Part Number: OPA145
Hi, do you know why the U2 in this circuit does not buffer the 2,9 Volts at +5Volts on the supply (see attached)?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello Sebastien,
The OPA145 maximum Common-mode voltage (VCM) is rated at (V+) – 3.5 V. Therefore, the maximum positive VCM for a +5 V supply is +1.5 V. In the circuit schematic the VCM is +2.9 V, which exceeds the VCM limit by +1.4 V. The +6.5 V supply sets the +2.9 V input right below a now higher +3 V VCM maximum.
A different op amp having a higher positive VCM limit closer to the supply rail rating would be needed for a +5 V supply application.
