Setting Up a High-Referenced Op-Amp with Positive Gain <1

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around setting up an op-amp circuit with a positive gain of less than one, referenced to a high voltage instead of ground. The user seeks to achieve specific output voltages based on given input voltages, specifically wanting an output of 3.3V for an input of 3.3V and around 1.4V for an input of 0V. The user realizes that an op-amp may not be necessary for this application, suggesting that a resistor divider could be a simpler solution. However, they are still interested in understanding the op-amp configuration that would meet their requirements. The conversation highlights the challenges and considerations in using op-amps for non-standard configurations.

I am trying to setup a circuit with an op-amp that is referenced to high rather than ground and has a positive gain less than one. So for instance, my circuite has power rails at ground and 3.3v. I want an input of 3.3v to give an output of 3.3v and i want an input of 0 to give an output of around 1.4v. I can do the resistor calculations. I'm just not sure what that configuration would look like.

I fumbled around with this for a while until I realized why I was having trouble with it which is because I have never done a circuit like this because an op-amp isn't necessary to do it. However, that is not to say you can't do it with the op-amp. Once I realized why it isn't necessary to use an op-amp I easily figured out how to do it with one. So, let me ask you, is there some requirement to do it a certain way?

Isn't it better to use a resistor divider ?
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
