Re: Op amp matching

With 10µV accuracy at the integrator input, I get 10mV spikes when switching gain 1000 to/from 500. That is with no input signal. The spike is a steep front followed by a RC like decay. I do not switch at signal zero crossing. With signal, the spike is blended with the signal. I have simulated this ...

Re: karma

At my place, they quickly bill on estimated readings, with a chunky over estimation. Once I had the meter kid coming while I was deep at digging and moving stones and soil. Because of my back, hurting at that time, I asked him kindly to lift the quite heavy concrete cover for me. He "smartly&qu...

Re: Preventing mic preamplifier HF oscillation

The schematic in the original post shows two 100µF on +12V -12V at the op-amp :shock: You do need two 100nF as close as possible to the op-amp pins. These are a must. Add those, keep the 100µF, for general decoupling. I always put 100nF Multy Layer Ceramic caps at each and every IC supply pins. Rece...

Re: Op amp matching

Thanks, you save me a lot of time pointing to me in the right direction. The Deboo can be fine, depending of the application and one cap only is nice for a differential. I abandoned the Deboo in an application where I want the servo loop to give a very best servo error correction. I bumped on the re...

Re: Op amp matching

@terkio We had a servo discussion that began with the OPA2188. I did a test check with slow op amps as simple integrators to see when/where they stopped being integrators due to bandwidth and load-driving. This exercise reinforced the point JR has made regarding the importance of passive input pole...

Re: A Low Noise Balanced Input Moving Coil Preamp Using the ZTX851

Thanks a lot for your help.
I sure need a "round tuit", I have high grass waiting for me.
At that place in the countryside my grand father had a couple of goats, the goat keep is still there, ready for new goats.

Write Only Memories are great to implement overflow bit buckets.
