OPA2107 Unusual high DC offset at the output.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA2107, OPA2132, TINA-TI

Hello,

         I have an audio circuit that use a standard dual input operational amplifier. I tried different opamps and when I inserted opa2132, the DC voltage at the output is around 5mw. However, when I switch the OPAMP to Difet OPA2107, the DC offset at the output went up to 250mw. Can someone tell me how to solve this issue?

  • Hello,

    From the description and the picture, there are a couple things that are unclear. Is R5 = 0Ω? Is the symbol above the NPN transistors V+? What voltage supplies are you using? When you say output has a DC voltage, are you referring to the output of the amplifier or the output after the feedback path? Also, by 250mW I assume you mean 250mV, correct?

    I've attached a TINA-TI simulation of your circuit with both the OPA2132 and the OPA2107 included. Both circuits appear to be functioning the same and there don't seem to be any large offsets present.
