 As well as resistors and capacitors, Operational
Amplifiers, or Op-amps as they are more commonly
called, are one of the basic building blocks of Analogue
Electronic Circuits.

 Operational amplifiers are linear devices that have all

the properties required for nearly ideal DC amplification
and are therefore used extensively in signal conditioning,
filtering or to perform mathematical operations such as
add, subtract, integration and differentiation.

 An Operational Amplifier, or op-amp for short, is
fundamentally a voltage amplifying device designed
to be 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 which consists of :

 Inverting Input, marked with a negative or

“minus” sign, ( - ) .

 Non-inverting Input, marked with a

positive or “plus” sign ( + ).

 The third terminal represents

the Operational Amplifiers output port.

may be satisfactory for low impedance sources,
but its input impedance is too low for high-output
impedance sources. Furthermore, if the input
signals are very low level and include noise, the
difference amplifier is unable to extract a
satisfactory difference signal. The solution to this
problem is the instrumentation amplifier. It has
the following characteristics:

 Very high input impedance

 Large common mode rejection ratio (CMRR). The CMRR is the

ratio of the difference mode gain to the common mode gain. The
difference mode gain is the amplification factor for the
difference between the input signals, and the common mode
gain is the amplification factor for the average of the input
signals. For an ideal difference amplifier, the common mode gain
is 0, implying an infinite CMRR. When the common mode gain is
nonzero, the output is nonzero when the inputs are equal and
nonzero. It is desirable to minimize the common mode gain to
suppress signals such as noise that are common to both inputs.

 Capability to amplify low-level signals in a noisy environment,

often a requirement in differential-output sensor signal-
conditioning applications.

 Consistent bandwidth over a large range of gains
