Can You Help Me Achieve a 5x DC Gain for Opamp Output Voltage?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on achieving a 5x DC gain for an op-amp output voltage to reach +/- 150V without resorting to expensive high-voltage op-amps. Users suggest utilizing opto-isolators and voltage dividers to control high voltage at low power levels, emphasizing the need for a proper design architecture. Key components mentioned include the PA340 op-amp for high voltage applications and the use of LTSpice for circuit simulation. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding circuit elements and their configurations to achieve the desired voltage gain.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of op-amp configurations and feedback mechanisms
  • Familiarity with high voltage circuit design principles
  • Knowledge of LTSpice for circuit simulation
  • Basic concepts of opto-isolators and their applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "opto-isolator design for high voltage applications"

A time constant of around 1hz would work. Thanks jim you're a hero :) Now onto the next issue.

By DC offset servo I mean an opamp integrator that I use to bias a triode to maintain a DC null at the output of the stage. As in the non inverting input is attached to ground and the inverting input is attached to the output of the stage and I adjust a trimmer so the opamp outputs a proper bias voltage to maintain a DC null at the output of the stage based on its input.

A question well stated is halfway answered.

Bravo - that was very clear !

thanks, and good luck !
