Best Answer

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.

The voltage gain of an op-amp is unity at the what?

unity-gain frequency


Why output voltage of differential op amp clips?

The op amp can only output so high a voltage; this is limited by the positive and negative voltages applied to the op amp. Your input signal is too strong, or your amplifier is set up to have too much gain.


Why clipping happen for op-amp?

Clipping occurs in the voltage waveform when the input voltage, multiplied by the voltage gain of the op-amp circuit, exceeds the op-amp supply voltage as limited by the output network. The supply voltage and output network, limits the maximum voltage that can be achieved at the output. The op-amp behaves normally within its range of maximum voltage output, and then it is clipped when it reaches the maximum voltage of the circuit.


Why feedback is used in op-amp?

Feedback in used in an op-amp to limit and control the gain. An op-amp, by itself, has very high gain, often more than 100,000. (A theoretical op-amp has infinite gain.) The external feedback loop forms a divider, more correctly a bridge, that is maintained in balance by the op-amp, giving the desired real gain.


What are the ideal op-amp approximations?

Ideal op amp approximations: -no current goes into the positive or negative input of the op amp. -The open loop gain is infinite. -Voltage at positive input is the same as the negative input.


How an op amp differs from a basic amp?

A basic, single transistor amplifier differs from an op amp: 1. The op amp has more gain 2. The op amp may have higher input resistance (so it loads the circuit less) 3. The op amp may have a lower output resistance (so it can drive larger currents) 4. The op amp likely has a lower frequency response (due to the high gain, unless you provide some sort of feedback loop) 5. The op amp is ridiculously complex compared to a simple amplifier 6. The op amp will require a positive and negative voltage (may be unnecessary with a single transistor amplifier)


Why open loop gain of op-amp is very high?

A; An ideal op amp should have infinite open loop gain so when the loop is closed with negative feedback it will be stable


How gain varies with bandwidth in an op-amp?

The gain of an op amp varies with frequency. After an op amp reaches the half-power point, the gain falls appreciably. And then once it hits the transition frequency, the op amp no longer provides any gain.


What is relationship between gain and bandwidth of an op amp is?

An op amp can have a very large gain, but a limited bandwidth. If you decrease the gain, you can increase the bandwidth.


Does an open loop gain of an op-amp change with a variation of the resistors and transistors inside the IC?

It could do, which is why an op-amp is made with a very high open-loop gain so that the actual gain can be closely controlled by the passive feedback components.


How can an OP-AMP be nulled?

op-amp can be nulled using offset voltage about +/- 1.5 mv to offset pins
