Working Principles

The MAX941CPA is an operational amplifier that amplifies the difference between its two input terminals. It operates by using a feedback mechanism to maintain the voltage at the inverting input terminal equal to the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal, multiplied by the amplifier's gain. This allows it to amplify small input signals with high precision.
