    The "operational amplifier" has two differential inputs and very high gain. Willy describes the symbol and properties of an op-amp. Op-amps are the backbone of analog circuit design.

    basically Op Amps were invented in WW2, because there was a big necessity to electronically direct anti anti-aircraft guns towards german planes, very fast, by the use of radar. The output of an op amp will always change, so as to make the two inputs equal, one input being the radar target, and the gun ends up locking on the target. the difference between the gun's position and the target's position was some kind of input voltage, and as one input tries to match the other, the gun moves and the target is locked, and the two inputs are equal again. it was a very tricky and clever invention that actually has some kind of basic artificial intelligence. After that they were used in navigation system analog computers and so much more, the whole purpose is to perform calculations, all kinds of mathematical calculations. the op amp improved anti airraft firing accuracy to 90%, and it was used in electroncially controlled machine guns, onboard heavy bombers in WW2

    That was really a fabulous explanation that helped me understand op amps better than most of my previous instruction. Thank you! Although I have to point out that you made it more convoluted than necessary when talking about the inverted input signals. It was already self-explanatory saying that the output is proportional to the differential between the two inputs. If the lower input goes up, then naturally there is a smaller difference between the inputs and there will be a smaller output. Also I don't understand why you mentioned the flipped symbol we might see on a drawing. I mean so what is the significance if we do see that symbol? What are we supposed to ascertain from that? Does it have a specific meaning when its flipped? Thanks!

    Great video thank you very much indeed EXCEPT I am very sorry, unless I am mistaken, there is NO separate ground pin on an actual op amp chip. My understanding is that there are typically eight pins on the chip as follows:
    1. Offset Null
    2. Inverting input (v+)
    3. Non-inverting input (v-)
    4. Power -V
    5. Offset Null
    6. Output
    7. Power +V
    8. NC
    Please explain which one of these is the "ground pin" you refer to at 6:54?

    • @willymcallister5852

      The design of opamps is one of the most advanced and sophisticated analog designs there is. Companies go out of their way to not reveal the innards of their chips, going so far as to add fake structures to fool their competitors. You can find "representational" schematics of early opamps like the uA741.

  • @paulfrischknecht3999
    @paulfrischknecht3999 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Correct me if I am wrong: There is no such thing as a "single ended input" or "non-differential" input, at least when we talk about voltage (difference) inputs. A voltage can only ever be measured in relation to another voltage. Therefore all voltage inputs (e.g. digital inputs) of electronic components are differential inputs. It it just by convention and to reduce pin count that we usually measure all voltages against a common "ground" voltage, so that chips with n digital inputs don't need 2n inputs...

    • @willymcallister5852
      @willymcallister5852 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, all voltage measurements require you to probe two points in the circuit. The term "differential" usually means the signal of interest is carried on two wires, a + version and a - version. If one wire goes up, the other goes down. This has the nice effect of doubling the voltage change. (If v+ goes from 0 to 1, and v- goes from 0 to -1, the total difference is 2V.) If you have a differential amplifier and you connect one input to ground you have defeated one of the advantages of the differential design. You would say you are using a "double-ended" amplifier in a "single-ended" application. (willy@spinningnumbers.org)

      Zero input current is a goal when you design an opamp. You will why this is a very useful property when you view the videos on inverting and non-inverting opamp circuits. In real life, it is not possible to achieve 0 input current, but they come remarkably close to the ideal.

      @willymcallister5852 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If the power supply pins are connected to, for example, +12V and -12V then the output of the opamp can swing (close to) those values, perhaps +11.5V to -11.5V. This is the same as saying, "v_out can swing above and below ground".

    i have one correction the current that goes into the op-amp isnt 0 cause if u multiply that by resistivity of the op-amp u get zero. The op-amps resistivty is very high u can say 1 000 000 ohms so the current is close to zero at 1 micro amper or even less ifu say that the resistivity is for example one million--> thats why there almost 0 current there...
