What are Opamps?
- What are Opamps and Comparators? Opamps are differential amplifiers that amplify the differential voltage between the positive/negative input pins.
- Op Amp/Comparator Circuit Configurations Generally, opamps are broken up into 3 stages: Input, Gain, and Output.
- Types of Operational Amplifier Op amps can be classified into 3 main types based on the input/output voltage range: Dual Supply, Single Supply, and Rail-to-Rail.
- Noise Characteristics (EMI/EMS) Noise is commonly referred to as EMC, but when used in certain fields it is broken up into two types, EMI and EMS.
- Typical Parameters of Opamps When a voltage is supplied to the input of the amplifier circuit it is multiplied by the amplification factor and appears at the output.
- Absolute Maximum Ratings The absolute maximum rated supply voltage is the maximum voltage that can be supplied between the positive supply (VCC) and negative supply (VEE) pins.
