#13.4.1

Inverting amplifier configuration

Derivation of \(\dfrac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} = -\dfrac{R_f}{R_{in}} \) , calculations.

Meaning of virtual earth, virtual-earth analysis.

#13.4.2

Non-inverting amplifier configuration

\(\dfrac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} = 1 + \dfrac{R_f}{R_l} \)

Derivation is not required.

#13.4.3

Summing amplifier configuration

\(V_{out} = -R_f\bigg(\dfrac{V_1}{R_1} + \dfrac{V_2}{R_2} + \dfrac{V_3}{R_3} + ... \bigg) \)

Difference amplifier configuration.

Derivation is not required.

\(V_{out} = (V_+ - V_−)\dfrac{R_f}{R_l} \)

Derivation is not required.
