5 . 3 The Summing-Point Constraint 2. Operational Amplifiers 4 Operational amplifiers are almost always used with negative feedback, in which part of the op- amp output signal is returned to the input in opposition to the source signal. Ideal op-amp circuits are analyzed by the following steps: Verify that the negative feedback is present. Usually this takes the form of a resistor network connected to the output terminal and to the inverting input terminal. Assume that the differential input voltage and the input current of the op amp are forced to zero. (This is summing - point constraint.) Apply standard circuit analysis principles, such as Kirchhoff’s laws and Ohm’s law, to solve for the quantities of interest. ε

5.9 Op-amp Imperfections in the Linear Range of Operation Input Impedance and Output Impedance Input impedance BJT input stage: > 100k , typically few M ; FET input stage: ~10 12 Output impedance: ~100 or less. If the gain the Op Amp is high, the influence of the input and output impedance is small. 2. Operational Amplifiers 11 The nonideal characteristics of real op amps fall into three categories: Nonideal properties in the linear range of operation. Nonlinear characteristics. DC offsets.
Gain and Bandwidth Limitations When the Op Amp is included in a feedback loop in order to realise a finite gain amplifier, the bandwidth of the finite gain amplifier is extended proportionally to the feedback.

5.10 Large Signal Operation Output Voltage Swing Output Current Limits The maximum that an Op Amp can supply to a load is restricted. For A741 this limitation is 25mA. If a small-value load resistance drew a current outside this limits, the output waveforme would become clipped. For a real op amp, clipping occurs if the output voltage reaches certain limits. For A741: If the supply voltages are +15V and –15V the amplitude of the output voltage without clipping is 14V typically (guaranteed is 12V). 2. Operational Amplifiers 13
