Hi,
Newbie here.
I am a mechanical engineer with very limited knowledge of electronics. I am trying to educate myself by reading (Great Forum, BTW), and , like Shockmyselfsmart, have been experimenting with a 741 just to see what does what..
With V+ of 1.33v, I get a Vo of about 0.82v, with no Vin connected. Having read the previous posts in this thread I understand the idea of the offset null on the 741.
However, I have also been playing with a 6462 dual opamp, and with a V+ of 1.33v I get a Vo of up to 1v, again with nothing connected to Vin. The 6462 does not have offset null pins.
My question is this: Is a Vo normal for a 6462, or have I blown the amp, or am I just being a muppet? If a Vo is normal, how do I compensate for it?
Sorry if this is probably a very basic question, but please be gentle with this virgin!
Thanks,
Terry,
