    The document discusses the ideal operational amplifier (op-amp). It defines an op-amp as a device that amplifies voltage signals and has a single output and differential inputs. An ideal op-amp is described as having infinite gain, infinite input impedance, zero output impedance, zero noise, zero offset, and infinite bandwidth. Several common op-amp circuits are also listed.

    Basic Op-Amp

    Circuit Analysis
    The Ideal Op-Amp
    What is an Op-Amp?
    Op-amp stands for operational amplifier
    Its main purpose is to amplify a voltage signal
    It has a single output and with a differential input
    They are very important for building larger Integrated Circuits
    for many electronic devices

    Ideal Op-Amp: Representation



    Symbol Description:
    V+ : non-inverting input
    V- : inverting input
    Vs+ : positive power supply
    Vs- : negative power supply
    Vout : output


    Ideal Op-Amp: Properties
    These properties apply to ideal op-amps and can be used to
    analyze and design many circuits:
    Infinite open loop gain
    Infinite input impedance
    Zero output impedance
    Zero noise contribution
    Zero DC output offset
    Infinite bandwidth
    Same voltage is observed at both inputs
    Detailed Explanation of
    Properties
    Infinite Open Loop Gain
    Assume the op-amp has no positive or negative feedback
    The open loop gain, denoted by Avol ranges from 0 to infinity
    In practical amplifiers this is not true!
    Explanation of Properties
    Infinite Input Impedance
    The input impedance is given by Zin = Vin/Iin
    For ideal op-amps Zin is infinite
    This means that Iin is 0 (No current flows into the inputs of the
    op-amp)
    Real amplifiers dont have infinite impedance!
    Detailed Explanation of
    Properties
    Zero Output Impedance
    Ideal op-amp acts as perfect internal voltage source with no
    output impedance
    This means the internal resistance is in series with the load
    This results in a decrease in the output voltage of the load
    However, Real Op-Amps have an output impedance

    Detailed Explanation of
    Properties
    Zero Noise Contribution
    The same noise present at the input is present at the output
    Real op-amps have noise contributions that differ at the input
    and the output
    Detailed Explanation of
    Properties
    Zero Output Offset
    Output offset: output voltage when both inputs are grounded
    This offset has a value of 0 for the ideal op-amp
    Real op-amps however dont have a zero offset!
    Detailed Explanation of
    Properties
    Infinite Bandwidth
    For ideal op-amps, the input signal can be amplified with even
    infinitely large frequencies
    For real op-amps, there is a frequency limit for signal
    amplification
    Detailed Explanation of
    Properties
    Same voltage observed at the input
    The voltage on observed on the positive input is similar to the
    voltage observed on the negative input
    For the figure on the right, this
    means that:
    V+ = V-
    True only for ideal op-amps!
