Built-in Modes

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)

Figure 2. Non-Inverting PGA
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)
