Inverting Op-Amp Gain Calculator

Calculate voltage gain and output of an inverting op-amp configuration from feedback and input resistors.

V

Voltage Gain

-10.00 V/V

Gain (dB)20.00 dB
Output Voltage-5.000 V

Voltage Gain vs Input Resistor (Rin)

Inverting Op-Amp Configuration

Formula

Gain = -Rf / Rin

V_out = -(Rf / Rin) x V_in

The negative sign means the output is 180 degrees out of phase with the input. Input impedance equals Rin.

Example Calculation

Rin = 10k, Rf = 100k, input signal is 0.5 V.

  1. 01Gain = -100 / 10 = -10 V/V
  2. 02Gain in dB = 20 x log10(10) = 20 dB
  3. 03V_out = -10 x 0.5 = -5.0 V
