Inverting Operational amplifier

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the input and output impedance characteristics of inverting and non-inverting operational amplifiers (op-amps). For the inverting op-amp configuration with R1 set at 1000 ohms and Rf at 10^6 ohms, the input impedance is confirmed to be 1000 ohms while the output impedance is effectively 0. In contrast, the non-inverting op-amp, with R1 at 3500 ohms and Rf at 15000 ohms, theoretically has infinite input impedance, applicable only to ideal op-amps. The input impedance for real non-inverting op-amps ranges from 1 MΩ to 10 TΩ, indicating significant differences between ideal and practical scenarios.

Homework Statement


1) Consider an inverting operational amplifier as shown in figure. Suppose R1= 1000 ohm & Rf = 10^6 ohm. It is said that the input impedance=R1=1000 ohm and the Output impedance= 0.

2) Consider a non inverting operational amplifier as shown in figure. Suppose R1= 3500 ohm & Rf = 15000 ohm. It is said that the input impedance=infinite. Why is it so? Here Rf is the feedback resistor.But only for an ideal Op-Amp, the input impedance is infinite and not for a real one, isn’t it? So, can R1 be taken as the input impedance of the Op-Amp in both cases?

These are a couple of links that explain the input impedance for both op amps.

For a real non inverting op amp, the input impedance is somewhere between 1 MΩ to 10 TΩ.
