SUMMARY

The discussion centers on amplifying a DC signal using the AD524 amplifier. The user, Mostafa, connected the input pin (pin 1) to ground and pin 2 (input+) to 0.5V from a variable resistor. Despite various configurations, including changing the gain settings from G=10 to G=100, the output voltage remained consistently at -4.95V. Mostafa seeks clarification on the correctness of leaving certain pins unconnected and the implications of grounding the reference pin.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of operational amplifier configurations
  • Familiarity with the AD524 amplifier specifications
  • Knowledge of gain settings in amplifiers
  • Basic principles of DC signal amplification
NEXT STEPS

Hi all;

I am trying to amplify a dc signal using the AD524 amplifier .
I connected the input- pin (pin 1) to the ground. pin 2(input+) to 0.5V (The 0.5 came from a varibale resistor).
pin 3 (RG2) was connected to G=10 (pin 13). Ref.(pin 6) was connected to ground. Pin 7 (VS+) 9V.
pin 8 (VS-) to -9V.Pin 10 (sense) was connected to pin 9 (o/p).
Pins 4,5,11,12,14,15,16 were not connected. The output is always -4.5V.
I disconnected the RG2 from the G=10 and connected it to G=100 the o/p remained -4.95V.
I disconnected RG2 but the o/p is still -4.95V. I varied the input Voltage the o/p still th same.

I don't know were is the problem. Is it correct to keep pins 4,5,14,15,16 unconnected?
IS it correct to connect the ref pin to the ground? What do you think is the problem?

I would be very grateful if anyone can help me with it.

Regards Mostafa
