Hi,
I would like to amplify a Unipolar 0 - 4.096V to a Bipolar ±10V signal.
I tried filtering the amplifiers, but there is no option to choose input/ouput ranges. Can someone help me?
The signal is coming from a DAC 12-bit
Best regards,
Luc

Hi Luc,
Your input signal is 4.096V and your output range is 20V, so the gain should be 20/4.096;
The output is bipolar ±10V signal, a high voltage amplifier is needed.
I design with the OPA171, and use the following circuit.
You could also choose the OPA170/2, and if you need higher accuracy, OPA191/2/6/7 may work.
For detailed design information, please refer to the below application note.
Dear will,
I also calculated the resistors for your schematic, but I have as small question.
My answers are: 4R3 = R4 and 41.6667R1 = R2
How do you choose the values for the resistors if you get such weird results( at least for R1) do you just pick a resistor that is around 42 times as big or is there something else that makes this easier?
Best regards
Hi Luc,
I did the resistor value selection work using the "Analog Engineer's Calculator". Below is the software download link.

I use the calculator: Amplifier and Comparators -> Find Amplifier Gain. For we have already know the gain we want, we select the inverting gain circuit to calculate resistor value. For inverting circuit, the gain should be -41.6667, and we choose 1% resistor, it's most common and you could choose more accurate resistor which give you more better match but also cost more. Then we get the result, the below picture show the result.
Highly recommend this tool for you.

Hi Luc,
You could add caps(value should follow the datasheet instruction) to filter output noise of the reference IC. And you could also add caps parallel with R7 and R2 to get low pass filter to limit the output noise of the total circuit output noise.
