Use the following arrangement: an inverting operational amplifier with input resistor $R_a$ and feedback resistor $R_f$, followed by an op amp integrator with input resistor $R_i$ and feedback capacitor $C_i$. Ground both non-inverting inputs. Each ideal operational amplifier has infinite input impedance, so its inputs draw no electric current; negative feedback makes the inverting input a virtual ground.

Kirchhoff's current law at the first summing junction gives $V_1=-(R_f/R_a)V_{\mathrm{in}}$. At the second summing junction it gives $V_1/R_i+C_{i}d{V}_{\mathrm{out}}/dt=0$. Consequently the two inversions cancel:The initial output voltage records the initial capacitor charge. A reset switch across $C_i$ sets it to zero. The formula holds while both stages remain within their supply rails; a persistent input voltage otherwise produces amplifier saturation.

The non-inverting input is grounded, so the finite voltage gain gives $V_{\mathrm{OUT}}=-A{V}^{-}$, or $V^{-}=-V_{\mathrm{OUT}}/A$. Infinite input impedance makes Kirchhoff's current law at the inverting inputSubstitute $V^{-}=-V_{\mathrm{OUT}}/A$ and multiply by $R_1{R}_2$:Hence the inverting operational amplifier hasAs $A\to \infty$, the voltage gain tends to $-R_2/R_1$. Setting $V^{-}=0$ before taking that limit would discard precisely the correction being calculated.

Use an inverting operational amplifier. Ground the non-inverting input, connect the source to the inverting input through $R_{\mathrm{in}}$, and connect $R_f$ from the output back to that same input.

In linear operation the ideal operational amplifier draws no input electric current, and feedback holds the inverting input at the same electric potential as the grounded non-inverting input. This node is a virtual ground. Kirchhoff's current law there givesThe source supplies current $I_i=V_i/R_{\mathrm{in}}$, so its input impedance is $R_{\mathrm{in}}$. The required design is thereforeOnly these two resistors and the single ideal operational amplifier are needed in the signal circuit; its power supplies are implicit. The result assumes an input small enough to keep the output within its linear operating range.
