to minimize need for a 10 difference from power supply Good low resistance, twisted, and shielded wire should be used when a sensor is located far away from the opamp circuit. Minimize current draw in sensor circuits to reduce thermal drift Filter power into opamp circuits using capacitors Design opamp circuits so output cannot be negative in order to protect 68HC11 A/D port. Isolate opamp circuit output with unity gain opamp if connected to an actuator. Make sure bandwidth of opamp is adequate Use trimmer potentiometers to balance resistors in differential opamp circuits Samples of opamps can be obtained from National Semiconductor (http://www.national.com) Use the Net for circuit examples
