9. Op-amp Converters with Parallel Negative Feedback Op-amp Integrator Builder
So far, we have managed to derive, build and even "invent" a total of 68 circuit building blocks. Here, we will improve almost all passive circuits we have discussed on the first (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) converting them into almost ideal circuits with parallel negative feedback and putting them in the library ; thus it will grow with new 22 circuit building blocks reaching up to 90 basic circuits:

9.1. Converting passive circuits into active ones (a universal principle). Deriving the idea of removing disturbance by antidisturbance from many situations of our life. Concretizing into a principle of removing voltage by antivoltage (parallel negative feedback).
9.1.1. Converting resistive passive circuits into op-amp circuits.
9.1.1.1. Op-amp converters with current output: voltage-to-current converter, resistance-to-current converter and voltage-into-resistance divider. Keeping a constant current by supplementing the input voltage in order to compensate the losses in the load (method 3). Future application in ramp generators.
