trying to get the output to be -40V. How could I use the OPA547 to get this output using (V-) set to -48 and (V+) set to GND.
Thanks

Hi user83215,
It should be doable with the OPA547. Please answer the following questions:

Hi user83215,
I am not sure about exactly what you need from the OPA547 circuit, but based on the information you provided I developed the circuit shown below.
The power supply provides -48 V relative to ground. V+ is at 0 V and V- is at -48 V. The resistive divider consisting of R1 and R2 divides the -48 V, to -40 V which is applied to the OPA547 non-inverting input. The OPA547 is configured as a gain-of-one buffer (+1 V/V) so the output should be very close to -40 V. RL is connected to ground and the output current flows through it and is sunk to the -48 V Vs line through the OPA547 output. When the OPA547 output is at -40 V a 200-ohm RL results in an output current of 200 mA.
I have attached my TINA Spice circuit in case you want to try some simulations.
Make sure you observe the OPA547 thermal considerations explained in the Applications Information, starting on datasheet Pg. 8.
