 However, if the values of the resistors are too low, a great deal of current is required from the op amp output for proper operation. This causes excessive power dissipation in the op amp itself, which has many disadvantages. The increased dissipation leads to self-heating of the integrated circuit, which can cause a change in the dc characteristics of the op amp itself.  Also, the heat generated can eventually cause the junction temperature to rise above 150º C, the commonly accepted maximum limit for most semiconductors. The junction temperature is the temperature at the silicon chip itself. On the other end of the spectrum, if the resistor values are too high, there is an increase in noise and the susceptibility to parasitic capacitances, which can limit bandwidth and possibly cause instability and oscillation.     However, if the values of the resistors are too low, a great deal of current is required from the op amp output for proper operation.

 If all the input resistors R<sub>1</sub>, R<sub>2</sub>, ... R<sub>n</sub> are equal but not equal to R<sub>f</sub> then from the equation we can see that it can be simplified such that the output will be equal to the algebraic sum of the inputs times a common gain factor of -R<sub>f</sub>/R<sub>1</sub>. If all the resistors are made equal including R<sub>f</sub> then the output will be simply the negative sum of the inputs. If all the input resistors R<sub>1</sub>, R<sub>2</sub>, ...
