OPA2348: Operational Amplifier Output Error

Part Number: OPA2348
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDA-01513,

Hello E2E Experts,

Good day.

I had difficulty with the reference design TIDA-01513 - this is the result of a leakage detection system simulating the contact of the positive electrode of a high-voltage battery with low-voltage GND (as shown in Figure 2-9)
I tried to verify the conclusions in the calculation table 3-2(Riso=0 in table 3-2)

Since the error caused by the IOS and ib of the op-amp is only the voltage drop when flowing through the feedback resistor, I think that when the 2 relays are closed V_NEG = Vref+(Vref+HVbatt)/Rn * Rf/Rn, the following is my current equivalent mode and calculation process (considering the Vos effect).

As shown in the image above, my calculation results are different from the V_Neg obtained by the TI Table 3-2 100V system, and I would like to know why...

Hopefully, someone can tell me how to calculate the worst output of an op-amp or tell me what went wrong with the above calculations, thank you.

Regards,

CSC

  • Hi,

    I don't think so.

    It's like a battery with the two battery poles connected to a resistive load whcih equals "Rp + Rn". Because of that the current flowing through "Rp" and "Rn" is just

    HV / (Rp + Rn).

    And this is the current which also flows in and out of the virtual grounds of OPAmps and further through the feedback resistors "Rf". So, the following is valid:

    Vpos = Vref - HV / (Rp + Rn) x Rf

    Vneg = Vref + HV / (Rp + Rn) x Rf

  • And, by the way, I don't think that it is a good idea to connect 100n caps (C16 and C18) directly from the outputs of OPA2348 to signal ground. This really looks goofy. The same is true for C7.
