Q.Draw the block diagram of op-amp.
[!TLDR]
An op-amp is internally a cascade of four blocks: input differential amplifier, intermediate gain stage, level shifter and push-pull output stage.
An operational amplifier is a multistage, direct-coupled amplifier. The first block is a dual-input differential amplifier that receives the inverting and non-inverting inputs and provides high gain and high input impedance. The second is an intermediate stage that adds further voltage gain. Because direct coupling raises the DC level, a level-shifting (translator) stage restores the quiescent output to zero. Finally a push-pull (complementary) output stage provides low output impedance and adequate current drive.
[!ANSWER]
Block sequence: Input differential amplifier → Intermediate gain stage → Level shifter → Push-pull output stage, with (−) and (+) inputs feeding the first stage and taken from the output stage.
