Q

in operational amplifiers, what should the output do if an identical common signal is detected?

A

some form of negative feedback

22

30
Q

in op amps, what is op amps bandwidth?

A

the frequency range over which voltage gain of the amplifier is above 70.7% or -3dB of max output

31
Q

in op amps, at the detriment of high gain, but the gain of control of an op amp, what component is used to do this? and what is this called?

A

a suitable resistor across the amp from the output terminal to the inverting input

negative feedback

32
Q

in op amps, how is negative feedback achieved? what is does this produce?

A

by feeding back a fraction of the output signal onto the input signal on the negative “inverting input” terminal.

a closed loop circuit

33
Q

in op amps, what is effected through a closed loop circuit using negative feedback?

A

reduction of the amplifiers gain

Q

in inverting op amps, what are the two very important rules that they follow?

A
  1. no current flows into the input terminals
  2. v1 always equals v2
36
Q

what does the negative sign mean in the closed loop voltage gain equation?

A

output signal being 180 degrees out of phase
due feedback negative in value

37
Q

what is the construction of non-inverting op amp?

A

output voltage connected to the inverting “negative” terminal producing negative feedback.
input voltage connected directly to non-inverting terminal. output gain positive

38
