Brief Description
An LM741 operational amplifier is a DC-coupled high gain electronic voltage amplifier. It
has only one op-amp inside. An operational amplifier IC is used as a comparator which
compares the two signal, the inverting and non-inverting signal. The main function of this IC
is to do mathematical operation in various circuits. Op-amps have large gain and usually used
as Voltage Amplifier. The LM741 can operate with a single or dual power supply voltage.

OUTPUT Voltage = Gain * Input Voltage

An op-amp can be used in two ways:

1. Inverting Op-amp
When input source is connected to inverting terminal PIN 2 and feedback with the output
PIN 6 then the op-amp is in inverting condition. Like if PIN 2 is having +ve polarity then
we will get –ve polarity of output from PIN 6.

GAIN = Rf/R1
2. Non-inverting Op-amp
When input source is connected to non-inverting terminal PIN 3 and PIN 2 is feedback with
the output PIN 6 then the op-amp is in non-inverting condition. Like if PIN 3 is having +ve
polarity then we will get +ve polarity of output from PIN 6.

GAIN = 1+ (Rf/R1)

Working Concept
When voltage at non-inverting input (+) is higher than the voltage at inverting input (-), then
the output of comparator is HIGH. And if the voltage of inverting input (-) is Higher than
non-inverting end (+), then output is LOW. The output of the operational amplifier is the
product of the gain and the input voltage.
