1.4. Diagram

An Op-Amp has at least 5 pins :
V+ is the non-inverting input
V- is the inverting input.

Picture of the op-amp.

This integrated circuit has 2 op-amps.
2 pins are used for the power-supply voltage.
Each op-amp uses 3 pins for V+, V- and Vs.

Usually, in order to simplify the diagrams, the power supply is not represented.

Indeed, the following two diagrams are used to represent the op-amp.

In the followings, either diagram will be used interchangeably.
