KCC's Quizzes: AQQ239 about a High gain & high input resistance inverting amplifier

High input resistance and high gain Inverting amplifier can be needed in some applications.

In such case an even larger feedback resistor is required. Too large resistors have issues like precision, availability and excessive stray capacitance.

The here below circuit is a way to maintain both a high input resistance, a high gain and still using not too large feedback resistors.

Questions:

  1. What is the input resistance of the above circuit?
  2. What is the gain Vout/Vin ?

Good luck and try to be among the first!

And communicate this around you (colleagues, partners, customers and friends)!

  • The inverting input of the opamp can be considered at virtual ground potential.

    The R2 and Rg resistors are in parallel.

    R2g= R2Rg/(R2+Rg) = 100/101.
    Ro = R3 + R2g = 100 + 100/101 = 101k

    Since the input is available at the junction of R2 and R3.

    The gain can be evaluated as Av= Ro/R2g

    2. Av = - 101/0.99 = -102

    1. Rin in this case is R1 = 100k.
