This video uses the Jim Harris method of solving Op Amp circuits which requires virtually no math background, only a rough knowledge of Ohm's Law and Kirchoff's Law.

    OK, OK! It was my first one! I will do some more and have already started a positive feedback version. Stay tuned!
  • Ok, this is PURE GOLD, to me at least. This is the simplest explanation ever I heard.
  • @saisivaram94
    In 10 minutes, you made me understand what I couldn't in 4 years of engineering! OpAmps no longer look like magic to me!! You are brilliant, Sir. I can never thank you enough.
  • Sir, you helped me overcome 25 years of dread for op-amps... i can never thank you enough.
  • @rhettscal
    Great tutorial! I went out and bought a HP6235 power supply just so I could recreate this lesson. It makes so much more sense now. Thanks Dan.
  • Thank you very much! Up till now I just remembered the formulas for different types of basic opamp circuits, but now I actually understand where they came from and am able to tackle more complecated circuits.
  • @markhorton8578
    Brilliant, very clear, a good speed, a good amount of repetition/variance. Wish this was around when I was learning.

    This is the best intuitive analysis of an Op Amp circuit I've seen. No complex math, just an understanding of a few simple concepts. The rules of an ideal Op Amp, Ohm's Law, and Kirchoff's voltage and current laws.
  • Really great explanation of working through this op-amp circuit. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this. Cheers
  • @ERJLifer
    +[Dan Bullard] , you sir were the first one to break it down easy enough for me to understand this, thank you very much

    Superb explanation!  This came at a good time for me, I just finished my Op-Amps class and I'm still wrestling with the circuit analysis.  I've been falling back on the algebra formulas, but they don't provide real understanding.  The steps 1, 2 and "3 with a twist" are great.  Your approach, using the three op amp rules and Kirchoff's Law, provides clear and easy to visualize insight.  I've looked at many op-amp tutorials, and this is my favorite, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

    For some reason, this video I stumbled upon at 3am on (another) sleepless night has just hit the spot. You always just find these videos that either repeat things you already know, or are beyond comprehension complicated and you are lost in the first two minutes. There are always these thoughts where I think „yeah it probably works like that“ but I just never really believe it until someone says it out. This Video cleared a LOT of those up. Thank you so, so much.
  • Posted 8 years ago and it is more helpful than other sources i have been read and watched. Thank for this video I learned a lot about op amp
  • @canhnguyen7421
    Thank you for comming and sharing with me ! Thank one million !
  • @jeffanheier2775
    This guy helped me understand this in 4 minutes, vs my professor who teaches this in an hour and you are still confused afterward. Thank you sir, will be coming back to see more videos!
  • @emorag
    That was extremely clear and helpful. Thanks for posting this video.
  • @alogwe1
    Great video Dan! You are really good at teaching these concepts in a simple and elegant manner. Thank you for making this, please make more!
  • @memirandawong
    I wish you had more of these, but then again, this video was a quantum leap in my understanding of op amps
  • This is priceless interview material. In several job interviews I've been asked to analyze the large-signal behavior of different opamps circuits with no equations and this technique has helped me A LOT! Thanks for posting Dan!

    I usually never write comments on youtube videos but this was a great video.  It made so much sense and it made something that looks complicated seem very simple. Thank you so much!!! I have gained back some confidence in my circuit solving skills.  You should make more circuit solving videos, a video on how to design op amps according to a specification would be great.
