SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on solving an RC op-amp circuit configured in a non-inverting manner, specifically with a capacitor replacing the second resistor. The approach involves applying Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) to derive circuit equations, assuming no voltage difference between the op-amp's inputs due to high negative feedback gain. Additionally, the analysis must consider the finite gain of the op-amp and any input bias currents or offset voltages that may affect the circuit's behavior.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of op-amp configurations, particularly non-inverting setups
  • Familiarity with Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)
  • Knowledge of capacitor behavior in circuits
  • Basic concepts of op-amp gain and input bias currents
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) in op-amp circuits
  • Learn about the effects of input bias currents and offset voltages in op-amps
  • Explore the differential and integral relationships of capacitors in circuit analysis
  • Investigate advanced op-amp configurations and their applications
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, circuit designers, and students studying analog electronics who are looking to deepen their understanding of op-amp circuit analysis and design.

How would you solve an RC op-amp circuit connected in a non-inverting fashion, such that the second resistor is replaced by a capacitor. This is not the usual differentiator or integrator circuit as far as I can tell?

No specific problem, just generally speaking, how would you approach this

Can you post a sketch of the circuit? I think I can picture what you are asking, but it would be good to be more clear.

In general, you solve all opamp circuits the same way. Assume that there is no voltage between the + and - inputs, by virtue of the high negative feedback gain of the opamp, and assume that there is no input current into the + and - inputs. If there are inductors or capacitors in the circuit, you use the differential or integral relationship between their current and voltage as part of the circuit equations. I usually use KCL equations and solve them.

Then you go back and factor in the non-infinite gain of the opamp, and the non-zero input bias currents, the input offset current and voltage, etc., if applicable to the problem.
