Hello! and thank you!
What is a good way to determine a power supply voltage for a given OpAmp?
If I intend to have a few volt at maximum signal to manage, what real difference does it make to create a power supply with a voltage larger than the OpAmp is designed to work with? If this OpAmp works to within 1 volt of the rail supply, is it really going to make any difference or be better to make a supply of a greater than 1 volt-to-signal? I understand creating a safe cushion, but lets then say, is there a benefit to creating a supply of more than double the signal? What is generally sought after in designing such a circuit?
Thanks again!
