I was having a look at a dual op-amp intergrator today - something that I haven't done for a very long time. I thought to myself "this couldn't be too hard" and quickly worked out what I assumed the output of the circuit would be, using some vaguely remembered formulas from long ago. Turns out that I was wrong and so I got some books out, looked up how to do it and got the correct result.
The thing is, I still don't know why my original method didn't work, and have looked at it for a few hours now without a light bulb moment. I actually went through an old circuit analysis book, blew the dust of it, and tried to find the answer; albeit well amongst the earlier chapters. Once I got to where it was discussing Laplace transforms my eyes began to glaze over, and the need for a strong beer became palpable.
I was able to sort out the beer, but the answer to my dilemma still eludes me. If any of you kind folk could peruse the attached PDF and give me a succinct answer I'd be well obliged.
I'm just hoping that the answer isn't another bloody differential equation
