These polarity markings have nothing to do with the supply connections\u2014they indicate the\u00a0overall phase shift between each input and the output. The \u201c+\u201d sign indicates zero phase shift while the \u201c-\u201d sign indicates 180\u00b0 phase shift. Since 180\u00b0 phase shift produces an inverted waveform, the \u201c-\u201d input is often referred to as the\u00a0<em>inverting input<\/em>. Similarly, the \u201c+\u201d input is known as the\u00a0<em>non-inverting<\/em>\u00a0input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"P0060\">Most (but not all) operational amplifiers require a symmetrical supply (of typically \u00b16\u00a0V to \u00b115\u00a0V) which allows the output voltage to swing both positive (above 0\u00a0V) and negative (below 0\u00a0V).\u00a0Figure 11.3\u00a0shows how the supply connections would appear if we decided to include them. Note that we usually have two separate supplies; a positive supply and an equal, but opposite, negative supply. The common connection to these two supplies (i.e., the 0\u00a0V supply connection) acts as the\u00a0<em>common rail<\/em>\u00a0in our circuit. The input and output voltages are usually measured relative to this rail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learning.oreilly.com\/api\/v2\/epubs\/urn:orm:book:9781856175289\/files\/images\/F000111gr3.jpg\" alt=\"image\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Figure 11.3<\/strong>&nbsp;Supply connections for an operational amplifier<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The symbol for an operational amplifier is shown in\u00a0Figure 11.2.
