Integration Circuit

Integration is obtained by reversing the resistor and the capacitor as shown in figure 6.11. The capacitor is now in the feedback loop.

Analysis gives

or

Using dV/dt=I/C gives

and thus the same result as above.

The frequency response is shown in figure 6.12.

We can combine the above inverting, summing, offset, differentiation and integration circuits to build an analog computer that can solve differential equations. However, today, the differentiators and integrators are mainly used to condition signals.
