The output voltage can range from V – to V + (“rails”)
The positive and negative power supply voltages do not have to be equal in magnitude (example: 0V and +3V DC supplies)

5. OP AMP TERMINAL VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS
All voltages are referenced to a common node.
Current reference directions are into the op amp.

6. OP AMP CIRCUIT MODEL (LINEAR REGION)
Ri is the equivalent resistance “seen” at the input terminals, typically very large (>1MW, as large as 1012 W for FET input op-amps), so that the input current is usually very small:
ip = –in  0 ip vp Ro io Ri vo + –
A(vp–vn) in vn
Note that significant output current (io) can flow when ip and in are negligible!
Figure 3

7. POSITIVE FEEDBACK
When we flip the polarization of the op-amp as shown on the figure we will get a positive feedback that saturates the amplifier output. This is not a good idea.
Figure 4

8. POSITIVE FEEDBACK
Whether the output is directly fed back to the inverting (-) input or coupled through a set of components, the effect is the same: the extremely high differential voltage gain of the op-amp will be "tamed" and the circuit will respond according to the dictates of the feedback "loop" connecting output to inverting input.
Figure 5

9. POSITIVE FEEDBACK
Another type of feedback, namely positive feedback, also finds application in op-amp circuits. Unlike negative feedback, where the output voltage is "fed back" to the inverting (-) input, with positive feedback the output voltage is somehow routed back to the noninverting (+) input. In its simplest form, we could connect a straight piece of wire from output to noninverting input and see what happens:

10. POSITIVE FEEDBACK
However, if there exist any anomalies in the waveform such as harmonics or "spikes" which cause the voltage to rise and fall significantly within the timespan of a single cycle, a comparator's output might switch states unexpectedly:
Figure 6

11. NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
Negative feedback is when the output is subtracted from the input.
The use of negative feedback reduces the gain. Part of the output signal is taken back to the input with a negative sign.

12. OP AMP OPERATION WITHOUT NEGATIVE FEEDBACK (COMPARATOR CIRCUITS FOR ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL SIGNAL CONVERSION)
1. Simple comparator with 1 Volt threshold:
 V– is set to 0 Volts (logic “0”)
 V+ is set to 2 Volts (logic “1”)
 A = 100 +  V0
VIN 1V V0
VIN 1 2
If VIN > 1.01 V,
V0 = 2V = Logic “1”
If VIN < 0.99 V,
V0 = 0V = Logic “0”

13. OP AMP CIRCUITS WITH NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
Q: How do we know whether an op-amp is operating in the linear region?
A: We don’t, a priori.
Assume that the op-amp is operating in the linear region and solve for vo in the op-amp circuit.
If the calculated value of vo is within the range from -Vcc to +Vcc, then the assumption of linear operation might be valid. We also need stability – usually assumed for negative feedback.
If the calculated value of vo is greater than Vcc, then the assumption of linear operation was invalid, and the op-amp output voltage is saturated at Vcc.
If the calculated value of vo is less than -Vcc, then the assumption of linear operation was invalid, and the op-amp output voltage is saturated at -Vcc.

14. NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
Negative feedback is used to “linearize” a high-gain differential
amplifier.
