Operational Amplifier Applications Unit 1 – Introduction to the Circuit Board
This symbol represents the signal generator connected to each circuit block input. The dotted
lines indicate that it is not permanently wired to the circuit, so you must make the connections
yourself.
Two-post connectors are used to change circuit configurations.
NEW TERMS AND WORDS
Attenuator - a circuit that reduces a signal's amplitude.
Attenuation - the reduction of a signal's amplitude.
decouple - to use capacitors to bypass (provide a low ac impedance path to circuit common) the
power supply lines of an amplifier.
