Notice that the gain V₁/V; is theoretically infinite at DC (s = 0), hence any small DC signal at the input will saturate the opamp output over time. In a practical integrator circuit, a large resistor in parallel with the capacitor is required to prevent the capacitor from storing charge due to offset currents and voltages at the input. This configuration is known as "lossy" integrator or a first-order lowpass circuit, which is shown in Fig. 2. The output voltage is now given by the following expression: V₂ R₂/R₁ ;V; 1+ sR₂ C The DC gain is now finite and determined by the ratio of the two resistors.
