Solving Op Amp Circuits
We have seen that we
can solve op amp
circuits by using two
assumptions:
The Two Assumptions
1) i- = i+ = 0.
2) If there is negative
feedback, then v- = v+.
If not, the output
saturates.
The key to using these assumptions is being
able to determine whether the op amp has
negative feedback. Remember that we have
negative feedback when a portion of the output
is returned to the input, and subtracted from it.

Negative Feedback Identification
We have seen that
we can solve op amp
circuits by using two
assumptions:
The Two Assumptions
1) i- = i+ = 0.
2) If there is negative
feedback, then v- = v+.
If not, the output
saturates.
For ideal op amps, we can assume
that the op amp has negative
feedback if there is a signal path
from the output to the inverting
input of the op amp.

Negative Feedback Identification
Most of the time,
this feedback path is
provided by using a
resistor between the
output and the
inverting input.
For ideal op amps, we can assume
that the op amp has negative
feedback if there is a signal path
from the output to the inverting
input of the op amp.

Negative Feedback Identification
In general the rule is
this: If, when the output
voltage increases, the
voltage at the inverting
input also increases
immediately, then we
have negative feedback.
For ideal op amps, we can assume
that the op amp has negative
feedback if there is a signal path
from the output to the inverting
input of the op amp.

These are two different ways of saying the same thing. However,
for most students this becomes clearer once we see some
examples. We will look at one example in detail in this part, and
then more examples in Part 3.

One of the simplest op amp amplifiers is
called the inverting configuration of the op
amp.

Inverting Configuration of the Op Amp
The inverting configuration is distinguished by
the feedback resistor, Rf, between the output and the
inverting input, and the input resistor, Ri, between
the input voltage
and the inverting input.

The noninverting input

we have negative feedback.

Note that the feedback resistor, Rf, between the
output and the inverting input, means that we have
negative feedback. Thus, we will have a virtual
short at the input of the op amp, and we can apply
our virtual-short rule, and get

Gain for the Inverting Configuration
Let’s find the voltage gain, which is the
ratio of the output voltage vo to the input
voltage vi. To get this, let’s define two
currents, ii and if.

This is the result that we were looking for.
As implied by our analysis of negative
feedback, the gain is not a function of the op
amp gain at all. The gain is the ratio of two

Let’s find the quantity called the input
resistance of this amplifier, which is defined as
the Thevenin resistance seen by the source.
Here, the source is the voltage source vi.

resistor RLOAD.

Output Resistance for the Inverting
Configuration
The Thevenin
resistance seen by the
load can be found by
setting all independent
sources equal to zero.
The voltage source
thus becomes a short
circuit. We then
applying a test source
at the output, in place
of the load. We do
this here, applying a
current source.

We know that

a virtual short, due
to the presence of
negative feedback.

Is the Virtual-Short Assumption Really Valid?
• This is a good question.
• You can check this by performing the
solutions with actual values for real op amps.
Try an open loop gain A of 106, and resistor
values such as Rf = 10[kW] and Ri = 1[kW],
and see how close your answers are.
• You can also check this by building an op
amp circuit, and measuring the actual gain,
and other parameters. You might
be surprised by how accurate
Go back to
the virtual-short assumption is.

Is the Virtual-Short Assumption
Really Valid?
• Strictly speaking, the answer is no. It is only
an approximation.
• However, it is such a good approximation,
we are going to use it for the rest of this
module, in all cases where negative feedback
is present.
