Op-amps use negative feedback to set a precise gain. The two most common configurations are Inverting and Non-Inverting.


Gain-Bandwidth Product (GBW): Op-amps have a limited speed. If you set a very high gain, the maximum frequency the op-amp can handle will drop. Check the datasheet for the GBW to ensure your signal frequency is supported.
Clipping (Saturation): An op-amp cannot output a voltage higher than its power supply rails (minus ~1-2V for non-rail-to-rail models). If your calculated Vout is 15V but your supply is 12V, the signal will “clip.”
Input Impedance:
- Non-Inverting: Very high input impedance (ideal for weak sensors).
- Inverting: Input impedance is equal to Rin. Choose Rin carefully so you don’t load down your source.
