Microchip 602 or 6002 cannot cope with +24V supply voltage. TI's OPA look promising though, i will try to order one for testing > Have you tried loading the output the output of LM358 with a resistor to = ground? (e.g. ~10k). =A0They will typically get within ~5mv of ground which= will be significantly exceeded by potential input offset voltage issues in= this particular case. > Mike I am using it as a differential amplifier and the output is already tied to negative input using a 10k resistor. I don't think it will work --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
