Op-AmpAn active circuit element designed to perform

mathematical operations of addition, subtraction,

multiplication, division, differentiation and integration.
(Textbook)
High performance linear amplifier that requires a power
source to operate.
GainAmount of amplification produced by an Op-Amp. Gain is
independent from the supply voltage (power given for the
Op-Amp to operate).

Open-Loop ModeFunction of an Op-Amp when the feedback resistor (Rf) is

zero. The Op-Amp operates as a comparator and not as a
linear amplifier.
ComparatorCompares the V and +V inputs to see which is greater
and returns a result.
BandwidthThe range of frequency at which an Op-Amp will function.
(Ideal = )

Input Offset VoltageEven when there is no input voltage the Op-Amp gives off
a small voltage. This can be canceled out by use of the
Offset Null pin on the chip.
(Non-Ideal)
Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)- Ability of an
Op-Amp to reject a signal applied to both inputs
simultaneously.
Slew Rate (V/s)Amount of time it takes for the Op-Amp to step to
another voltage level. (Non-Ideal)

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) (%)Percent Error of an Op-Amp. Amount of deviation from the
ideal output signal. (Non-Ideal)
Large Amount of TMD

applications and can be used
when a signal needs to be
modified, amplified or
compared.
