Jesz, any common operational amplifier will work ok at +5V.=20 Take for example the oldest 741. You have only to do appropriate polarisation: + AO input must be polarised at +2.5V using a resistor network ( 10k to 47k for the resistors are good). Negative feedback reaction through a capacitor from the output to - operational input. The structure I've described will be an inverted operational amplifier. V0 =3D - (Z2/r1) * vi where r1 is the input resistor from AC source to - AO input, z2 is the feedback reaction ( capacitor + r2 resistor) Take capacitor reactance 10 times less than resistor values an= d the gain will be: v0/vi =3D -r2/r1=20 The output will have ac signal straddle to a +2.5DC so don't forget to use a decoupling capacitorwhen you'll drive the transformer.
