#162527 - re: transfer function
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Yes I need that transfer function (Vout=V2) . I mentioned LMP2234 which has an absolute maximum spec says "+/-300mV maximum input differential voltage" (Do I really need to go with absolute maximum ratings?) .I conclude from this is that the opamp won't work.


You need to go back to op-amp school.

The maximum differential input voltage is the maximum voltage you can apply to the op-amp's input pins, + and -, and expect the device to function as an op-amp. Why? Because remember one of the Golden Rules of op-amps: the voltages at the input pins are always equal.

Now the voltages at the op-amp input pins are rarely the [i]circuit's[/i] input voltages. The circuit includes the feedback and other resistors!

So you can certainly have a difference amplifier that subtracts 12 V from 15 V. Look up difference amplifiers in the Horowitz and Hill book, "The Art Of Electronics."

               Vout = V2 ?            01/01/70 00:00      
               I 'm entirly confused...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I explain it again            01/01/70 00:00      
                     So Vout = V2 - V1            01/01/70 00:00      
                        I do have a common GND            01/01/70 00:00      
                           So Vout = V2 -15 ?            01/01/70 00:00

                                          Not clear            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             What VOut range do you want?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     I think this will do the trick...            01/01/70 00:00
