Ok, off topic question about schematics and Op Amps. I have seen a lot of schematics that involve Op Amps, yes they seem to make the world go 'round. I am no expert on schematics. but one thing is troubling me. I see these lovely OpAmps connected with the + input, - input and the output. Many times I don't see any other connections. Now I am pretty sure that these things take V+ and V- (to the chip) to make them run, but they don't show on the schematics. Are these connections just assumed? Or are there real ways to use OpAmps with just the 2 inputs and the output with no power applied? Thanks in advance for the answers. Bruce
