AbstractÐA study is made of the integrated circuit opera- sible. This is done by using a variety of simplified circuit
tional amplifier (IC op amp) to explain details of its behavior models which can be analyzed in some cases by inspection,
in a simplified and understandable manner. Included are or in others by writing just a few equations. These simplified
analyses of thermal feedback effects on gain, basic relation- models are generally developed from the single representa-
ships for bandwidth and slew rate, and a discussion of pole- tive op amp configuration shown in Figures 1 and 2.
