Amplifier Model

Enough of filters. Lets now look at the simple amplifier model in figure 3.14

 
Figure 3.14:  A simple amplifier model.

Notice that is with respect to ground while is a voltage difference. For a typical operational amplifier at . As , due to internal capacitance, ie. the amplifier behaves like a low-pass filter.

where is the transfer function of a low-pass filter.
