out of an op amp for a given slew rate and peak voltage.
The output short circuit current of 741 op amp.

It is defined as its ability to amplify differential input signals while

attenuating or rejecting common mode signals.
Typical CMRR of 741 op amp.
OP AMP CIRCUITS
Most op amp uses ____________ feedback.
It reduces the overall voltage gain of the op amp circuit.
Type of amplifier in which the input and output signals are 180 out of
phase when input voltage is applied to the inverting (-) input terminal.
It provides the negative feedback of inverting amplifier, which in turn
controls the circuits overall voltage gain.
Type of op amp circuit in which the input signal drives the non-inverting
input terminal of the op amp.
For the non-inverting amplifier circuit, the input and output signals are
always ___________.
The op amp circuit connected to provide a voltage gain of one, or unity.
Voltage follower provides no voltage gain because op amp circuits will
______ the voltage source for the load.
THREE- TERMINAL IC VOLTAGE REGULATORS
ICs feature when the internal temperature of the chip reaches a
certain temperature, the regulator shuts down and prevents the chip
from getting any hotter.
The range of load current of IC voltage regulators.
The popular series of three-terminal IC voltage regulators.
To ensure proper operation of a three-terminal IC voltage regulator, the
unregulated DC input voltage must always be at least ________ higher
than its regulated DC output voltage.
This IC has 1.25V reference voltage between its output terminal and
adjustment terminal.
555 TIMERS
A very popular IC used in timing circuits.
Range of supply voltage of 555 timers.
This circuit will produce a single output pulse when a trigger input
pulse is applied.
True or false: in monostable operation, the larger the RC time constant,
the greater the length of the output pulse.
In this circuit, the capacitor voltage is initially 0V when power is
