Operational Amplifiers

Op-Amp Gain: Inverting, Noninverting, Buffer

Description

Operational amplifiers can be used as inverting, noninverting, and buffer amplifiers. In these circuits, the output voltage depends on the input voltage and the resistor setup around the op-amp.

In an inverting amplifier, the input voltage is sent through a resistor to the inverting terminal. The...

Transcript

The inverting amplifier connects the input voltage through a resistor to the inverting terminal, grounds the non-inverting terminal, and has a feedback resistor between the inverting and output terminals.

By applying KCL and assuming the operational amplifier to be ideal, the expression for gain is determined.
