    am i alone in thinking that the non-inverting input of an op amp should really be called the "verting" input, just a thought :p

    Possibly, but the real question is; does it really matter that much?

    Ooh, a little off topic but hey, Shuriken; is your sig from a Discworld book? I'm sure I recognise it from somewhere and I think that's it.

    :geek: Hmm... vert is short for convert (see Chambers) which implies a change (Latin vertere, to turn) so perhaps we should stick to the usual forms. :p ;)

    no-non-not-inverting-definantly-not-inverting op-amp.

    That should clear things up.

    btw has everyone in this thread read Hitchhikers?
    I read a bunch of them, and still dont get it.

    I almost read through the whole quadrilogy twice in two days...what makes it extra sad is that this was during my spare time in school during finals days in 10th grade.
