Hi,
Please go the following link and then figure 16 page # 13.
I can not find a way to post the schematic on the web so i am explaining that I what did I do with the circuit. The INA133 is getting the input from a voltage ouput DAC ( span is +/- 2.5 volts) . DAC is connected to pin# 3 of the INA133 and pin#2 in grounded. A capacitor of
47uf and is connected between the non-inverting pin of the OPA131 and a relay1 ( which connects the output of the capacitor to two different loads ). The capacitor provides AC coupling. The relay1 connects the current source to one laod at one time. The power supply of the circuit is +/- 16 volts. Inorder to discharge the capacitor, I connected a relay2 in series with a resistor at the input of the capacitor or at the node where the OPA131 and the capacitor connects together. So, when the capacitor gets charged I just turn on the relay2 and connect the node to zero volts.Problems:
- My application needs to switch between the loads, So when I turn on the circuit, the circuit is connected to the load A, I get AC signal across my load with no DC offset. But when I switch to load B then I get DC offset with AC signal across the second load. I do not know why, may be the current source does not like to be floating and it hits the maximum power supplies during the switching time from one load to another load? Is it true or is there some other explanation.
- Am I discharging the capacitor in a rigth way. I a resistor necessary to disharge it or I can just short it with the ground. The capacitor charges upto 14 volts.
Thanks John
