The Practical Op-Amp chapter provides information on the practical operational amplifier (op-amp) and an ideal op-amp. The op-amps are single-ended and have a differential input in which information is transmitted electrically on differential pairs. The op-amps can produce dc output offset voltage and this result is caused by the limited values of the input offset voltage, input offset current and input bias current in the op-amps. With the passing of time the values of input offset voltage and input bias current keeps changing. Due to this drawback it is recommended to calibrate the op-amp regularly and use a smaller Continue reading...
