Op amps are used to generate waveforms, amplify small voltages or currents, and to do mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, integration and differentiation.
Operational amplifiers are popular for a number of reasons.
Unfortunately, real devices do not possess all of these characteristics. The degree to which a real OA acts ideally is governed by its complexity and therefore, is related to its cost. In the first part of this experiment, you will investigate some of the properties of the 741 OA integrated circuit and use it to obtain a variety of useful mathematical functions. In later portions of experiment you will explore frequency dependent amplifiers. The C142L Op Amp boxes.
