In this video, I design some circuits utilizing the humble LM741. I show you how to analyze op amp circuits and how we can use them to create a split rail supply. We also look at the use of the op amp as a buffer as well as a comparator. This is an ongoing part of our back-to-basics building blocks series. The magic is that each building block can be used separately and you should be able to see these individual blocks as well as how they fit in as a whole without much hassle. The math has also been simplified to help you get out of the starting blocks flying. πŸ‘ I hope you enjoyed this video and that you found it useful.

In this video, I take a small problem and we design an alternative solution using transistors to demonstrate how simple these devices can be to incorporate into your design. Besides being one of the basic building blocks of modern day electronics - they can be found everywhere.
