To analyze this circuit, the operational amplifier is assumed to be ideal, meaning:
- The differential input voltage \(U_D\) is zero, implying no input offset voltage.
- The output offset voltage is zero.
- The input current is negligible (zero). / The input resistance is infinite.
- The output resistance is zero.
- The open-loop gain is infinite.
While these conditions cannot be perfectly achieved in real integrated circuits, they serve as useful approximations for most practical applications.
In these formulas, \(I_{Rx}\) represents the current flowing through \(R_1\) or \(R_2\).
\(U_D\) is the voltage difference between the non-inverting (+) and inverting (-) terminals.
\(U_{in}\) and \(U_{out}\) are the input and the output voltages, respectively.
$$ I_{R1} = {U_{in} \over R_1} $$
$$ I_{R2} = {U_{out} \over R_2} $$
$$ U_{D} = 0 $$
$$ I_{R2} = -I_{R1} $$
$$ {U_{out} \over {R_2}} = -{U_{in} \over R_1} $$
$$ v = {U_{out} \over U_{in}} = -{R_2 \over R_1} $$
These formulas demonstrate that the amplification factor is always negative.
