00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,730
>> In this video, I would like to summarize

2
00:00:02,730 --> 00:00:06,060
the characteristics of a non-inverting op-amp amplifier.

3
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:08,640
Remember that we start with a basic op-amp like this

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,265
and it has an output voltage coming out like so.

5
00:00:11,265 --> 00:00:12,675
Whenever we have feedback,

6
00:00:12,675 --> 00:00:15,720
it goes from the negative terminal towards the output.

7
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,685
In this case, we're going to run it across two resistors R1 and R2,

8
00:00:20,685 --> 00:00:22,560
down to ground and that gives us

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,725
the negative feedback to the output voltage that's right here.

10
00:00:25,725 --> 00:00:27,825
The input voltage Rs,

11
00:00:27,825 --> 00:00:34,240
is going to run through a resistance Rs to the positive terminal as shown here.

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,960
In the case of a non-inverting op-amp amplifier,

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,865
V0 is equal to Vs times R1 plus R2 divided by R2.

14
00:00:43,865 --> 00:00:48,155
There are several things to also remember about this non-inverting op-amp, for instance,

15
00:00:48,155 --> 00:00:52,460
that it is powered by two voltages plus Vcc and minus

16
00:00:52,460 --> 00:00:58,430
Vcc that limit the possible range of V0 between them.

17
00:00:58,430 --> 00:01:01,500
These are often called the rail voltages.

18
00:01:01,850 --> 00:01:06,170
In addition, let's take a look at this thing as gain.

19
00:01:06,170 --> 00:01:08,780
We often will write that V0 is equal to

20
00:01:08,780 --> 00:01:12,950
the gain times Vs and for the case of the non-inverting op-amp,

21
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:17,575
the gain is R1 plus R2 divided by R2.

22
00:01:17,575 --> 00:01:20,390
Notice, that this is a positive value.

23
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:22,520
That's why it's a non-inverting op-amp.

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,465
Also, notice that it is greater than or equal to one.

25
00:01:26,465 --> 00:01:28,445
The only way it could be equal to one,

26
00:01:28,445 --> 00:01:31,805
is if R1 was zero which in fact it could be.

27
00:01:31,805 --> 00:01:37,070
So, this is the case for a positive gain op-amp amplifier.

28
00:01:37,070 --> 00:01:38,520
We can never reduce the voltage,

29
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,115
we only can increase it.

30
00:01:40,115 --> 00:01:43,940
Another way that we might represent this amplifier would be to say

31
00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:47,840
that Vs is coming into the amplifier and is being

32
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,345
multiplied by the gain and that is giving us

33
00:01:51,345 --> 00:01:57,540
the V0 value and that the gain is always greater than or equal to one.
