Problem 6.5-3

As usual, we call V1 the inverting input node voltage and V2 the non-inverting input node voltage.

The two currents entering the op amp are equal to zero.

We have V2 = V1, but we know that V2 = 0 V so V1 = 0 V

We have i0 = i1 + i2, where i1 is the current from above the output node, and i2 is the one from under.

We have V0 = – 6. 103 *i1 = – 6. 103 *i2 so we have i1 = i2.

As we have a virtual ground at the inverting node, we can find the equivalent circuit for the left part:


The two resistor in parallel give a Re1 = 3 kΩ resistor, in series with the upper 6 kΩ one.

This give Re2 = 9 kΩ

We get 12 V for 9 kΩ thus a current of I = 12/9 mA = 4/3 mA

So we have i1 = 2/3 mA

Finally we have i0 = i1 + i2 = 2*i1 = 4/3 mA = 1.33 mA

And V0 = – 6. 103 *i1 = – 4 V
