Supply Definition and 506 Threads

This is a very silly question. I can't believe I have forgotten. I have a 30v bench power supply and I am looking to test an op-amp running at +/- 15v. I have a supply which has a negative output/ positive output and inbetween a green common/earth output. How do I wire them to produce the +/-...

Hi I'm somewhat new at this practical electronics stuff. So could use some help. I'm trying to debug a circuit made by a colleague who has moved on. It's a derivative of a non-inverting amplifier designed to amplify a signal from a generator. It works, to an extent, however the output...

What is the output of the op amp when either Vcc or Vee is not connected. I simulated this and got Vsat. +Vsat when Vee was missing and -Vsat when Vcc was missing. But I don't know why the output saturates to +Vsat, even in a inverting configuration. Shouldn't it go to ground, since the...

In the datasheet it says the voltage max is +/-18V. Does this mean that the maximum on Vs+ is 18V, or that the maximum voltage between Vs+ and Vs- can be 18V, or 36V? I want to power it with Vs+ at 36V and Vs- at 0 volts.The datasheet is here: http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/opa627.pdf

I've picked up a 13.56 MHz RF generator from eBay which I plan to use for an ICP plasma project (this is what it was designed for). I need to construct an RF coil and parallel capacitor with a resonant frequency of 13.56 MHz but I also need to construct an AMU as, as I understand it, as soon...

If I have an unlimited air supply with 800 PSI and fed through a 1' pipe how do I calculate the CFM

Hi, I'm trying to understand how to correct when you put Vcc as 10V your max output is like 9.18V. Is there a factor on the data sheet or what? I'm trying to build a bi-state multivibrator to generate a 10V peak value but it's being saturated. thanks.
