Linear

Introduction
A linear IC is a solid-state analog device characterized by a theoretically infinite number of possible operating states. It operates over a continuous range of input levels. Within a certain input range, the amplification curve of a linear IC is a straight line; the input and output voltages are directly proportional.
The best known, and most common, linear IC is the operational amplifier, which consists of resistors, diodes, and transistors in a conventional analog circuit. There are two inputs, called inverting and non-inverting. A signal applied to the inverting input results in a signal of opposite phase at the output.
A signal applied to the non-inverting input produces a signal of identical phase at the output. A connection, through a variable resistance, between the output and the inverting input is used to control the amplification factor.
