 Ideal Op-Amp Applications
Analysis Method :
Two ideal Op-Amp Properties:
(1) The voltage between V+ and V is zero V+ = V
(2) The current into both V+ and V termainals is zero

For ideal Op-Amp circuit:

(1) Write the kirchhoff node equation at the noninverting
terminal V+
(2) Write the kirchhoff node eqaution at the inverting
terminal V
(3) Set V+ = V and solve for the desired closed-loop gain

(3) Setting V+ = V yields Notice: The closed-loop gain Vo/Vin is

and is independent of the open-loop gain.

voltage to subtract from the input voltage.
