On-chip circuits are usually meant to drive microamps, not milliamps. Driving an off-chip load does require some beefy components, but with the right amp design, you can restrict the beefy components to just the output driver, and most of the rest of the amplifier will be reasonbly small. A voltage follower is generally easier to get working than an inverting amplifier (all the drive current goes to the load), so it's probably a good idea to look closely at what's causing that configuration to fail. Finally, a current bias is much better than a voltage bias, and if it's really taking a voltage bias, then you shouldn't need a milliamp current path through your voltage divider to set it.", "author": { "id": "1365118310701600900", "name": "rtimothyedwards_19428", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "Tim Edwards", "color": null, "isBot": false, "roles": [], "avatarUrl": "2025-11_media/6bcc8e61db497b620550682309ace5d5-D89B4.png" }, "attachments": [], "embeds": [], "stickers": [], "reactions": [], "mentions": [], "inlineEmojis": [] }, { "id": "1437503315004096532", "type": "Default", "timestamp": "2025-11-10T18:04:57.817+00:00", "timestampEdited": "2025-11-10T18:05:16.873+00:00", "callEndedTimestamp": null, "isPinned": false, "content": "@Tholin : Feel free to post the amplifier schematic, or a link to the project.", "author": { "id": "1365118310701600900", "name": "rtimothyedwards_19428", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "Tim Edwards", "color": null, "isBot": false, "roles": [], "avatarUrl": "2025-11_media/6bcc8e61db497b620550682309ace5d5-D89B4.png" }, "attachments": [], "embeds": [], "stickers": [], "reactions": [], "mentions": [ { "id": "220639106915368960", "name": "tholin", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "Tholin", "color": null, "isBot": false, "roles": [], "avatarUrl": "2025-11_media/edae5aadf146133e0448bfb1f0fa91c4-62B19.png" } ], "inlineEmojis": [] }, { "id": "1437506244767121539", "type": "Default", "timestamp": "2025-11-10T18:16:36.327+00:00", "timestampEdited": null, "callEndedTimestamp": null, "isPinned": false, "content": "Note: resistor values are not yet properly tuned, I only care about the ratios so far.", "author": { "id": "220639106915368960", "name": "tholin", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "Tholin", "color": null, "isBot": false, "roles": [], "avatarUrl": "2025-11_media/edae5aadf146133e0448bfb1f0fa91c4-62B19.png" }, "attachments": [], "embeds": [], "stickers": [], "reactions": [], "mentions": [], "inlineEmojis": [] }, { "id": "1437506282075590676", "type": "Default", "timestamp": "2025-11-10T18:16:45.222+00:00", "timestampEdited": null, "callEndedTimestamp": null, "isPinned": false, "content": "But yeah, this is meant to drive a pad.", "author": { "id": "220639106915368960", "name": "tholin", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "Tholin", "color": null, "isBot": false, "roles": [], "avatarUrl": "2025-11_media/edae5aadf146133e0448bfb1f0fa91c4-62B19.png" }, "attachments": [], "embeds": [], "stickers": [], "reactions": [], "mentions": [], "inlineEmojis": [] }, { "id": "1437506601668841473", "type": "Default", "timestamp": "2025-11-10T18:18:01.419+00:00", "timestampEdited": null, "callEndedTimestamp": null, "isPinned": false, "content": "I should share the schematic for the opamp sometime.", "author": { "id": "220639106915368960", "name": "tholin", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "Tholin", "color": null, "isBot": false, "roles": [], "avatarUrl": "2025-11_media/edae5aadf146133e0448bfb1f0fa91c4-62B19.png" }, "attachments": [], "embeds": [], "stickers": [], "reactions": [], "mentions": [], "inlineEmojis": [] }, { "id": "1437525050134757487", "type": "Default", "timestamp": "2025-11-10T19:31:19.876+00:00", "timestampEdited": null, "callEndedTimestamp": null, "isPinned": false, "content": "", "author": { "id": "220639106915368960", "name": "tholin", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "Tholin", "color": null, "isBot": false, "roles": [], "avatarUrl": "2025-11_media/edae5aadf146133e0448bfb1f0fa91c4-62B19.png" }, "attachments": [ { "id": "1437525049828577372", "url": "2025-11_media/image-F925C.png", "fileName": "image.png", "fileSizeBytes": 63054 } ], "embeds": [], "stickers": [], "reactions": [], "mentions": [], "inlineEmojis": [] }, { "id": "1437543744479039609", "type": "Default", "timestamp": "2025-11-10T20:45:36.955+00:00", "timestampEdited": null, "callEndedTimestamp": null, "isPinned": false, "content": "I also wouldn't count too much on that working like in sim.

The real meaning is actually:\n\n- CEN = Chip Enable Negative\n- GWEN = Global Write Enable Negative\n- WEN = Write Enable Negative\n\nAll of the control signals need to be negated.
