Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA994, OPA2544, TLV9034

 Hi     Input +/- 10V driving  below 10mA Current. i need buffer output same voltage +/-10v  i need current 50mA each channel drive output Required.

Please suggest device or circuit Reference this is for signal condition circuit

    Why are you saying "each channel"? How many channels are there?

    What power supplies are available?

    The OPA994 should work with ±12 V supplies.

    8 signal condition inputs driving from AIO Card -10v to + 10v output same out i need output but current 50mA

    15v and 28 V i have 12v also ok

    In theory, the TLV9034/TLV9534/TLV9634 (they have different speeds) can do this, but with such a high output current, you might get power dissipation problems. You might need to use separate packages (TLV9x32/TLV9x31) that can be better cooled. If that does not help, the OPA2544 has a TO-220 package.

    Hello Shivaraj, 

    There are many answers to this question since it is open ended. I will explain the needed relationships and you may make the best decision. 

    If this is a DC application (no frequency involved), the op amp does not need large bandwidth (>5MHz). If there is a frequency component, I recommend an op amp with BW 10x the largest frequency of the application. 

    Large output current requires heat dissipation usually in terms of a thermal pad. 

    Since the input and output is ±, this requires the op amp be placed in dual supply.

    Since there are 8 signal condition inputs, often times it is easier to use 2 quad devices but not required. May use 8 single channel devices, or 4 dual channel devices.

    Depending on the power supplies available, rail-to-rail I/O may be required.

    For the buffer design, we have an existing circuit here from our reference analog designs: Buffer (follower) circuit

    I have created a solution for you but feel free to tweak it around as you see fit: 

    I suggest you use the OPA4990IRTER, it is 4 channel high voltage general purpose op amp that has a thermal pad: 

    Each channel may be used in the following configuration: 

    Since you said you have a 28V rail available this may be split into ±14V to provide ample headroom for a ±10V buffer. 
    High output current drive degrades the max output the op amp may provide, Figure 6-14 and Figure 6-15 accurately display this. 

    A safe estimate is to expect 2V from each rail to be limited. This means the application has ±12V of usability, which is ok for the expected ±10V. 
    Here is the TINA sim I used: 10V_buffer.TSC

    All the best,
    Carolina
