Hi All,
Just wanted a few pointers on some confusion I'm having.
Im building a RC phase shift oscillator, with 3 RC networks and 1 op amp.
Now, the output of this comes directly from the output from the op amp. I now want to simulate a 1k load.
Does this mean I tie a 1k resistor from the output of the op amp to ground?
Also, I need to give a visual warning of an overload condition of the amplifier. What actually is overloading of an operational amplifier? Does it mean that the load resistance is too low therefore the load is trying to draw too much current? Does it mean that the op amp output voltage clips?
If it is the former case, of the current being too high, then what value should I look for on the datasheet to make sure I dont exceed it and overload the amplifier?
Thanks so so much in advance,
Kind Regards,
Paw.
