In summary, the conversation discusses using a ua741 opamp to obtain a high gain output on one of the inputs. It is advised to always use a DC source to power the opamp. The datasheet provided is helpful in understanding the absolute max rating. The output depends on the input, whether it is DC or AC. The equation Vout=66v1+1100v2+550v3 is mentioned, and it is noted that the opamp output can only reach as high as the supply voltage. The conversation also mentions the use of +/- 12 volts to power the opamp and using 1v DC at each input to achieve a Vout of 11.66v.

I am designing a circuit using ua741 opamp to obtain a gain, in order to get a output on one of the inputs such as V1 should I ground the other two inputs and have a 0 voltage on ac or dc and also should I use ac or dc source because the professor did not specify..

in this single or dual op amp? ALWAYS use DC source to power op amp.

the datasheet should be helpful

Connect the way you want for the gain (ie: inverting/non-inverting etc...)
thanks for the help..
the gain is high so which input should i choose to get 66v1+1100v2+550v3

i know to power opamp i use dc.. but at the input should i use the dc or ac source and based on my calculations i got 66v1+1100v2+550v3
what should i use for v1,v2,v3.. if dc what should the value be and if ac what should the value be at these nodes.

what are you trying to accomplish? are you trying to get Vout = 66v1+1100v2+550v3? What output do you want? DC?AC? AC+DC? Your output depends on input.

v1, v2 and v3 are inputs. you can put in anything and get some output based on the gain of the system. if you put in AC then you have some sine equation as v1.

i suppose if the equation vout = 66v1+1100v2+550v3, then that's your answer. Your op amp output can only put out so much as you supply it with. If you use +5V supply, Vout cannot be >5V because the op amp is clamp at 5V. If you supply +12V then it is clamp at +12V. Also if you put AC as input you will need a negative power supply.

Datasheet list the absolute max rating. Hope this helps

I know it gets clamped.. I used +/- 12volts to power the opamp
and used 1v dc each at v1,v2,v3 so i got vout as 11
 

FAQ: VWhat output should I expect from my operational amp circuit using UA741?

What is an operational amplifier (op-amp)?

An operational amplifier, also known as op-amp, is an electronic component that amplifies the difference between two input voltages. It has a very high gain, high input impedance, and low output impedance, making it suitable for a variety of applications in analog circuits.

How do I choose the right op-amp for my design?

When selecting an op-amp, the most important characteristics to consider are the gain, bandwidth, input and output impedance, and supply voltage. You should also consider the specific requirements of your application, such as noise rejection and temperature range.

Can I use an op-amp in both inverting and non-inverting configurations?

Yes, an op-amp can be used in both inverting and non-inverting configurations. In the inverting configuration, the output voltage is inverted and amplified compared to the input voltage. In the non-inverting configuration, the output voltage is not inverted and is amplified by a factor determined by the feedback resistors.

How do I analyze and troubleshoot an op-amp circuit?

To analyze an op-amp circuit, you can use the basic rules of op-amp circuits, such as the virtual ground and the golden rules. Troubleshooting an op-amp circuit involves checking the input and output voltages, examining the feedback loop, and checking for any faulty components.

What are some common applications of op-amps?

Op-amps have a wide range of applications, including amplification, filtering, oscillation, and signal conditioning. They are commonly used in audio and video equipment, sensors, instrumentation, and control systems.
