Abstract

An operational amplifier circuit with improved feedback factor is provided that includes an input impedance, an operational amplifier, and a current conveyor. The input impedance is operable to receive an input signal. The operational amplifier comprises an inverting input node, a non-inverting input node, and an output node. The operational amplifier is operable to generate an output signal at the output node based on the input signal. The current conveyor is coupled between the input impedance and the inverting input node of the operational amplifier. The current conveyor is operable to provide a low impedance to the input impedance and a high impedance to the operational amplifier.
