Inverting and Non-inverting Amplifier Design Using Op-Amps
October 2008
This article discusses simulation results for both inverting and non-inverting amplifiers, using the uA741 op-amp. Additionally, the article highlights how overall amplifier performance is affected by the gain and bandwidth limitations of the op-amp, as illustrated by PSpice simulations. The uA741 operational amplifier is discussed because it is included in most versions of PSpice, so you can easily repeat the simulations on your own...
