0:00:00.000,0:00:04.410
>> The next of the common op-amp configurations

0:00:04.410,0:00:07.455
that we're going to consider is known as the inverting amplifier.

0:00:07.455,0:00:11.100
It takes its name from the fact that the source voltage that's going to be

0:00:11.100,0:00:16.665
amplified is connected to the inverting terminal.

0:00:16.665,0:00:19.020
So, with that then,

0:00:19.020,0:00:24.240
we might have rightfully assume that because of the name inverting amplifier,

0:00:24.240,0:00:31.545
that the output voltage is going to be the opposite in sign of the source voltage.

0:00:31.545,0:00:35.490
So, let's go ahead and analyze this as in the same manner that we have

0:00:35.490,0:00:42.480
the other op-amp circuits by writing a node equation at the inverting op-amp terminal.

0:00:42.480,0:00:46.580
Before we do that we're going to remember that due to the virtual short,

0:00:46.580,0:00:49.595
the voltage at the inverting terminal V sub n is

0:00:49.595,0:00:52.760
equal to the voltage at the non-inverting terminal,

0:00:52.760,0:00:54.650
and in this case, V sub p

0:00:54.650,0:00:58.535
the voltage at the non-inverting terminal has been tied to ground.

0:00:58.535,0:01:01.625
So, V sub n is going to equal zero also.

0:01:01.625,0:01:05.480
Lets go ahead and write the equation leaving V sub n in place so that we can see what's

0:01:05.480,0:01:09.565
happening and we'll go back and replace V sub n with zero.

0:01:09.565,0:01:13.610
So, starting here, adding the currents leaving

0:01:13.610,0:01:17.840
this node starting with the current going in that direction we have,

0:01:17.840,0:01:24.780
V sub n minus V sub s divided by R sub s,

0:01:24.780,0:01:29.795
plus the current leaving the node going in that direction is going to be

0:01:29.795,0:01:35.885
V sub n minus V out divided by R sub f,

0:01:35.885,0:01:41.270
plus the current entering the inverting terminal of the op-amp which of course is zero.

0:01:41.270,0:01:42.485
So, there's nothing right there,

0:01:42.485,0:01:46.855
thus the sum of those two terms must equals zero.

0:01:46.855,0:01:50.760
Now, let's replace V sub n with zero in both places.

0:01:50.760,0:01:54.920
That's zero. That then is zero and we're left with

0:01:54.920,0:02:00.870
negative V sub s over R sub s minus V out over R sub f equals 0.

0:02:00.870,0:02:04.190
So, let's just take this negative V out over R sub f to the other side of

0:02:04.190,0:02:10.745
the equation as a positive V out over R sub f.

0:02:10.745,0:02:14.630
It's a simple task now to solve for V out as

0:02:14.630,0:02:19.835
R sub f. Multiplying both sides of the equation by R sub f we get then that

0:02:19.835,0:02:24.875
V out is equal to negative V sub s

0:02:24.875,0:02:31.239
times R sub f over R sub s. As we anticipated,

0:02:31.239,0:02:35.495
the sign on the output is going to be opposite sign of the source voltage,

0:02:35.495,0:02:39.050
and we then can note that the gain for

0:02:39.050,0:02:45.335
the inverting op-amp is equal to negative R sub f over R sub

0:02:45.335,0:02:51.230
s. It's good to compare this gain term with

0:02:51.230,0:02:54.560
a gain term that we derived in

0:02:54.560,0:02:58.010
the non-inverting amplifier and go back and look at your notes.

0:02:58.010,0:03:04.470
But, you may recall that the gain for the non-inverting amplifier was equal to

0:03:04.470,0:03:12.425
one plus R sub f over r sub s. This is supposed to be R sub s there.

0:03:12.425,0:03:15.004
When you compare these two terms,

0:03:15.004,0:03:16.430
you'll notice they're very similar.

0:03:16.430,0:03:22.160
They both have the ratio R sub f over R sub s. But in the non-inverting case,

0:03:22.160,0:03:24.455
there's also one added to it.

0:03:24.455,0:03:28.340
So, for the same circuit, the gain,

0:03:28.340,0:03:31.655
if the source was on the non-inverting terminal,

0:03:31.655,0:03:34.460
would be one larger than the gain

0:03:34.460,0:03:38.615
experienced when the source is on the inverting terminal.

0:03:38.615,0:03:40.925
Now, what does that inversion mean?

0:03:40.925,0:03:44.645
Well, let's just take a couple of examples here real fast.

0:03:44.645,0:03:52.355
Let's let R sub f equal 2 kilo-ohms,

0:03:52.355,0:03:56.875
and we'll let R sub s equal 1 kilo ohm.

0:03:56.875,0:04:02.190
So, that the ratio R sub f over R sub s is equal to 2,

0:04:02.190,0:04:04.440
and for this first instance,

0:04:04.440,0:04:05.550
for the first example,

0:04:05.550,0:04:10.720
let's just assume that V sub s equals say 5 volts.

0:04:10.720,0:04:14.120
Then our output voltage would be V out

0:04:14.120,0:04:19.295
would equal negative V sub s

0:04:19.295,0:04:26.295
times 2 or negative 10 volts.

0:04:26.295,0:04:30.755
So, DC values are just inverted or just have an opposite sign.

0:04:30.755,0:04:33.170
What about time-varying voltages?

0:04:33.170,0:04:39.690
What if our V source was equal to

0:04:39.690,0:04:49.100
say 5 cosine of omega t. What would the output voltage be?

0:04:49.100,0:04:58.895
Well, V out would be negative 2 times 5 times the cosine of omega t,

0:04:58.895,0:05:05.190
or that's equal to negative 10 cosine of omega t. Well,

0:05:05.190,0:05:08.130
what does that sine, what's the amplitude of the output?

0:05:08.130,0:05:11.480
Where the amplitude is going to be twice as large as the amplitude of the input,

0:05:11.480,0:05:15.725
but it's also going to have a sign reversal. What does that mean?

0:05:15.725,0:05:20.350
Well, if this was our original,

0:05:22.670,0:05:26.200
where this was five,

0:05:26.720,0:05:30.680
the output is going to have twice the amplitude.

0:05:30.680,0:05:35.165
Let's just say that that's twice the amplitude.

0:05:35.165,0:05:37.880
But it's also going to have a sign reversal.

0:05:37.880,0:05:40.625
That means wherever the input was positive,

0:05:40.625,0:05:48.045
the output is going to be negative and wherever the input with negative,

0:05:48.045,0:05:54.240
the output will be positive and so on.

0:05:54.240,0:05:56.810
In other words, we say also,

0:05:56.810,0:05:59.510
or another way of putting it is that the output is

0:05:59.510,0:06:03.740
180 degrees out of phase with the input and

0:06:03.740,0:06:11.875
that's what the minus sign in the inverting op-amp gain term does to us.

0:06:11.875,0:06:15.890
Putting it that way makes it sound a little ominous.

0:06:15.890,0:06:19.490
What it does to us, now it's not doing anything to us,

0:06:19.490,0:06:21.710
it's not hurting us and generally speaking,

0:06:21.710,0:06:25.680
that sign inversion doesn't really impact anything.

0:06:25.680,0:06:26.865
It just sits there,

0:06:26.865,0:06:29.870
and when you build these kinds of circuits up in

0:06:29.870,0:06:32.810
the laboratory and look at them on the oscilloscope,

0:06:32.810,0:06:36.300
you'll note that there's a 180 degree phase shift.
