In an op-amp, an input on the inverting terminal drives the output in the opposite direction, while an input on the non inverting terminal drives the output in the same direction.

In a normal closed loop negative feedback configuration, there is feedback from output to inverting input, so that the output becomes a known function of input. So long as you stay within limits, the output will go to whatever value is required to make the inputs be the same.

Because the signal on the inverting input will be inverted at the output, and a signal at the non-inverting input will appear at the output non-inverted.

If the inverting input goes high, the output will go low.

If the non-inverting input goes high, the output will go high.

Because that's what they are.

The inverting terminal delivers a signal of the opposite polarity of the received signal, while the non-inverting deliver a signal of the same polarity.

What are the two basic configurations in operational amplifier?

opamp is a device used to amplify ac as well as DC input signals. It is called as operational amp becoz it is used to perform all mathematical operations. Symbol of opamp indicates the direction of current.


Similarity between opamp and comparator?

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


Find the output waveform of op amp when inverted input terminal connected to a ground and a sinusoidal signal of 4 v peak at non inverting input?

In this configuration the opamp basically works as a non inverting comparator. During the positive cycle of the waveform the output will saturate to positive Vcc, while during the negative cycle the output saturates to negative Vcc. Therefore the output waveform is a square wave with amplitude equal to the supplies and period equal to the input waveform.

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.


What is the output when both the inverting and non inverting terminal of opamp is on same voltage in open loop configuration?

Ideally, the output voltage should be zero when the two inputs are equal to each other. Generally, an offset null adjustment is provided to do that - you short the two inputs together, and adjust the null for zero output. You just have to be careful, because high performance op-amps can "see" even the short sections of wire used for the jumper and treat that as an inductor, creating an RF oscillator. High frequency rolloff compensation usually is added to prevent this.


Where is the ground on an operational amplifier?

An opamp has a ground terminal on one of the pins.


What is offset null in lm741?

When using the LM741, one of the inputs will have a bias (usually non-inverting input), which means the output can never be 0 V. If a 0 V output is needed, you need to offset the bias. To do this, you can connect both inputs to two 1K resistors in parallel, or both inputs to either side of a 10K potentiometer. This will allow an output of 0 V from the opamp.

What is the applications opamp buffer circuit?

An opamp buffer circuit is one where the input signal is connected to the plus input, and the output is connected to the minus input. Within the performance limitations of the opamp, the output will track the input. The advantage of the buffer circuit is that is presents very little load impedance to the input signal, while providing a low impedance from the output to drive whatever circuitry is connected there.
