🧩 Applications & Usage
High-speed integrators & active filters
Precision DACs, sample-and-hold, instrumentation
Low‑noise amplifiers, buffer stages, comparators
🔌 Basic Arduino Example: Non-Inverting Instream Amplifier
Wiring (±12 V rails required):
V<sub>CC+</sub> → +12 V
V<sub>CC–</sub> → –12 V
IN+ → Analog signal source
IN– → via feedback resistor network to output
Output → Arduino analog input (through voltage divider)
Example Code Snippet:
CopyEditfloat Vin = A0; void setup(){ Serial.begin(9600); } void loop(){ int raw = analogRead(Vin); float voltage = raw * (5.0/1023.0); // from divider Serial.println(voltage); delay(200); }
Ideal for amplifying analog sensors like strain gauges, photodiodes, thermocouples.
