what are operational amplifiers designed to do?
a voltage amplifying device to be used with external feedback components to perform a variety of operations
dependent on which feedback component (resistor, capacitor or both)
what is amplifiers gain?
an op amps output signal
what are the classifications of op amps gain? (4)
voltage = voltage ‘in’ and voltage ‘out’
current = current ‘in’ and current ‘out’
transconductance = voltage ‘in’ and current ‘out’
transresistance = current ‘in’ and voltage ‘out’
in operational amplifiers, what is the output voltage signal equal to?
the difference between signals applied at its 2 inputs
