Key Document
Description
This Verified Design is for conditioning a low-cost, unipolar, generic DAC into an accurate bipolar signal source using an op amp and 3 resistors. The circuit is designed with reactive load stability in mind and is compensated to drive nearly any conventional capacitive load associated with long cable lengths.
