Re: Transistor vs op-amp

On this topic, does anyone know which one generally tends to have less noise? a transistor or an op-amp? for simplicity purposes lets say an inverting op-amp.

Hi,
Both Transistor and op-amp can amplify gain but which one is more preferable and why?
Thanks

Transistor vs op-amp

op-amp include many transitor so may be op-amp will create more noise than transitor. But just only though, not verified yet!

Re: Transistor vs op-amp

how can one be better then the otherthe end result is the same they both amplfy. Now if he would have said something about application then all these arguments will be valid. My final word
