8.1.1 Amplifier Feedback Circuit

The RES21A-Q1 is typically used to implement the feedback path of an operational amplifier, and thus set the circuit gain. This circuit is configured as either inverting or noninverting, with the input voltage being applied to that respective amplifier input, and is generically drawn in the following figure.

RES21A-Q1 Inverting Amplifier ConfigurationFigure 8-1 Inverting Amplifier Configuration
RES21A-Q1 Noninverting Amplifier ConfigurationFigure 8-2 Noninverting Amplifier Configuration

For the inverting circuit configuration:

Equation 18. G Inv = R X R Y
Equation 19. V OUT = –V IN × G Inv

For the noninverting circuit configuration:

Equation 20. G Noninv = 1 + R X R Y
Equation 21. V OUT = V IN × G Noninv

Typically, RX = RG and RY = RIN, allowing noninverting gains from 2 to 11 to be achieved. Inverting gains range in this configuration from –1 to –10. More unique configurations are also possible; see also Section 8.1.6.2.

Equation 22. G x = G nom 1 + t D x
