I've not really spent much time on this forum, but I look forward to lending a hand and getting to know y'all. However, I have a problem for you:
For my senior-level design course I have to construct a Voltage to current converter using a 741 OPAMP (datasheet). Here are the design requirements:
1. Must utilize the general form of either figure shown below.
2. Must provide a transconductance of 1 [mA/V]
3. Must utilize +/- 12V supplies.
4. Must be able to drive a maximum load of 2 kΩ, between the range of -3V to +5 V input.
Here are my problems:
1. I can achieve the desired functionality between -3V to +3.4V, but something is saturating and we can't go above +3.4V. I think it is voltage saturated, but I can't be sure.
2. If it is voltage saturated, I don't know how to fix that problem.
