Ken Shirriff's blog looks inside the famous 741 OPMAP and discuss how it's made and how it's working: The 741 op amp is one of the most famous and popular ICs[1] with hundreds of millions sold since its invention in 1968 by famous IC designer Dave Fullagar. In this article, I look at...
Continue ReadingIntroduction to OPAMPs and Applications
Operational amplifiers (OPAMPs) are high performance differential amplifiers in integrated form that can be used in many different ways. A typical OPAMP has a non-inverting input, an inverting input, two dc power pins, one output pin and a few other fine-tuning pins. On the following...
