SUMMARY
The forum discussion focuses on the calculation of output voltage in an operational amplifier (op-amp) circuit using virtual ground principles. The correct output voltage formula derived is $$ V_o = - U \left [\frac{R_2+R_3}{R_1} \right ] \left [\frac{(1+s(R_2 \parallel R_3)C)}{(1+sR_3C)} \right ]$$, which provides insight into the circuit's DC gain, poles, and zeros. Participants emphasize the importance of simplifying to a factored pole-zero form for clarity and suggest using MultiSim for Bode plot simulations. Additionally, they recommend resources for learning how to draw Bode diagrams effectively.
