Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a signal conditioning circuit that incorporates principles of both input and output impedance. Explain how you would choose the components.
💡 Hint: Think about how each component influences the impedance characteristics.
Suppose an op-amp has a stated input impedance of 10 kΩ and the source has an output impedance of 1 kΩ. Calculate the voltage drop across the source when connected to the op-amp.
💡 Hint: Use the voltage divider formula.
