Pin identification of 741 Op Amp and its application as inverting amplifier.

741 Operational Amplifier (Op Amp) The op-amp is an important electronic device and it can be used as a circuit building block by focusing on its terminal behavior. It can be combined with resistors to perform some very useful functions, like scaling, summing, sign changing, and subtraction. Then by adding inductors and capacitors, the op-amp can be used to design integrating and differentiating circuits. Pin Identification LM 741 op-amp's appearance and pin identification are shown below. The op-amps is example of 8-pin DIP (dual in-line package) analog integrated circuits (ICs).

By industry convention, Pin 1 is the top pin to the left of the notch (see Figures below). Sometimes there is a small white dot denoting pin 1. The pins are counted down the left side from pin 1, then across the bottom and up until the last pin on the right of the notch is reached. This is the industry convention for any DIP integrated circuit (IC) regardless of how many pins there are.

The function of Pins are described as below. Pin 1- Offset Null Pin 2 - The inverting input Pin 3 - The non-inverting input Pin 4 - The negative power supply (-VCC) Pin 5 - Offset Null Pin 6 - the output Pin 7 - the positive power supply (+VCC) Pin 1- Not connected

Active devices Op-amps are active devices because they require external energy sources in order to function. Therefore, the correct level of +VCC and -Vcc must supplied to the op-amp for proper operation.

The relationship between the output voltage, Vout and the input voltage to the circuit, V1 is Vout = -(Rf /R1)V1 In this case, Rf = 10 k, R1 = 1 k, and Vout = -10V1, or we have a voltage gain, G = 10, and then Vout = -GV1 = -10sin(2000t) volts. Where V1 = sin(2000t) volts
