To avoid offset errors place a R = R1||R2 ||RF to ground from the
non-inverting input.

VOLTAGE BUFFER
The advantage of this
connection is that the
load connected across one
output has no (or little)
effect on the other
output. The outputs are
buffered or isolated from
each other.

1. Calculate the output voltage of a cascaded circuit if the first
stage is a non-inverting amplifier and the 2nd and 3rd is an
inverting op-amp having the following values for A1: Vin =
20V, RF1=510K and Ri1=18K; for A2: RF2=680K,
Ri2=22K; for A3: RF3=750K, Ri3=33K. (Vo = 412 mV)
2. Calculate the output voltage for inverting summing amplifier
having input resistances of 47K and 12K with an input
voltages of 40mV rms and 20 mV rms respectively. Use
feedback resistor value of 470K. (-1.18V)
3. For a difference amplifier if RF=300K with input resistor
value of R1=150K(one terminal connected to inverting input)
and R2=10K(one terminal connected to non-inverting input)
and R3=10K, determine output voltageVo.(Vo = -2.5V)
