“Its

 

operation

 

is

 

based

 

upon

principles

 

of

 

operational

 

am

plifier

 

circuits.

 

An

 

ideal

 

op

amp

 

has

 

extremely

 

high

 

input

 

imped

ance,

 

extremely

 

low

 

output

 

imped

ance,

 

and

 

extremely

 

high

 

gain.

 

Note

 

the

 

operative

 

word

 

‘extremely’.

 

The

 

non

 

inverting

 

input

of

 

the

 

op

the

D2.

 

The

its

 

output

a

 

voltage

 

such

 

that

 

the

 

inverting

There

 

will

 

be

 

a

a

 

property

 

of

 

real

 

op

The

 

inverting

 

input

 

is

 

of

ten

 

called

 

the

 

summing

 

junction,

 

as

 

the

 

sum

 

of

 

the

 

currents

 

in

 

that

 

node

 

will

 

be

 

zero.

 

Since

 

virtually

 

no

 

current

 

flows

 

into

 

the

 

inverting

 

input

 

(

)

the

any

 

current

in
