RESUME OF THEORY
The op-amp is a very high gain amplifier with inverting and non-inverting inputs. It can be used
to provide a much smaller but exact gain set by external resistors or to sum more than one input, each
having a desired voltage gain.
As an inverting amplifier the resistors are connected to the inverting inputs as shown in figure 7.1
with output voltage.

V o=( Ro / Ri )V i

(Equation 7.1)

Figure 7-1

A non-inverting amplifier is provided by the circuit of Figure 7.2 with output voltage given by:

V o=(1+ Ro / Ri )V i

(Equation 7.2)

Figure7-2
Connecting the output back to the inverting input as in Figure 7.3 provides a gain of exactly unity:

V o=V i

(Equation 7.3)

More than one input can be connected through separate resistors as shown in Fig. 7.4, with the output
voltage then
