741 Applications Circuit

Basic Inverting Amplifier Design 

Basic Inverting Amplifier

Example : if R1 = 1000 Ohms and R2 = 10000 Ohms, then Gain is -(10000/1000) or -10.

This is one of the most common OP-AMP circuits. For A Non-Inverted output use the amplifier on the facing page.

example the application of basic inverting amplifier is Unity-Gain Inverter Circuit :

This circuit use as a buffer or to convert -Vout to +Vout

Non-Inverting Amplifier Design

Non-Inverting Amplifier

Example: If R1 = 1000 Ohms and R2=10000 Ohms, then Gain is 1 + (10000/1000) or 11

Note that Vout is an Amplified but not inverted version of Vin.

Example of Non-Inverting Amplifier application is Unity-Gain Follower circuit.

Use to buffer signal from another circuit
