Op Amps (Operational Amplifiers) are versatile semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) designed to amplify weak electrical signals across both linear and non-linear applications. These ICs feature two input terminals (inverting and non-inverting) and one output, which allows them to perform a range of functions. An op-amp functions as an amplification and filtering and can even perform mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, and integration in analogue circuits. Op amps are essential building blocks in countless electronic circuits and are known for their low output impedance, high gain and high input impedance.
