OBJECTIVE
a) To design an operational amplifier with specified gain requirements.
b) To verify and investigate performance characteristics of inverting and non-inverting operational
amplifier.

EQUIPMENT

5. IC uA741

THEORY
An “ideal” or perfect operational amplifier is a device with certain special characteristics such as
infinite open-loop gain, infinite input resistance, zero output resistance, infinite bandwidth and zero
offset. Operational amplifiers are used extensively in signal conditioning or perform mathematical
operations as they are nearly ideal for DC amplification. It is fundamentally a voltage amplifying
device used with external feedback components such as resistors and capacitors between its output
and input terminals. An operational amplifier is basically a three-terminal device consisting of two
high impedance inputs, one called the inverting input (–) and the other one called the non-inverting
input (+). The third terminal represents the operational amplifiers output port which can both sink
and source either a voltage or a current.
The purpose of closed loop operation i.e. with feedback is to control the gain of an operational
amplifier as open loop operation (without feedback) has many limitations.

The inverting amplifier's closed loop voltage gain can be less than, equal to or greater than 1.
As its name implies, its output signal is always inverted with respect to its input signal.
Inverting amplifier closed loop voltage gain is expressed as,

Rf
Av = − Eq.1.1
Ri

Where,
Rf = feedback resistance
Ri = input resistance

The non-inverting amplifier's closed loop gin is always greater than 1, while the input and
output signals are always in -phase. For non-inverting closed loop configuration voltage ‘gain is
expressed in equation 1.2.

be amplified to any one of this input pin connecting other pin to ground. The input terminal marked.
