#162547 - Don't confuse "OPamp" with "OPamp circuit"!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Kai Klaas said:
Ap, you confuse the input voltage of OPamp with the input voltage of OPamp circuit!

Look at this scheme:



....So, the differential input voltage of OPamp circuit is 20V - 15V = 5V. But the differential input voltage of OPamp is 3.7736V - 3.7736V = 0V! In reality you will notice a slight deviation from zero, caused by the specified offset voltage.

So, the differential input voltage of OPamp is within safe limits. Also, the maximum common mode input voltage range of LMP2234 of -0.2V...4.2V isn't violated either, because the common mode input voltage is 3.7736V.

The second amplifier amplifies the output voltage of first OPamp and fabricates an output voltage of 1.1628V x 4.3 = 5.000V. Et voilĂ !

Thanks Kai , yes I got confused between the circuit and the Opamp. I have a question ,thats when is the differential input maximum voltage gets violated as the opamp always tries to maintain similar voltages at its input terminals . I read a lot regarding its use in balanced line drivers audio etc .

Ap

                  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
