An inverting operational amplifier (op-amp) configuration is a fundamental electronic circuit arrangement that utilizes an operational amplifier to create an inverted output signal relative to its input. This configuration is widely used in various applications, including signal amplification, signal inversion, and voltage summing.
The basic setup of an inverting op-amp configuration consists of an operational amplifier (op-amp) and two resistors, labeled as R1 and R2. Here's how the circuit is typically arranged:
Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp): The op-amp is a high-gain differential amplifier with two input terminals (inverting and non-inverting) and a single output terminal.
