Setting up a differentiating operational amplifier circuit is pretty easy but it may be a challenge to understand how it will act and why. As one could assume from the name, a differentiator takes the voltage input and outputs the derivative, showing the changes of an input signal. In this tutorial, Josh reviews op-amp differentiators, goes over their setup, derives the math equation that describes their usage, and shows a few examples of practical inputs and outputs using an oscilloscope.
