Key Terms

Operational Amplifier
A high-gain voltage amplifier with differential inputs and a single-ended output.

Example: Op-amps are used in audio amplifiers.

Differential Input
The input configuration that amplifies the difference between two input voltages.

Example: Differential inputs help reduce noise.

Feedback Loop
A circuit path that feeds a portion of the output back to the input.

Example: Negative feedback stabilizes the gain.

Gain
The ratio of output voltage to input voltage in an amplifier.

Example: An op-amp can have a gain of 1000.

Output Stage
The final stage of an op-amp that drives the load.

Example: The output stage can drive speakers.

Power Supply
The source of electrical power for the op-amp.

Example: Op-amps require a dual power supply for operation.
