How it works

3 stages · Explore one step at a time

Step 1 / 3

Compare

Each amplifier senses the difference between its two inputs.

Step 2 / 3

Feed back

The resistor network returns a fraction of the output to the inverting input.

Step 3 / 3

Stay within limits

The output settles near VIN × (1 + Rf/Rg) until input range or output headroom is exceeded.
