• Choose a DAC with low gain error, low offset error, low drift, and low INL.
• Choose an OPAMP with low offset voltage and low offset voltage drift.
• Use precision 0.1% or better tolerance resistors with low temperature drift.
• RTFM (in this case RTFAN) from Texas Instruments. SLAA869.
✈ Practical Example
Reference Voltage = 3.3 V, Output Voltage = approx. ± 6 V
With some twiggling, we figured out the following Resistor combination :
Output Voltage = ± 6.6 V, R1 = 18 kΩ, R2 = 36 kΩ, R3 = 36 kΩ.
The PCB used here ... ... works like a charm :-)
The Gain calculated is 13.2 Vpp / 3.3 Vpp = 4. We measured 4.011. All resistors 1%. Used Operational
Amplifier was an OPA141. Supply was ±15 V.
