wow such a great demonstration! this is the best explanation of the inverting op amp ive ever seen on youtube

@rbm0307 6 лет назад

+1 @Jordan Schnabel. It is the pedagogical skills of the presenter that can make or break a lecture. There are many people who understand these concepts themselves but very few of those with the skills Bob demonstrates to communicate those concepts in a concise, understandable and entertaining/captivating manner.

@6alecapristrudel 6 лет назад

There it is finally. The most intuitive way to explain inverting opamps.

@richfiles 6 лет назад

Let this be the yardstick by which to measure all op-amp explanations... and to measure op-amp voltages on diagrams. :P

@UpcycleElectronics 6 лет назад

Yeah, anyone trying to understand op amps really needs a practical intuitive understanding first before trying to understand the math. It can also help to play with some crude discreet transistor based op amp circuits to help gain an understanding of what is happening on a fundamental level. This will allow you to probe other parts of the circuit or experiment with JFETs/MOSFETs/Darlington configurations. It's a great excuse to create a sacrificial offering to the Engineerapagan Magic Smoke gods. Then learn KVL as it relates to op amps....Still wrapping my head around that one myself in practice.

The best tutorial on opamps I've ever seen.

@tav9755 4 года назад

Bob, you are an excellent teacher. It is a rare gift and you have it.

@Factory400 6 лет назад

Nice work Bob! You really nailed it on this video. This topic is so hard to explain.

@rostlaur 6 лет назад

The sign of mastering a field is seen when the person can put theory into words that will captivate an audience of any age and level of experience. You get an absolute 10 from me, I wish I could have been a student of yours 40 years ago when I started in electronics.

@mearslab 6 лет назад

This is the best explanation for how opamps work, thank you!

@DrakkarCalethiel 6 лет назад

Thank you for cleaning me up! Never understood this one 100%, it's actually pretty simple when you understand it.

@thegame4027 6 лет назад

Well, thats how it always works. If you understand it, it's simple.

@MrTaz6552 6 лет назад

Brilliant! Best explanation ever!

Dave you did it!!! 500k Subscribers!!! Congratulations and my best wishes for you! You are making a history here.

@clems6989 2 года назад

Great job Bob. That's the most intuitive description I've ever seen of off amp

@thecakeredux 6 лет назад

My eyes involuntarily widened as my brain wrapped itself around the concept of how OpAmps work. This was exactly what I needed to finally understand this. Thanks a lot.

@alimmi9 6 лет назад

Is BobCAD a competing product to DaveCAD? At least it runs on Gardenshed OS, so thats innovative..

@LackoPataj 6 лет назад

I am an engineer student at 6th semester, have not seen such cute opamp so far^^ thx Dave, subscribed :D

@Itzpugs 6 лет назад

Absolutely the best explanation of something that yet still blows over my head.

@MrBroseph19 Год назад

Really hope Bob can get RSD Academy back on youtube!

@GLPRAGMA 6 лет назад

Great Explanation!! The best practical demonstration I ever had on RU-vid. Great Job! I wish you could release another video, diving deep in the internals of a real OpAmp!!

@softdorothy 6 лет назад

I like it when someone takes a novel approach to explaining a concept. You explained several concepts this way and I grokked it all. Excellent.

@isoguy. 6 лет назад

Really detailed presenyation, all tutotials should be like this one. Thanks

@amicklich6729 6 лет назад

Bob, you are obviously a teacher! Well done :)

@ZacDoesCoolStuff 6 лет назад

Wow, I learned more about OpAmps in this short video than I did in 3 years of university, what a great demo.

@BC3012 6 лет назад

That was outstanding 👏👏

@bjarkeistruppedersen8213 6 лет назад

You take something that is complicated, and make it really easy to understand. Not an easy thing to do 🙂

@uwezimmermann5427 6 лет назад

I really like your way to explain the feedback! It is actually a crucial point and I will come back to your way when this topic comes up again with my students this fall.

@Steve_be 6 лет назад

What a brillient way to show hove the op amp works.. I wish it had been that easy when I learnt about it ..

@hrnekbezucha 6 лет назад

Nice way to clear that out. Voltage is just the difference between any two points. And the relationship of input and feedback resistor as a bonus.

@migsvensurfing6310 6 лет назад

Awesome demonstration. I love opamps, so much can so easily be done with them.

@falxonPSN 6 лет назад

Holy ****!!! It's so simple! This is the first time I really "got it". Amazing idea.

@irgski 6 лет назад

Lovely assistant! Thanks Bob. Great visual explanation of the “virtual” subject. My confusion was what happens with an op amp that uses a unipolar power supply like 5V and you kindly explained that as well!

@Sailesh004 Год назад

Why on green Earth I find this video this much lately. Amazing demonstration 🤩

@CrucialMuzic 6 лет назад

Wow where were you back in my electronics days? That was explained very well, thank you!

@AdamTheAd-vanc3d 6 лет назад

Excellent. So easy to grasp when you can actually visualize whats happening in a op amp circuit. I never quite grasped the see saw effect until now . Great educational share .

@electronicsNmore 6 лет назад

Very good video. Congratulations on the 500K! I know it took a while, but you did it. :-)

@flymypg 6 лет назад

Nicely done! I particularly enjoy seeing mechanical (geometrical) analogies used to illustrate simple-but-confusing electrical/electronic concepts. Of course, this must be understood as an illustration, not a definition or explanation. It's still an analogy, though an especially good one, since even the (simplified) math works in both domains.

@Anthony-lr4bk 6 месяцев назад

By far the best explanation ive ever heard!

@brainfornothing 6 лет назад

Good explanation ! Thanks a lot to you and your lovelly assistant, Cheers from the south of Spain !

@stevebliss6056 6 лет назад

Some might find the Op-Amp very intuitive and assume everyone else does, but clearly that is not true. Although I am in the former camp, I absolutely love the brilliantly clear way you explained it. Really nice Bob :)

@juanvarela4006 6 лет назад

Robert, this is my first RU-vid comment ever (and subscription to a channel). I found this awesome video by chance via EEVBlog and after watching it I felt you deserve the feedback. I think you used a very creative way to explain OPAMP's behaviour which makes it very easy to understand. I've also found you have very good cadence and clear speech (english is not my native language) which made me even easier to follow. I can't wait to dig in your channel to find this kind of "treasures".

@micronetwork 6 лет назад

Wow! Bob I'm all in! What a teacher you are. :-)

@trickedouttech321 3 года назад

Best operational description ever, on VG-OP Amp for that fact best ever on any voltage compensation regulating amplifying component. This was great even for those that do have a good understanding of the function of a VG circuited OP Amp. Feel free to create more content. With great understandable content like this. If you not already, you could become a heavy hitter in the electronic educational YT world. For me personally, I had a good understanding of how the VG worked understanding it was not a true zero and that input and output fluctuated to maintain virtual (0) volts. However, your demonstration truly took my knowledge on this topic and created a deeper understanding that could also be visualized. That makes it unforgettable. Great video!

@hughaskew6550 6 лет назад

This is a very clear explanation. Sometimes visuals really do make the difference (and patience doesn't hurt either!)

@xfran70 6 лет назад

Undoubtedly the best way to teach. Great!

@gnather 6 лет назад

I very rarely post a comment ,because I am a raw beginner even at my advanced age. But This video helped me truly understand what was going on in am Op-amp. Dave your explanation was great but I got lost because my fundamentals are laking this was a very easy to understand video and I an now a subscriber to Mr. DuHamel's channel. Thanks for turning me on to him. I will go back now and watch your explanation again with enlightenment..

@1978SOOTY 6 лет назад

Wow, great explanation! I honestly don't think I've ever heard it explained so well, this needs to be shown in our tech schools for a better reference. Thanks to Dave @ EEV, you have another sub.

@ultravidz 6 лет назад

What an epic educator and communicator. Just subscribed to him!

@fastlingo 6 лет назад

Nice, intuitive. It's actually a voltage divider with two variable voltage sources at the ends, the opamp source trying to keep the voltage in the middle at a certain level.

@stuartthegrant 6 лет назад

Very succinctly explained, the output is always inverted.

@utab1987 6 лет назад

Great job! Wonderful analogy.

@samuellourenco1050 6 лет назад

Very complete and thorough explanation! However, an op-amp only tries to compensate the differential voltage at its inputs with the output only if there is negative feedback. This is valid for inverting and non-inverting amplifiers alike. I don't think you mentioned that detail, and it is a very important one. Anyway, this is an excellent video, and thumbs up!

@apexmike849 6 лет назад

I think he was trying to leave out too many things that would amount to, "except in the case of..", which would re-confuse a lot of people.

@samuellourenco1050 6 лет назад

This is not an "except in case of" example, but rather a "only happens in case of". He only had to mention that the op-amp has to have negative feedback. But I do agree that it is a detail, although an important one.

@MarkGovier 6 лет назад

Excellent explanation but the reason the voltage at the inverting input remains zero is due to the fact that the currents reaching that node through the two resistors are equal but opposite. I think current should always be mentioned.
