OPA991-Q1: negative input signal in Single-Supply situation

Part Number: OPA991-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA991, TINA-TI

hi experts

i saw the Input voltage range spec in our datasheet--MIN input voltage is (V-)-0.1V. if OPA991 is used in Single-Supply situation, such as (V-) is 0V, GND. 

in this situation, whether i can use Inverting amplifier circuit to zoom in negative input signal(-0.1V~0V) to output positive signal? There is no requirement for output accuracy.

could you simulate this situation and share your comments? 

thanks.

  • Hello Jay, 

    The OPA991 can work in an inverting op-amp configuration to give a positive output. I have attached a simple TINA-TI simulation to demonstrate this. This configuration has a gain of -1.8(-Rf/Rin) with it's output swinging close to the 5V rail, and I added a DC source on the non-inverting terminal to compensate the Vos on the input terminal.

    Once you load this .TSC file. enter ctrl+alt+t to get this transient response.
