The OPAMP module includes software configurable internal connections, enabling most common op-amp modes. The different modes are briefly introduced in Table 1. For more details related to implementation of the built-in modes, refer to the datasheet.

Voltage
Follower
A unity gain amplifier. Vout = Vin |

Inverting/Non-Inverting PGA
A software configurable Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) using the internal resistor ladder. Vout = Vin (1 + R2/R1) |

Cascaded Inverting/Non-Inverting PGA
The OPAMPs can be internally connected in cascade to provide a larger varity of gains. Vout = Vin (1 + R2/R1)(1 + R2/R1)(1 + R2/R1) |
