OPEN-LOOP GAIN

Open-loop voltage gain, usually referred to by the acronym, AVOL,

for most voltage feedback op amps is quite high. Common values
are 100,000 to 1,000,000, and 10 or 100 times these figures for high
precision devices.

AoL (dB)

Remarks

90 dB

Observing the
characteristics, it
is clear that
among the four,
OPA369 has the
best AoL since it
has the highest
voltage gain.

INPUT RESISTANCE

The input is connected directly to the non-inverting input thus the

input resistance of an ideal op-amp usually has a very high value,
sometimes considered to be equal to infinity.

to the cutoff frequency where the gain starts to roll off.

Remarks

Bandwidth is the
range of
frequencies for
transmitting
signal and out of
the four, LM7171
proves to have
the best
bandwidth
because of its
long range.

INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE

Input offset voltage is the differential voltage that must be applied to

the input of the op amp to have an output of 0 in common mode.

Remarks
Observing the
input offset
voltage of the
four, LM747 has
the least offset
voltage thus
making it the best
to use among the
four.

INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE

Common-mode voltage range (CMVR) or Input Voltage Range

(IVR): For signal processing devices with differential inputs, such as
an op amp, CMVR is the range of common mode signal for which
the amplifier's operation remains linear.

can cover both
positive and
negative value.

Remarks
Swing is the
difference of
maximum output
voltage and
minimum output
voltage. The best
output swing
should have a
value near to
zero. And judging
the four, OPA369
is the best to use.
