Integrated Circuit or "IC" can be of many functions, also including the function of an Operational Amplifier. An Op-Amp does however not have to be an IC. It can easily be made with a few transistors (or vacuum tubes as the first opamps built were) and some resistors.

Electronics is a field of many things. Most often we make large schematics and large prototypes of electronic boards of a specific function. When successful, this large board can be miniaturized into a tiny "IC". These IC's can mostly be identified by a name and number that is printed on them.

As we have many different models of cars, we also have many different models of Op-Amps. Some are slow. Some are fast. Some drain very little current, Others may drain a lot of current. Some may be designed to work on very low voltage only. others yet again may be designed to work on a wide range of voltages.

Is IC741 a hybrid ic?

no, the 741 opamp is a monolithic IC.


IC 741 is an?

It is an opamp chip consisting of 8 pins


Who invented the opamp-741 IC?

Nobody invented the op-amp but manufactures decided that an amplifier can be more efficient as opposed to building the same amplifier out of discreet components


What are application of ic 741 opamp?

A 741 Op-amp has three distinct parts and applications. They are a differential amplifier, a voltage amplifier, and an output amplifier.


What is feedback resistance and what is it's use?

Feedback resistance is used to feed back the current obtained at output back into the circuit. Thus a virtual ground concept is developed.this is majorly used in applications of OPAMP[IC 741].

A comparator is simply an opamp with a certain configuation of external circuitry ( a few components) that make it function as a comparator.


What is the advantage of bistable multivibrator using 555 ic over those made with opamp or bjt?

The advantage is most of the circuit has already been connected up for you and you only have to add a dc power supply and couple of components to set what frequency you want it to work at.

Why voltage gain is high in op amp?

A practical opamp is designed to approach the characteristics of the ideal opamp as closely as possible. The open loop voltage gain of an ideal opamp is infinite, so while this is actually impossible to achieve practical opamps are built with as high an open loop voltage gain as possible.
