>> In this video, I would like to summarize

0:00:02.730,0:00:06.060
the characteristics of a non-inverting op-amp amplifier.

0:00:06.060,0:00:08.640
Remember that we start with a basic op-amp like this

0:00:08.640,0:00:11.265
and it has an output voltage coming out like so.

0:00:11.265,0:00:12.675
Whenever we have feedback,

0:00:12.675,0:00:15.720
it goes from the negative terminal towards the output.

0:00:15.720,0:00:20.685
In this case, we're going to run it across two resistors R1 and R2,

0:00:20.685,0:00:22.560
down to ground and that gives us

0:00:22.560,0:00:25.725
the negative feedback to the output voltage that's right here.

0:00:25.725,0:00:27.825
The input voltage Rs,

0:00:27.825,0:00:34.240
is going to run through a resistance Rs to the positive terminal as shown here.

0:00:34.240,0:00:36.960
In the case of a non-inverting op-amp amplifier,

0:00:36.960,0:00:43.865
V0 is equal to Vs times R1 plus R2 divided by R2.

0:00:43.865,0:00:48.155
There are several things to also remember about this non-inverting op-amp, for instance,

0:00:48.155,0:00:52.460
that it is powered by two voltages plus Vcc and minus

0:00:52.460,0:00:58.430
Vcc that limit the possible range of V0 between them.

0:00:58.430,0:01:01.500
These are often called the rail voltages.

0:01:01.850,0:01:06.170
In addition, let's take a look at this thing as gain.

0:01:06.170,0:01:08.780
We often will write that V0 is equal to

0:01:08.780,0:01:12.950
the gain times Vs and for the case of the non-inverting op-amp,

0:01:12.950,0:01:17.575
the gain is R1 plus R2 divided by R2.

0:01:17.575,0:01:20.390
Notice, that this is a positive value.

0:01:20.390,0:01:22.520
That's why it's a non-inverting op-amp.

0:01:22.520,0:01:26.465
Also, notice that it is greater than or equal to one.

0:01:26.465,0:01:28.445
The only way it could be equal to one,

0:01:28.445,0:01:31.805
is if R1 was zero which in fact it could be.

0:01:31.805,0:01:37.070
So, this is the case for a positive gain op-amp amplifier.

0:01:37.070,0:01:38.520
We can never reduce the voltage,

0:01:38.520,0:01:40.115
we only can increase it.

0:01:40.115,0:01:43.940
Another way that we might represent this amplifier would be to say

0:01:43.940,0:01:47.840
that Vs is coming into the amplifier and is being

0:01:47.840,0:01:51.345
multiplied by the gain and that is giving us

0:01:51.345,0:01:57.540
the V0 value and that the gain is always greater than or equal to one.
