AI Thread Summary
When designing a circuit with the UA741 op-amp, it is essential to use a DC source for powering the op-amp. The choice between AC or DC inputs depends on the desired output; if AC is used, a negative power supply is necessary. The output voltage is limited by the power supply voltage, meaning it cannot exceed the supplied voltage levels. For the specific equation Vout = 66V1 + 1100V2 + 550V3, using 1V DC for each input yielded an output of 11V. The op-amp's datasheet provides crucial information regarding maximum ratings and configurations.

I am designing a circuit using ua741 opamp to obtain a gain, in order to get a output on one of the inputs such as V1 should I ground the other two inputs and have a 0 voltage on ac or dc and also should I use ac or dc source because the professor did not specify..

in this single or dual op amp? ALWAYS use DC source to power op amp.

the datasheet should be helpful

Connect the way you want for the gain (ie: inverting/non-inverting etc...)
thanks for the help..
the gain is high so which input should i choose to get 66v1+1100v2+550v3

i know to power opamp i use dc.. but at the input should i use the dc or ac source and based on my calculations i got 66v1+1100v2+550v3
what should i use for v1,v2,v3.. if dc what should the value be and if ac what should the value be at these nodes.

what are you trying to accomplish? are you trying to get Vout = 66v1+1100v2+550v3? What output do you want? DC?AC? AC+DC? Your output depends on input.

v1, v2 and v3 are inputs. you can put in anything and get some output based on the gain of the system. if you put in AC then you have some sine equation as v1.

i suppose if the equation vout = 66v1+1100v2+550v3, then that's your answer. Your op amp output can only put out so much as you supply it with. If you use +5V supply, Vout cannot be >5V because the op amp is clamp at 5V. If you supply +12V then it is clamp at +12V. Also if you put AC as input you will need a negative power supply.

Datasheet list the absolute max rating. Hope this helps

I know it gets clamped.. I used +/- 12volts to power the opamp
and used 1v dc each at v1,v2,v3 so i got vout as 11
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
