OP AMP Behavoir
OP AMP Behavoir
(OP)
What would cause two seperate op-amps to behave different?
Problem: I have an instrumentation amplifier configured in the following manner. The first stage amplifies a differential input by G=25. eg, 0.020V * 25 = 0.5V
The next stage takes the difference of the two signals and amplifies by G = 10 eg, 0.5 * 10 = 5.0. A voltage divider is then used on this output to trim the output. The output is then amplified by G=2 to get a 10V final output. Here's the problem. When I use op-amp LT1013CN8 the circuit works fine, when I replace with OPA2277P the circuit doesn't operate as designed. The voltage is pushed close to the negative rail. The OPA2277 are new, so I think they are in working order. What is it that I am ignoring.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

different between the two parts.
The OPA2277 specifies (V+)-2V to (V-)+2V
The LT1013 specifies (V+)-1.5V to (V-)
If something in your circuit puts a voltage outside the range on the inputs,
no telling what exactly will happen.
If you run split supplies and the input is close to ground, either one should work
fine.
If you run single supply, and the input is close to ground, then the 1013 will
work where the 2277 will not.
