The LT1013x operational amplifiers are useful in a wide range of signal conditioning applications where high DC accuracy is needed.
A typical application for an operational amplifier in an inverting amplifier. This amplifier takes a positive voltage on the input and makes it a negative voltage of the same magnitude. In the same manner, it also makes negative voltages positive.
The supply voltage must be chosen such that it is larger than the input voltage range and output range. For instance, this application scales a signal of ±0.5 V to ±1.8 V. Setting the supply at ±12 V is sufficient to accommodate this application.
Determine the gain required by the inverting amplifier using Equation 1 and Equation 2:
Once the desired gain is determined, choose a value for RI or RF. Choosing a value in the kΩ range is desirable because the amplifier circuit will use currents in the milliamp range. This ensures the part does not draw too much current. This example chooses 10 kΩ for RI, which means 36 kΩ is used for RF. This was determined by Equation 3.
