Designing different amplifiers with known gain

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing three types of amplifiers: a noninverting amplifier with a gain of 200, an inverting amplifier with a gain of -50, and a summing amplifier with specified output equations. The user has successfully started with the noninverting amplifier but is struggling to relate input and output voltages for all three designs. They have derived the equation G=i(out)R(2) but are unsure how to proceed further. Additionally, the conversation touches on the fundamental properties of operational amplifiers that are essential for determining gain, specifically regarding current flow and voltage differences at the input terminals. The user seeks guidance on advancing their designs for the amplifiers.

Homework Statement


I am designing three amplifiers:
1. is an noninverting amplifier with G=200
2. is an inverting amplifier with G=-50
3. is a summing amplifier with V(out)--50V(in1)-3V(in2)-15(Vin3)

all problems i(outmax)=2mA

So far the only problem I have figured anything about is the noninverting amplifier. I still cannot seem to find a way to relate Vin and Vout with what I know. I got as far as finding G=i(out)R(2)
Where do I go from here?


Homework Equations


1. i(out)=i(2)=V(out)/(R(1)+R(2))


The Attempt at a Solution



The second two problems I don't know where to start with them.

What are the two basic properties of opamps that you use to figure out the gain of different configurations? One property has to do with the current that flows into the + and - terminals, and the other property has to do with the voltage difference between the + and - input when the opamp has negative feedback connected...
