Dear Forum,
We are using the OPA2188AIDR into an application.
We measure the gage displacement when we drive a piezo.
The system is in close loop, and some time we have some spikes after the error amplifier.
The OPA2188 is used to construct and amplify the gage signal. We suspect the following circuit OPA2188,
if we touch the device with a finger, it will be very sensitive.
If we place a mini "shield" with a copper foil connected to earth top of the body of the circuit,
we minimize noise and spikes due to esd.
Is this how to configure the circuit is normal?, or so we have another problem relating to it?.
How to reduce spikes or ESD? problem. Have we to add extra components around the OPA.
Thank you for your valuable information.
Best regards.
