MCP6002 FAQ

What is op amp used for?

In the most basic circuit, op-amps are used as voltage amplifiers, which can be broadly divided into noninverting and inverting amplifiers. Voltage followers (also simply called buffers) are a type of commonly used noninverting amplifiers. Op-amps are also used as differential amplifiers, integrator circuits, etc.

What is the difference between amplifiers and op-amps?

Amplifiers can be either electronic or mechanical in common definition whereas operational amplifiers are electronic amplifiers. Amplifiers, in general, have a limited capability of amplifying DC signals but all op-amps are capable of amplifying DC signals.

Why op-amps are better than transistors?

An Op Amp is often a much better quality amplifier using discrete components and most wide variety of application then transistor. In comparison with transistor it is building block, need to bias it and put it into a gain configuration. A single transistor can not give you differential gain.
