That would depend on what your circuit does. How about posting a diagram?Can anyone suggest an alternative replacement for a LM7705? part or circuit?
Thanks
Yeah they show stock but i checked with them and they are out of stock on all types.Did you check my link? They claim to have them in stock or at least available.
It's pretty simple, using a ADA4091-4 op amp with a single 5v+ supply the V- terminal is biased to a -0.232 voltage so the negative rail can reach 0 volts. See the attached data sheet for a description.That would depend on what your circuit does. How about posting a diagram?
Are you suggesting making a differential input using two ADC Inputs? I'm not sure on how this will help. The circuit is designed to take a 4-20ma signal, drop it across a 250Ω resistor giving 1-5 volts. This signal goes to the opamp + input. A 1v ref is input on the - input. The gain on the opamp results in a 0-5 volt input to the ADC. In order to reach "0" rail on the opamp a small negative bias is used for the negative power rail of the opamp.Have you thought of any ways to avoid the need for a negative supply altogether? That would be an advantage, because it eliminates the hard-to-get IC and it avoids any potential damage to your analogue input and it avoids any possible problems with noise from the LM7705.
DO you have a spare A/D input?
If so, you could make a reference for the analogue circuitry at, say, 1.2V (because there are plenty of 1.2V references available), or even just a diode. It doesn't even matter if it drifts with temperature. Then connect the reference to one A/D the signal to another and subtract. You might even have differential A/D inputs. Where do the inputs to the op-amp come from?
So why do you need the op-amp? Connect one end of the 250Ω resistor to ground, and connect the other end to the A/D input.Are you suggesting making a differential input using two ADC Inputs?

Because i need an op amp and you should always have a buffer before a A/D converter. I just looking for an answer to the neg biasingSo why do you need the op-amp? Connect one end of the 250Ω resistor to ground, and connect the other end to the A/D input.
250Ω is plenty low enough to drive an A/D input.
If it's a 12-bit A/D subtract 819 from the A/D reading. If you need the full 0-4096 output, multiply by 5 and shift two places right. You will lose some resolution, but it's less than 1 bit.
(If your processor doesn't multiply, save the reading, shift two places left, add the saved reading and then shift two places right)
Who told you that?you should always have a buffer before a A/D converter.
