Give a dual voltage with two 9 volt batteries. It runs well with a voltage supply of 4.5V to 18V Most op-amp circuits use a dual polarity power supply. So, you should draw it with a 741 op-amp symbol. It is not fun to draw a real 741 on DIP-8 form.

Although there are only eight legs, each leg is important. It is so easy if you know about its legs or 741 pinouts. They have basic general features as follows. To increase the signal to a higher level to the output. We can enter either an AC or DC signal to the input. The 741 op-amp is one type of solid state. (should not exceed the power supply voltage) And the price of the 741 is as well as a single transistor. They are in a plastic package DIP-8 of Fairchild, Since the year 1965.Īnd the op-amp became number 741 in the second year, Fri 1968.Īre you a beginner? Learn Basic Electronics The op-amp can be on tiny silicon sheets. The input circuit air-wired and parts cleaned with IPA (it took several hours to stabilize afterwards - mainly the polystyrene cap I think).From advances of an integrated circuit. Construction is my favorite double sided Manhattan style, using single sided copperclad. I've included rudimentary output protection, the two 1k resistors are to ensure stability against capacitive loads (oscillation shows up as a few mV of offset). The LMC662 Vos also drifts over the supply voltage range by a few 10s of uV, so in practice it's fine for zeroing at the 100fA level (see pic). I've successfully nulled it to 1uV on my bench DVM but in practice it's ridiculously sensitive to external influences at that (fA) level. I've also included a null adjustment pot for the op-amp offset voltage (range approx 1.35mV). I've included a protection resistor within the feedback loop which should be good to +/-500V on the input, that's with 0.5mA through the LMC662 protection diodes (spec limit 5mA) so in practice is limited by the breakdown voltage of the resistor (I used a 1M large bodied carbon film).

EDIT: Ignore the 60uV, that was due to me not having nulled the Vos properly the other day. Input voltage offset is less than 60uV using a randomly chosen LMC662. Tested with my only 10G ohm resistor (also 2%) it reads 1.022nA at 10V, close enough. Accuracy seems to be fine - within the limits of my test capability anyway. Supply current is just under 1mA, even adding the most frugal of power LEDs would double this, so I haven't bothered. Maximum current is around +/-4.5nA, that will drop to +/-2.5nA at battery end of life voltage, assuming that I risk leaving it in there that long. It uses the LMC662 as previously discussed.It seems to work pretty well and readings seem to be stable and repeatable. I've finally got around to putting my own Picoammeter together.
