Figure 8-4 shows a dc-coupled non inverting amplifier that level-shifts the input up to accommodate the desired output voltage range. Given the desired signal gain (G), and the amount VOUT needs to be shifted up (ΔVOUT) when VIN is at the center of the range, the following equations give the resistor values that produce the desired performance. Assume that R4 is between 200Ω and 1.5kΩ.
NG = G + VOUT / VS
R1 = R4 / G
R2 = R4 / (NG – G)
R3 = R4 / (NG – 1)
where:
NG = 1 + R4 / R3
VOUT = (G)VIN + (NG – G)VS
Make sure that VIN and VOUT stay within the specified input and output voltage ranges.
Figure 8-4 DC Level-ShiftingThe circuit on the front page is a good example of this type of application. The circuit is designed to take VIN between 0V and 0.5V and produce VOUT between 1V and 2V when using a 3V supply. This configuration means G = 2.00, and ΔVOUT = 1.50V – G × 0.25V = 1.00V. Plugging these values into the previous equations (with R4 = 750Ω) gives: NG = 2.33, R1 = 375Ω, R2 = 2.25kΩ, and R3 = 563Ω. The resistors changed to the nearest standard values for the front-page circuit.
