DAC Interface Circuit<\/p>\n

This “DAC Interface” \u00a0circuit is a precision buffer amplifier for a DAC output. It is scaled to provide a 10V output @ 10mA with a +1V input voltage. This type of current source can be very useful in industrial interface applications.<\/p>\n

A R-R output op amp with an input common-mode range that includes its negative supply rail, such as an OPA251, is required for single- supply operation.<\/p>\n

An external NPN transistor\u00a0 is used to off- load the circuit power dissipation from the precision op amp U1. Re- scaling this circuit with other transistors can result\u00a0in output current capability of a many amps. (Circuit is created by Neil P. Albaugh\u00a0 TI – Tucson)<\/p>\n
