what is the difference between an op-amp and a transistor?

Transistor: A discrete semiconductor device. Op-amp: A functional module consisting of multiple transistors and resistors and capacitors. ... Difference: A transistor is a single device, while an op amp is a functional module composed of multiple components. (The op amp contains multiple transistors.)

Transistor Output is a solid state configuration which can work at a fast rate. Relays are more electromechanical so they are slow. If you need to drive more current with the transistor output, you can always use a solid state relay.

Input bias current: It is the dc current which is required by the inputs of amplifiers to operate the corresponding first stage. Input offset current: The difference between input bias currents is called as input offset current. It is represented by .

By switching one considers to change the state of the transistor from something similar to a closed switch (closed, or ON state) for something similar to an open switch (open, or OFF state). There are two main families of transistors — bipolar and FET — and their speed is affected by quite different factors.

This is where BJTs have an advantage. BJTs have greater transconductance, meaning you are able to get more current output per unit power applied. The transconductance of FETs is much lower. So if you use the same amount of power at the input for both a BJT and FET transistor, the BJT transistor will produce more gain.

The amp is essentially the machine that takes the signal input, it's what translates the sound your instrument creates. The pa is the speaker, it takes the signal from the AMP and replays it as the sound that you actually hear.

The acronym of the BJT is Bipolar Junction Transistor and FET stands for Field Effect Transistor. ... The major difference between BJT and FET is that, in a field effect transistor only majority charge carries flows, whereas in BJT both majority and minority charge carriers flows.

Whenever we observe the terminals of a BJT and see that the emitter-base junction is not at least 0.6-0.7 volts, the transistor is in the cutoff region. In cutoff, the transistor appears as an open circuit between the collector and emitter terminals. As is seen in 2, this implies Vout is equal to 10 volts.

An operational amplifier only responds to the difference between the voltages on its two input terminals, known commonly as the “Differential Input Voltage” and not to their common potential. Then if the same voltage potential is applied to both terminals the resultant output will be zero.

transistor goes to active region. in active region transistor gives the actual replica of signal at the collector as shown. voltage amplifier increase only the voltage level of signal. ... as compared to power amplifier less heat generates as it minimizes the current at some extent.

Voltage-Feedback operational amplifiers (VFA op amps) allow circuit designers to swap gain for bandwidth. current-feedback op amps (CFAs) are simpler to use than VFAs, but do not offer gain-bandwidth tradeoffs, and have poorer slew rates.

The main difference between the two types of transistors is that holes are the more important carriers for PNP transistors, whereas electrons are the important carriers for NPN transistors. Then, PNP transistors use a small base current and a negative base voltage to control a much larger emitter-collector current.

The main difference between the JFET and a BJT device is that when the JFET junction is reverse-biased the Gate current is practically zero, whereas the Base current of the BJT is always some value greater than zero.

As we said before, transistors are DC components. This means that the output will also be a DC voltage. But if we amplify an AC voltage, then we probably want to get an AC voltage at the output as well.

The crucial difference between voltage amplifier and power amplifier is that a voltage amplifier increases the voltage level of the applied input signal. As against, a power amplifier is the one that boosts the power level of the input signal.

An Operational Amplifier, or op-amp for short, is fundamentally a voltage amplifying device designed to be used with external feedback components such as resistors and capacitors between its output and input terminals.

When the transistor is operating as an amplifier, the device is operating as a transconductor, a VCCS (voltage controlled current source). When you use a transistor as a switch, it is either fully conducting or fully off. It is still amplifying a small signal, but it's being used to amplify a digital signal.
