The circuit at right integrates the input voltage by using an amplifier.

" ; Provides negative feedback for low output impedance needs. But it also distorts the output."1

The use of an integrator circuit is the opposite of a differentiator circuit. In other words, If you have a triangle wave input and you differentiate it you will get a square wave output. If you run the square wave as the input to an integrator circuit you will end up with the triangle wave for the output2. The resistor () is used to provide feedback3 of the output DC voltage. Without this, circuit wouldn't perform as calculated because of the un-ideal conditions of real life.

  • I agree with Greg just like you did with square sine wave do the same with triangle wave instead of ^^^, makes it confusing and I don't believe that's a standard way of representing it.
  • I will add one more thing. You don't need to have the types of waves within "".
