Functional Description

1.

R

i

Inverting input resistance which sets the closed-loop gain in conjunction with R

high pass filter with C

π R

2.

C

i

Input coupling capacitor which blocks the DC voltage at the amplifiers input terminals. Also creates a

highpass filter with R

π R

for an explanation of how to determine the value of C
