    Adapt 0-5V sine wave signal (centered on +2.5V) to 3.3V analog read input

    I have an analog Since wave signal that is centered at +2.5VDC and maxes out between 0-+5V. I need to adapt it to the analog read input pin of a 3.3VDC (around 10K-16K internal resistance) microcontroller (nRF52840). I built a voltage divider that moved the +2.5V center to +1.65VDC center...

    Op-Amp Biasing

    How can I provide a DC bias to my low pass op-amp filter? I would like the input signal to be centred around 1.65V. My first idea was to use a 3.3V supply, use a voltage divider and then tap off from the centre of the divider and then connect it to the node where C1 enters the non inverting...

    TL074 Op amp normal, expected heat amount?

    I have two TL072 chips, that seem to run warmer than I thought they would. I'm trying to figure out if my results are typical. In both chips, supply is +/- 15V. Each has two 0.1µF MLCCs, configured from + to GND, and - to GND, right next to the power pins. The power source rails have a couple...

    LM7171 Non-Inverting Amplifier Output Weak & Distorted After 32 MHz LPF

    Hi guys, I need an insight, please help me. I'm building a non-inverting amplifier, where the goal is to amplify a 32 MHz low-passed-input signal. 1kΩ fixed resistor, and a variable resistor with max of 10kΩ. The original signal is a 100 ps pulse at 500 kHz, connected to a photodiode...

    Op Amp not working and overheat

    Hi everyone, I'm very new to electronics world and would like to build a basic non-inverting amplifier using the LM7171 BIN op-amp. My goal is to amplify a 1V DC input, and I'm using a simple feedback configuration: a fixed 1kΩ resistor from input to ground, and a 10kΩ potentiometer from...

    ANALOG Output design questions.

    I'm designing an analog output that takes a 0-5volt from a DAC and uses an op amp to step it up to 0-10volt, then turns it into a 0-20ma signal with a XTR111 and can use a switch to output 0-10v or 0-20ma. I want to make sure everything looks good before I start my first prototype.

    Understanding op amp configuration in a circuit.

    Hello, i'm a student and i need a bit help to understand a circuit (attachment). Attached is the schematic of the DO2 meter from DFRobot (https://wiki.dfrobot.com/Gravity__Analog_Dissolved_Oxygen_Sensor_SKU_SEN0237#More). The circuit gets attached to galvanic DO probe, which should output a...

    2k potentiometer

    Hi guys, I bought a 2k ohm 10 turn potentiometer, I’m trying to use it with arduino analog pin. The problem is that when the pot gets to a certain value the arduino turns off (I think it might be the over current protection). I have allso tryed to use a op amp as a buffer before the analog pin...

    Op amp not working as expected

    Hello guys, I bought an op amp from mouser, the LMP7721 (data sheet below). I have been testing it, I soldered it to a break out board. after connecting 3.3v supply from an arduino uno to v+ and v- and connecting in- to vout I measured between ground and in+ 1.2 to 1.8 V. if I disconnect vout...

    Help this complete and utter newbie get an op amp voltage follower working

    Hi everybody, I'm taking a beginners DC circuitry course and I'm trying to learn on my own time about analog circuitry, something which has fascinated me for a while now. One of the things I'm trying to start with is, as the title states, a voltage follower, since this is (supposed to be) a...

    Designing a functional function generator using op-amps

    Hello everyone, I'm currently having some trouble over a lab practice in which I was required to build an op-amp based function generator. The primary requirement is to generate square and triangle waves (varying their frequencies through potentiometers) using LM-741 IC's. Initially, our...

    Square wave oscillator based on comparator AD8611

    Hi, I need to create a square wave oscillator with variable frequency upto 200 MHz and (optionally) variable duty cycle. I've got several components for this: a comparator AD8611, an operational amplifiers AD8009 and AD8055. I tried mutiple circuits, but it didn't help. Could someone please...

    transistors out of saturation in an op amp

    Hello, what would happen if, in my operational amplifier, some transistors are not in saturation at a certain input voltage? I find it quite hard, nearly impossible, to maintain tall the transistors in the saturation region for every input voltage, some of my transistors leave the saturation...

    overshoot and stability issue

    Hello, I have designed a two stage op amp with a phase margin of 63° ( with a compensation capacitance) which is sufficient to ensure good stability of the circuit. However, I still have a huge overshoot problem when I use it as a follower. How is it possible if my circuit is stable and how can...

    Single op amp PWM generator

    Hello, I have to design a single op amp circuit that has only +15v, -15v and GND as input and outputs a symmetrical PWM signal (+V and -V) with adjustable frequency and duty cycle. I have something that works partly but not completely, I can adjust the duty cycle from ±60% to ±100% but af that...

    Op amp output different from calculated?? Any help appreciated!

    Hi all! I am new in op amp, and currently studying the basics of it.. So I designed this LM741 circuit with a single supply, I made the input at the V+ to be 1.5v supplied by a voltage divider, and a gain of 3 with feedback resistor being 20k and R1 being 10k. My problem is, according to the...

    Noise Parameters and thier effect on Filter design

    Hi everyone, I was designing a filter and my team wanted to ensure the total noise to be as low as possible and hence searched for low noise op-amps. I'm actually having a problem with the term Input Voltage Noise Density, like for AD8605, the datasheet mentions Input Voltage...

    Active Butterworth Bandpass Filter unexpected peak

    I am currently trying to design a bandpass filter in a simulator for a university assignment to the following criteria: Frequencies below 1KHz and above 250KHz should be attenuated. Note that you will need to calculate the cut off frequencies given the pass band (1KHz to 250KHz) should not be...
