Question/Problem: What is the benefit of using an inverting op-amp circuit as opposed to other types?

Answer/Solution: FlexiForce™ Sensors will work both with inverting and with non-inverting op-amp circuits, as well as with non-op-amp circuits.

An op-amp circuit buffers the sensor and allows gain or attenuation circuits to be developed.

The output of the sensor is non-linear.  An inverting op amp circuit gives you a more linear output than a non-inverting op-amp circuit does.
