Building on last month’s discussion of resistor noise, let’s check out some basics of amplifier noise.The non-inverting op amp configuration is most common for low noise applications so we’ll make ...

First, in the non-inverting amplifier, the input and output voltages will be limited to positive values. If the input voltage range is to include ground, then the op amp input common-mode range and ...

In the last Circuit VR we looked at some basic op amp circuits in a simulator, including the non-inverting amplifier. Sometimes you want an amplifier that inverts the signal. That is a 5V input res… ...

If you’ve ever wondered why an op amp has the little plus and minus symbols on it, its because at the heart of it, the device is a differential amplifier. The problem is that — ideally,… ...

Multiple inverting and non-inverting inputs on an op-amp summer complicates the math (Equation 3). However, summing two or more inputs at the non-inverting input starts to get rather messy: ...
