Once again, you have managed to explain a complex subject in easy to understand examples. Thank you so much for your videos, they really are very informative and helpful.
One objection to your last application. The idea sounds great. But the resistance of the ADC input is in mega ohms like a voltmeter. The rsistance of a mile of wires could be in 100s of ohms which is neglectable to the ADC's. The noise on the lines however will not let you measure the current accurately. These days the data transmission lines have become differential despite the short application distances. One of the great applicantion of opamps is in differential transmission which i believe you were getting to next in the future.
Most informative video on op amps I've ever seen! It's a shame this video doesn't allow me the option of adding to a playlist, or even to watch later, so I can remember to watch it again. This video answers questions that I've had for decades!
general-purpose operational amplifiers (op-amps) can be used as comparators in certain applications. While op-amps are primarily designed for amplification and signal conditioning, they can also be used as comparators in certain cases where the speed and accuracy requirements are not critical. Op-amps have high gain and are designed to operate in a linear mode, where the output voltage is proportional to the input voltage. However, they can be used as comparators by configuring them in an open-loop configuration, where the feedback loop is not used. In this configuration, the op-amp operates in a saturated mode, where the output voltage swings to its maximum positive or negative value based on the input voltage comparison. Using an op-amp as a comparator has some limitations compared to dedicated comparator ICs. Op-amps may have slower response times and higher offset voltages, which can affect the accuracy and speed of the comparison. Additionally, op-amps may not have hysteresis, which is a feature commonly found in dedicated comparators to prevent oscillation when the input voltages are close. Therefore, while op-amps can be used as comparators in certain applications, it is generally recommended to use dedicated comparator ICs for precise and high-speed voltage comparisons.
Wow. The LM741 OP-AMP is a wonderful old time device to learn and study many examples. It is a good op-amp to make designs with, as other devices become obsolete the LM741 is still around. 😎 Thank you for the great info.
this video was a breakthrough experience for me. thanks to it i was able to use a microwave motion detector's reference and output voltages with a 741 as a comparator. thank you.
@@elewizard too right mr wizard. for me you are up there with the famous people, like bigclive or mehdi. i love the way you always include fairly simple examples in your vids.
The problem with the differential amplifier used at 44:22 to amplify the load cell is that a gain of 10,000 is very ambitious using an ordinary opamp. The input offset voltage of an LM741 can be as much as 5mV, which if you multiply it by 10,000 will certainly drive the opamp to one of the rails. In addition, its open loop gain can be as small as 50,000 leading to very little feedback for linearising the output. Finally, the circuit you built uses a single supply rail of 5V but the differential amp really requires a dual supply to function properly without creating a virtual ground. More modern opamps can improve on that considerably, but you really should be noting that very specialised opamps are needed to successfully work with such large gains.
thank you, i wanted to know how to measure teensy weensy tiney bitsy currents and ran away when heard to use an op-amp because it sounded complicated, not so much now.
I had to watch the video a few times but im starting to understand better now, have some more questions like that 1k divider network for the shunt example, is that because youre trying to cut the supply voltage to the op amp in half as well? You mention the source voltage for the op amp maybe to high , i assume this was the solution. Anyway thanks again for the useful examples and i like seeing the powersupply you made in use all the time. I made a simliar one with a buck converter and amp meter but wouuld like to add a current contorll. Apparenly theres an easy mod to that 2amp buck converter (lm something something) everyone uses. I think it uses and op amp to do it, yeah it does. Would be cool if you would upgrade yours and show us that mod works in more detail, the videos ive seen just have dance music, albeit the connections are clear, id like to know whats going on you know? czcams.com/video/iwnanQsR32Y/video.htmlsi=HW4IcL-GYewCpuXZ Thanks again this is my only education in electronics so I appreciate all the information. @@elewizard
Excellent information as usual. One request. Can you please create video on IC 555 and its inner working principles and application. Thanks and appreciate your work.
Please do create a playlist for these videos. Although I know the basic working of most of the components, I have never inplemented in a real project. Thank you
Differential and intergrator would have been nice to classify in presentation. I'm only in the beginning so excuse me if you eventually do classify them lol.
Stunning video. Much obliged. I understand it may differ application to application, however, for reference purposes, what (short) list of Op-Amp's you would recommend to keep in our inventories? Thanks,.
The LM324 is also specialized. It is mainly intended to be used in single supply applications. Without special consideration it will produce cross-over distortion in dual supply applications.
Thank you! It's the best video I've ever seen about op-amps. I would be glad if you could create more content on op-amps, covering topics like filters, impedance converters, or even ECG.
Excellent! Looking forward to future vids. Please explain more about open collector op amps (pros, cons, calcs and considerations), and also introduce more modern op-amps
You are an exceptional teacher. I am consistently amazed at how effortlessly you explain complex topics. I wish you could have been my electronic professor during college. Thank you so much!
Zero point sixty nine & zero point seventy two and more crap spoken about the differential o/p. How anybody can believe they are any good at teaching electronics when they themselves have'nt yet learnt the very basics of being able to count is crazy. There are NO tens or hundreds or thousands to the right of the dp. Stop until you have learnt how to count properly.
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, ~1. Corinthians 15:1-4 God bless you brother!
The real-world application explanations are really great!
Yes, examples make concepts very easy to understand 👍
By far the best video and clearest explanation of these "mysterious" chips. Thanks!
Wow, thanks! It's comments like yours that make creating content so fulfilling.
An exceptional ability to explain something complex and teach actual understanding through examples.

Is it a restriction from my channel?
@elewizard Pretty sure this is user error, I had no issues adding the video to my playlist.
@@elewizardIt's most likely YT punishing me for having an ad blocker installed.
@@flomojo2uWhich ad blocker do you use? When I have ABP running a lot of features on YT don't work.
Your examples of applying the use of the devices is very good!! Thank you for the great content! I hope you continue to grow your channel.
I hope so too! Thank you so much ❤️
Brilliant - Very good presentation. Thank you
Thank you, for watching ❤️
Hey, You're video is really great, i can now finally understand op amps

Thanks a million! Your support is awesome.

Glad to hear that, it is my pleasure to help you, cheers 🥂
Did you use LM741 or UA741 to read the current?
It's a UA741
what about the offset or zero drift capability?@@elewizard
I quick question: At 44:37 you used 10 MOhm and 1 kOhm, to 10k gain. What if you use 100Ohm and 1MOhm ?
The gain will be the same, you will get 10,000x.
The moral of the story is: an I2V converter is much easier to build than a V2I converter.
Yes 😁
