If the output of the operational amplifier is inconsistent with the inputs, then you are operating outside of the limits of the device. You might also have experienced lockup, a characteristic where the output locks in one state, but this still stems from operating outside of limits. Make sure the inputs are always within the specified range.

What is invertion?

An inverting amplifier is one where the output is an inverted function of the input. The Class A transistor amplifier, also known as common-emitter, is inverting. As you increase the voltage on the base, the output voltage on the collector decreases. The operational amplifier has an inverting and a non-inverting input. In typical bridge mode, the output is inverted with respect to the (inverting) input, and the non-inverting input is used to reject common-mode input signals by moving the virtual ground point as needed.


What is an inverse amplifier?

An inverse amplifier, commonly known as an inverting amplifier, is a type of operational amplifier (op-amp) configuration that produces an output voltage that is inversely proportional to the input voltage. This means that if the input voltage increases, the output voltage decreases, and vice versa. The gain of the inverting amplifier is determined by the ratio of two resistors in the feedback and input paths. It is widely used in various applications including signal processing and analog computing.


What does a comparator do in electronics?

A comparator is an operational amplifier used without a feedback circuit. The output of the comparator will be high when the voltage of the non-inverting input is below the inverting input, and low when the inverting is above the non-inverting input. The output is undefined - i.e. can by anything - when the voltages are equal.


What is the use of operational amplifiers in circuits?

An operational amplifier is typically used where it is desirable to control a voltage over a wide range of levels; i.e., in analog mode as opposed to the on-off limits of a digital signal. An operational amplifier in simplest form will have a non-inverting and an inverting input terminal and an output terminal, each of which are analog in function. The output terminal will tie into external circuit components that eventually connect back to the inverting terminal. The key to its performance is that when a change is made to the voltage on the non-inverting input terminal, the output of the amplifier will change in voltage level, whether increasing or decreasing, to the level that causes the voltage appearing at the inverting terminal to equal that of the non-inverting terminal. In that way the output voltage is a predictible value that is useful for automatically controlling a flow valve or other device. Of course, it can also be used to just to act as a signal conditioner for sensors, audio devices and countless other applications.

How do you calculate gain of an inverting and non-inverting OP-Amp configuration?

gain in an op-amp is the output voltage divided by input voltage. for the inverting amplifier , gain(Av)=-(Rf/Ri) ,where Rf => resistance of the feedback path & Ri=> inverting input terminal resistance for the non-inverting amplifier , gain(Av)=(1+(Rf/Ri)) , where Rf => same & Ri=> non inverting input terminal resisance


What output would you expect in the inverting amplifier if Ri were open?

If the input resistor (Ri) of an inverting amplifier is open, the amplifier would not receive any input voltage. Consequently, the output would be undefined or could potentially swing to the positive or negative supply voltage, depending on any stray voltages or noise present in the circuit. Essentially, the amplifier would not function as intended, as it relies on a defined input signal to produce an output.


Is the slew rate of the non-inverting amplifier the same as the voltage follower?

It can be but it might not be, it depends on circuit design.
