The Non-Inverting Amplifier is another important op-amp configuration.

In this circuit the input signal is applied to the non-inverting terminal (+) of the op-amp.


Circuit Components

  • Feedback resistor → Rf
  • Ground resistor → R1
  • Operational amplifier

Virtual Short Concept

For an ideal op-amp:

V+ ≈ V−

Since input is applied to the non-inverting terminal:

V+ = Vin

Therefore

V− ≈ Vin


Voltage at Inverting Terminal

The inverting terminal is connected to a voltage divider.

V− = Vout × ( R1 / (R1 + Rf) )

Since V− = Vin

Vin = Vout × ( R1 / (R1 + Rf) )


Output Voltage

Rearranging the equation:

Vout = Vin ( 1 + Rf / R1 )


Voltage Gain

Av = Vout / Vin = 1 + (Rf / R1)


Important Properties

  • No phase inversion
  • High input impedance
  • Stable amplifier configuration
  • Gain controlled by feedback resistors

GATE Important Points

  • Gain = 1 + (Rf / R1)
  • Input applied to non-inverting terminal
  • Output in phase with input
  • High input resistance
