Operational Amplifiers

Electric Circuits

This module explores ideal operational amplifiers and introduces their behavior in a circuit. Important op amp applications are discussed including open and closed loop design, and nodal analysis involving op amps. An interactive table explores the different circuits required for different values of amplification to reinforce understanding. Examples are provided including analysis and implementation in MapleSim.
