LM2902: differential circuit questions

Part Number: LM2902

Hi

LM2902 TINA simulation: differential circuit.

1. resistor=10k, single 15V power, output is good.

2. resistor=1k, single 15V power, output is wrong.

3. resistor=1k, +15V and -15V power, output is good.

what's the cause? thanks.

    Hi Max,

    can you post your simulation file?

    Max,

    The output must be able to sink the current from the inverting feedback. With both input sides at 1.4V , the ideal output would be 0V.  With 10k resistors, the feedback current is 1.4V/20k = 70uA . The model supports this sink current at low voltage, however most  LM2902 will need to use the second sink driver, a PNP follower, so output will be near 600mV.  With 1k resistors, things get worse; now sink current is 700uA so an output near 0.7V is certain. See figure 1 in data sheet, output sinking characteristics. Also see application note section 3.1 , Design Guidelines for Devices with LM324/LM358 Cores

    Try 100k resistors, that is only 7uA sink current.
