Hi, I am trying to control ops amp output voltage from 0 to 24 volt. Intent to use a digital Pot for VR1. Being a newbie at this like some advise.
what op amp to use to control 24V and if this schematic needs more attention.

 

1. It needs more attention. Pins 3 & 5 are the power connections, and the difference must be at least as large as the range of the input signal.
2. Opamps start by computing the difference between the (+) or non-inverting input, and the (-) or inverting input.
3. This difference is then multiplied by a large number on the order of 10^5 or 10^6
4. In your configuration, the output at pin 4 will try to make the voltage at pin 2 equal to the voltage at pin 1 which is 24 volts. It may or may not be able to do this depending on things you have not shown on your schematic.

I think you need to go back to first principles and review the proper opamp configurations and how to analyze them. For example if you replace all three resistors and connect an appropriate power supply you will have a voltage follower and by definition pin 2 and pin 4 will both have the same voltage and the difference between pin 1 and pin 2 will be very close to zero.

Made some changes.

 

That configuration will not allow an output voltage less then the 24V to to the plus input, it can only amplify the voltage.

One way to adjust the output from 0V to 24V is to tie the op amp output directly to the minus input to make it a follower, and then use the pot wiper to output 0V to 24V at the plus input.

How much op amp output current do you need?

Why not use the Op Amp as a buffer and vary the + input voltage through a pot?

Looking at 40m

If I understand correctly is this what I should be doing

But I am controlling this with a digital Pot which does not have 24V tolerance

 

Connect the pot to 6V source and use an opamp with gain of 4.

Sorry for my ignorance. I understand to change from 24 to 6 volt. I did not understand the rest . If I am correct the feedback circuit remains the same.

 

As the "track" of your digital pot has a resistance of 10K if you connect one end of the track to ground and the other end of the track to +24 volts via a 30K resistor you will have 6 volts across the ends of the track. (You have creates a simple potential divider.)
You then need to configure the OP amp to multiply it's 0 to +6 volt input by 4 to create a 0 to +24 volts output.
Depending on the op amp you use you may need its negative supply pin to be a few volts negative of ground.
Note I have never used digital pots so I am assuming they behave like a normal pot except fot the voltage limitations.

Is this correct

 

hi,
Les states 30k.

Your op amp is only configured as a voltage follower so it's output will only be 0 to +6 volts. You need to read up on using op amps.
Edit. I have just noticed that Eric has spotted another error in your circuit that I had missed. As you have used a 10 K resistor instead of the 30 K that I suggested you will be applying 12 volts across the ends of the "track" on the digital pot. So it looks like you have to learn ohms law again.

Noted Thanks E

 

hi,
This is a LTS sim of the circuit, as you are learning, I have deleted the actual resistor values.

E

 

Thanks

Can I confirm as 100 and 10 ohms for gain of 1.1

 

Can I confirm as 100 and 10 ohms for gain of 1.1

Hi Dave,
No, well off the mark, far too low a value and the wrong ratio.

Hint: what values did you use for the Resistor and potentiometer. ??

E

Non Inverting Gain equation: 1+ (Rfb/Rin)

Rfb= Feedback resistor, Rin = Input resistor

 

No.
An opp amp attempts to keep the voltage difference between the inverting and non inverting inputs to zero. You want the gain of the opp amp (With it's associated components.) to be x 4. R2 and R3 form a potential divider. You can't calculate the actual value of R2 and R3 but you can calculate the ratio of their values. So if we say that R2 is 10 K calculate the value of R3. I am not giving you the answer as I am trying to get you to understand op amp circuits. I you have to think about how it works you will be able to work out how to do the calculations for different configurations.

Here is a link to some basic information a number of configurations in which op amps can be used.
