There's also noise to worry about, of course. Your garden variety op
amp has an input noise voltage of very roughly 10 nV/sqrt(Hz), which is
about the same as the thermal (Johnson) noise of a 6k resistor. So
going too high will cost you voltage noise performance.

The other nice thing about 10 k ohm, is you can put a 1/4W 10k across
the +/- 15V rail and *not* let the magic smoke out.
And 10 k is very close the the "quantum" of conductance.
2*e**2/h =~ 1/12.9k ohm) Coincidence? I don't think so.
I think God also likes ~10k ohm :^)
(please excuse the extreme hubris in the above.)

Maybe that's the Imperial unit of resistance. One attoparsec equals one
decifoot, to within observational error (at least mine), which proves
once again (if any further proof were needed) that God is an Englishman. ;)

Using a fixed-pitch font to display the basic configurations for
inverting and non-inverting opamps we have, for the supply
connections:

. V+
. |
. --|-\
. | >--
. --|+/
. |
. V-

and for the inverting configuration:

. +--[R2]--+
. | |
.Vin>--[R1]-+--|-\ |
. | >--+-->Vout
.GND/0V>-------|+/


Note that with the non-inverting (+) input at 0V, then Vout must
assume whatever value is required to force the - input to whatever
voltage is on the + input; 0V.

If Vin is at 1V, and if R1 = R2, then we have a voltage divider that
looks like this:

1V
|
[R1]
|
+---0V
|
[R2]
|
-1V

where -1V is the output of the opamp and 0V is the opamp's - input.

Accordingly, as the input voltage swings positive and negative, then
the output voltage will swing with the same magnitude as the input,
but 180 degrees out of phase.

The circuit, then, has a voltage gain of -1.


Assuming, now, that the signal generator driving R1 has an output
impedance of 10kohms and that R1 and R2 are each 10k, our circuit
now looks like this:

. SIGNAL 10k
. GENERATOR +--[R2]--+
. +-----------+ 10k | |
. | +--[Rg]--|--[R1]-+--|-\ |
. | | 10k | | >--+-->Vout
. | OSC | +--|+/
. +-----------+ |
. GND

If the signal generator has an open-circuit output of 1 volt, when
it's connected to R1 (since the end of R1 connected to the minus
input of the opamp will be at 0V) the current through RgR1 will be:

E 1V
I = --------- = ------ = 50 microamps
Rg + R1 20kR


Now, since Rg, R1, and R2 are in series and the current into the -
input of the opamp is miniscule, the current through Rg and R1 also
flows through R2.

Then, since R2 = 10kR and the current through it is 50 microamps,
the voltage across it must be:


E = IR = 50ľA * 10kR = 0.5V

Therefore, even though R1 = R2, the gain of the [entire] circuit
won't be -1 because of the effect of R1 loading the source.

Knowing that, and taking the source impedance into consideration,
the resistances of R1 and R2 can be selected so that the opamp's
output voltage will be whatever's desired.

The resistor selection criteria for the non-inverting amp are
arguably less stringent with, roughly, not starving the opamp -
input for bias current on one end and minimizing the noise into the
opamp on the other.

Low value resistors could load the opamp output, or in low-power
applications use too much power. If they self-heat, or cause the opamp
to heat, you can get weird thermal transients, usually only an issue
in super-precision circuits.

If the resistors are too high, you can get...

more Johnson noise

more noise from opamp input noise current

Noise peaking from the pole (RC rolloff) that's created inside the
feedback loop by the resistors and the opamp input capacitance

Ringing/oscillation, same reason

DC errors, from opamp input bias current or PCB leakage.


Current-mode opamps also care about the impedance seen at the
inverting input; it directly affects the opamp gain-bandwidth.

I think 10k ohm resistors are my favorite. (then 1 k ohm)
In general I'd like to choose R's that are smaller.
First this tends to reduce the effects of stray capacitance.
(Some RC corner that move to higher frequency with smaller R)
And then if you care, smaller R has less noise.. though most of the
time that doesn't matter much.
Now of course you can't make 'em too small.
First the opamp mya not have enough poop to drive it.
and second if the R's get very small (a few ohms) you then
start to worry about the resistance of the traces and contacts.

Please understand that Phil Allison is a malignant narcissist. He heaps
unwarranted abuse on anyone if he thinks he can get away with it. The
reason he does this is that it makes him feel superior to berate people
and put them down, It makes him feel good. In part it is compensation
for his own lack of achievement - he failed at uni and his personality
won't allow him to work with "normal" people. He repairs toasters and
any other bits of electronics he can get on his kitchen table. Of course
his personality is so toxic that he lives alone. He seems to be a rather
good repair man, but please don't mistake that for anything "special" -
there would be thousands as good or better in Australia and 10's of
thousands in the USA.

NOTE to people of sci.electronics: this is exactly the behavior of PA
that I have been saying is unacceptable. A newbie politely asks a
question - of course he doesn't get the question totally right because
he is still learning - and because the OP is polite or possibly hesitant
PA starts to heap abuse on them. It is not acceptable to do this to
anyone!

mainly the impedance of the input.
the imput will have high resistance but not infinite.


Thanks for the answer, that's what I was generally getting at.

Capacitance is very important as well, both input and feedback.

Op amps always have at least 1.5 pF of input capacitance, and usually more
than that. Say you have a unity gain inverter with 1 meg input and
feedback resistors and Cin = 3pF.

Your feedback network will roll off starting at

f_c = 1/(2 pi (3pF) (500k)) = 106 kHz.

That means that the output swing will start to rise there, to keep the
input in balance. So you wind up with a gain peak. If you had picked 10k
instead of 1 meg, the peak would start 100 times higher in frequency, i.e.
10.6 MHz, which is liable to be outside the amplifier bandwidth, so you
wouldn't see it unless the op amp were reasonably fast.


The shunt capacitance of the feedback resistor is also important, though
it doesn't really matter for unity gain inverters, since the effect is
about the same on each one. It's typically about 0.12 pF for a 1/4 W
axial resistor and 0.05 pF for an 0603. (You also have to watch out for
the capacitance between pads--a nearby ground plane is your friend here.)

However, if you had an amp with a gain of -100, i.e. 1 meg on the input
and 100 meg feedback, that 0.05 pF starts to dominate the feedback at

f_RC = 1/(2 pi (50 fF) 100 meg) = 32 kHz.

Layout problems will make this worse.

Adjusting the feedback capacitance to cancel out the effect of the input
capacitance is a typical way of controlling these problems when you can't
just use lower impedances.

Cheers

If the signal generator has an open-circuit output of 1 volt, when
it's connected to R1 (since the end of R1 connected to the minus

Now, since Rg, R1, and R2 are in series and the current into the -

Then, since R2 = 10kR and the current through it is 50 microamps,
the voltage across it must be:


E = IR = 50ľA * 10kR = 0.5V

Therefore, even though R1 = R2, the gain of the [entire] circuit

Knowing that, and taking the source impedance into consideration,
the resistances of R1 and R2 can be selected so that the opamp's

Trolls need love too, Phil. ;)

Phil (H.), Did you ever read any of the disc-world novels by Terry Pratchet?
He's got that dry British wit similar to Doug Adams. (And nice characters.)
