If Rf = 1000*Rs and G is 106, then Vin is in the range of 1mV, a so-called virtual ground.
Summation
Input impedance of NGSA
mechatronics.mech.northwestern.edu/design_ref/electrical_design
• Input resistance = Vin/Iin = R1= Rs ≈ 1KΩ • Way less than the 1012Ω of the op amp itself• NG: R1 may become voltage divider withsensor output resistance• Impedance includes frequency-dependent current-voltage relationship e.g. V(jω)=jωC*I(jω);impedance is a complex number

A good circuit for isolation
Positive gain single input op amp ckt
If Rs = 0 then Vout = Vin, UGVF
The positive gain amplifier cannot have a gain less than 1.
It can have only one input.
Differential amplifier with external resistors
Current-voltage relationship of a diode
• Where kT/q is about 25mV at room temp

Ideal diode / half wave rectifer
• When VIN > 0 volts output current can flow through the diode and does so until Vin = Vout. (low Rf, like UGVF) • When Vin < 0 the the diode looks like a high resistance, the op amp output saturates at the negative supply voltage, and the left resistor "pulls down" VOUT until it's zero.

Exponential (anti-log) amplifier
A non-linear amplifier used to emphasis positive spikes in waveform; makes sense only when Vs > 0.
