Integrate Amplifier
Can you explain (in simplified English) What is an integrated circuit operational amplifier is it?
Integrated Circuit is a technology that is hundreds, thousands or millions of transistors, diodes and other small electronic components on a tiny silicon substrate. In the first all this time would be major components, separate and connected together. an op amp is a building block for many types of analog circuits (and some functions digital) is an IC that implements a high gain small signal amplifiers. For signal processing - not power your speakers. Small signals are signals representing the voltage and current that number can do for you math. With an op amp, and various configurations, you can do "Calculation in real time, simulating a differentiator and integrator, also a comparator, and many other handy features. The op amp Classic is known as a 741. Look it up for more info.
