 Objectives:

Upon the completion of this topic the student will

be able to know
• The basic applications of operational amplifier

AEI505.15 2
 Linear applications

• Adder

• Sub tractor

• Voltage to current converter

AEI505.15 3
 Linear applications

• Current to voltage converter

• Instrumentation amplifier

• Analog computation

• Power amplifier

AEI505.15 4
• An op amp perform mathematical operations such as

scale changer addition and subtraction

• An instrumentation amplifier amplify low level signals

which are obtained by sensing with a transducer

AEI505.15 5
 Applications

• In the measurement of physical quantities like

temperature, water flow etc….

• Op-amp can be used for amplifying both AC and DC

inputs.

• A capacitively coupled amplifier is used for amplifying ac

signal

AEI505.15 6
 Applications

• The V-to-I converters are useful in low voltage DC and AC

voltmeter ,LED and zener diode testers

• The V-to-I converters are used for testing photo devices

AEI505.15 7
Op-amp may be used to perform functions such as

• Log,

• Antilog,

• To Multiply or divide signals

AEI505.15 8
• The op-amp integrator and differentiator are useful

signal wave shaping

• Integrators are used in analog computers as the gain of

Integrator decreases with increasing frequency

• Hence signals to noise ratio of integrator is higher then

that of differentiator

AEI505.15 9
Monolithic audio power amplifiers with built in heat sink
are available

The operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) out put

a current proportional to its input voltage .

OTA as are used to build programmable gain voltage

amplifiers , voltage controlled resistance ,neural networks
etc….
