1. What is Op Amp Output Voltage?

The output voltage of an operational amplifier (op amp) with current is determined by Ohm's Law (V = I × R). This calculation is fundamental in designing and analyzing op amp circuits, particularly current-to-voltage converters.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the basic formula:

\[ V_{out} = I \times R \]

Where:

\( V_{out} \) — Output voltage (V)
\( I \) — Current flowing through the resistor (A)
\( R \) — Feedback resistance (ohm)

Explanation: The output voltage is directly proportional to both the input current and the feedback resistance value.

3. Importance of Output Voltage Calculation

Details: Accurate output voltage calculation is crucial for designing transimpedance amplifiers, photodiode circuits, and other current-sensing applications where precise voltage output is required.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter current in amperes (A) and resistance in ohms (Ω). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a typical current range for op amp inputs?
A: Typical input currents range from picoamps to milliamps depending on the op amp type and application.

Q2: How does this relate to transimpedance gain?
A: The resistance value R is effectively the transimpedance gain (V/A) in a current-to-voltage converter circuit.

Q3: What limits the maximum output voltage?
A: The op amp's supply voltage and current output capability determine the maximum possible output voltage.

Q4: Does this work for AC signals?
A: Yes, but you must consider the frequency response and impedance characteristics of the components.

Q5: How does input bias current affect accuracy?
A: Input bias currents can introduce errors, especially with very small signal currents or very large resistances.
