OBJECTIVE
To measure DC and AC voltages in inverting amplifier, non-inverting amplifier and unity – gain buffer.

RESUME OF THEORY
The op-amp is a very high gain amplifier with inverting and non-inverting inputs. It can be used to
provide a much smaller but exact gain set by external resistors.
As an inverting amplifier, the resistors are connected to the inverting input as shown in Fig.1 with
output voltage

A noninverting amplifier is provided by the circuit of Fig.2 with output voltage given by

Connecting the output back to the inverting input as in Fig.3 provides a gain of exactly unity:

Summing Amplifier is shown in Fig. 4 . Voltages are summed by applying the signals to the same
input of the amplifier. Amplifying, averaging, etc. may be accomplished by input resistor scaling. Inputs
are effectively isolated from each other. Any number of inputs may be used in each of these circuits.

Difference Amplifier shown in Fig. takes the difference in two input voltages.
Output of the circuit is:

Instrumentation Amplifier is one type of the integrated circuit amplifier shown in Figure 6.
Unlike the very high gain op-amp, the instrumentation amplifier has either a fixed gain or a gain that
can be set over a limited range. The instrumentation amplifier is used only to amplify signals. The output
voltage is:

instrumentation amplifier, but only using two operational amplifiers instead of three.
