It is shown that under reasonable assumptions a common op amp circuit operating under nonlinear conditions possesses a nonlinear input admittance operator . By an appropriate choice of parameters a negative admittance may be obtained in the vicinity of the origin. Bounds on the behavior of and Its inverse are given.
