 Non inverting amplifier

Definition
In non inverting amplifier only one input is applied and
that is to the non inverting terminal. The inverting input
terminal is grounded.

AEI-505.18 6
• The figure shows the non inverting amplifier with
feedback

• Open loop voltage gain, A = v0÷vid

Where v0 = Output voltage

vid = v1-v2 = Differential input voltage

• Closed loop voltage gain = Af = v0÷vin

• Gain of the feedback circuit = B = vf÷v0

Wherevin = input voltage

vf = feedback voltage
AEI-505.18 7
 Negative feedback

• The kirchoff’s voltage equation for the input loop

of the figure is
vid= vin – vf

• The op-amp always amplifies the difference input vid

Voltage gain :-
• Closed loop voltage gain (i.e. with feedback)

Af= v0 – vin → 1

v0= A(vin – vf)

AEI-505.18 8
 Negative feedback

• From the figure,

v1 = vin

v2= vf = (R1v0) ÷ (R1+Rf) [since Rf>>R1]

 R1v0 
 v0  A  vin  

Negative feedback

• The equation (3) shows that the gain of the non

inverting amplifier is determined by the ratio of the
resistances R1 & Rf

AEI-505.18 12
• The gain of the feedback circuit (B) is the ratio of vf &v0

• From the figure, the gain ‘B’ is

• This means that the gain of the feedback circuit is the
reciprocal of the closed loop voltage gain

• The exact value of Af

Input resistance with feedback

In this
Ri = input resistance (open loop) of op-amp

Rif = input resistance of the amplifier with feedback

Therefore resistance with feedback

Rif   1  AB  Ri

This means that the input resistance of the op-amp with

feedback is (1+AB) times without feedback

AEI-505.18 19
 Output resistance
• Output resistance is the resistance determined
back in to the feedback amplifier from the output
terminal as shown in the figure
• It can be derived with Thevenin’s theorem for
dependent source
• Reduce vin to zero

• Apply external voltage v0

• Calculate the resultant currenti0

• Rof is defined as Rof = v0 ÷ i0 → (1)

This shows that the output resistance of the non inverting

amplifier is 1/(1+AB) times the output resistance R0 of the

op-amp i.e. the output resistance at the op-amp is much

less than the output resistance without feedback
