From dark art to Ah Haaaa. Excellent presentation from someone who clearly knows what he is talking about and how to put it across in simple terms. Thank you.
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
I can't believe I thought electrics were so easy in electronics intro; now my ADHD is getting the best of me. Yet, thank you so much Khan academy for teaching me how these buggers works!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDD
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...
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)
Hey guy, you've made a very good video, because I'm german and the most videos I've shown, I don't understand it, by you're video I understand all! (thumb up :))
Perfect explanation from perfect channel I advise every electrical engineers to subscribe this channel Easier than studying in high schools with sort of boring teachers I hope you always put a link if someone wanna download the videos Thank you sir
Everything in your explanation is perfect, thanks for that but, I disagree with the criteria of taking a ground lead once using all the 8 leads of a 4558, 072, 5552 etc. They have only 8 pins though, there's not always room for that GND configuration. Do you know what I mean?
Loved the video, great explanation. With good and clear use of language. But in the end you say something about a trick and how to look at a symbol but you don't really say what the difference is between the symbols.
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? Thanks.
when the diffrential input is increased negatively,it acts like and inverting input nah? So saturation value should be a positive value (since it gets inverted) but why graph is not as i said?
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.
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...
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.
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!
Nice intro. How do real op amps differ from this ideal linear relationship? And does the frequency of the input signal alter non-linear effects? Are these unpleasantries amplified (pun intended) at saturation?
Hy.Sir, I wanna ask that is the positive power supply always connecred to the non-inverting terminal or it can be the opposite.Just wanna know the power supplying in a little more detail
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".
Great stuff. You never mentioned what the difference was between the op amp diagram that has the inverting symbol at the top vs the one that has it at the bottom though. I guess we will never know =/
I like Sal's voice, too. It would be great if Sal could do every video. I know a little bit more than he does about this kind of opamp circuit, so Sal asked me to make these videos.
Great video! Do anyone knows what kind of tactile board or panel is used in tutorials like this one??? I'm a teacher and i would like to teach this way.

It is always nice to know why things where invented, to better understand the use.
Thanks a lot, your explanation alone pretty much made me understand what an op-amp is :P
If two inputs r equal then there wont b any gain..common mode...then how???

In class I was thinking "Where is the extra energy to increase the voltage coming from!?" - finally answered.
when the diffrential input is increased negatively,it acts like and inverting input nah? So saturation value should be a positive value (since it gets inverted) but why graph is not as i said?
what is inside that triangular shape is important ! but no one shows the internal design of it

why input current is zero for ideal op-amp? why input resistance is infinity?

A+++ explanation.
Somebody happens to know which amplification I get by using rosenstark method? Open or closed loop?
That would be really nice :)
Hi, why are we learning about op-amp in electronic engineering? whats its purpose?
Enlightening. Thank you so much.
I didn't quite got what specifically up/down is ? Their voltage?
there is in general no ground connection or node(as stated in the video) on an op amp. i am surprised at this rather fundamental error
Nice intro. How do real op amps differ from this ideal linear relationship? And does the frequency of the input signal alter non-linear effects? Are these unpleasantries amplified (pun intended) at saturation?
Hy.Sir,
I wanna ask that is the positive power supply always connecred to the non-inverting terminal or it can be the opposite.Just wanna know the power supplying in a little more detail
Why is Bill Murray talking about op-amps?
thank you
Nice well done right from the beginning
I subscribed Thank you
Might be a smaller signal out! (i.e. a negative out with positive input)
Pls how do I get a playlist on basic electronic in your channel. Because I can't find it I saw thousand of list
Nice video
Marvelous . Thanks very much
what can be the inputs(inverting or non-inverting) and what does +ve and -ve input suggest?
How is it different from a transistor?
power 12 dcV is shown.
Why higher /lower input signal ?and output not shown?
what does "and v out can go both positive and negative around ground" mean
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".
can any one suggest me anyother good channels plsss
It verges on the physically impossible??? (Something has to be lost in lieu of gain, i.e., losses?)
What do you mean by V- goes up and Vo goes down??
Thank you!!!! this video helped so much
I've never seen an op-amp with both a negative supply pin AND a ground pin - any examples?
I showed too many pins. Should have omitted the ground pin. Opamps have only two power pins, connected to either +/- V, o,r gnd and +V.
Great stuff. You never mentioned what the difference was between the op amp diagram that has the inverting symbol at the top vs the one that has it at the bottom though. I guess we will never know =/
