Adjusting signal voltage range for ADC [closed]

Can anyone please help me design a system using an LM324 op-amp to amplify a small voltage signal (from -20 mV to 31.1 mV) to a larger voltage range (0 to 5 V) so that it can be read by an Arduino's ...

How do I convert an input of -1 V ... +1 V to an output of 0 V ... +3.5 V using an MCP6022? [closed]

In the simulator I get the expected result: input: 1 V output: 2.10 V But when I use hardware I don't get the correct output voltage. Can anyone give me answer with best example?

Interfacing LTC2492/6/8 via SPI: is voltage shift needed?

I'm a bit confused with datasheet for LTC2498. It says on page 27, section "Digital Signal Levels": The LTC2498’s digital interface is easy to use. Its digital inputs (SDI, fO, CS, and SCK ...

Floating/open input on summing amp

I was tasked with taking a signal that could be of ±2.5 and converting it to 0-5v so it could be read by an ADC. I managed that with a non-inverting summing amp like so: It worked pretty well but I ...

Level shifter using LM324 Op Amp for ADC reading

I'm want to digitize an +/- 2.5 V signal using an ADS1256. Since the IC can't take negative voltages I designed a level shifter with a LM324 to translate the +/-2.5 V signal to 0 - 5 V but I was only ...

Overcurrent protection relay: how do I simulate it with a Raspberry Pi?

I'm using an RPi and an MCP3208 to simulate an overcurrent relay. I managed to level-shift the AC signal and now I get the voltage reading at 0-3.3 V. As this is an overCURRENT relay, I was stuck for ...

Circuit to adjust -30V to +30V input to 0 to 3.3V for ADC? [duplicate]

Currently working on an oscilloscope design that would require each channel to be able to take in between 30VPP, -30V to +30V, which will go to an ADC which has a maximum input of 3.3V. What types of ...

Why do I get constant DC 2.5V when level shifting +/- 5V to 0-3.3V (LM741 op amp)?

I'm using RPi 3b+ with ADC (MCP3208) to monitor AC signal (+/- 5V). Since the ADC can't read negative signals, I tried to level shift it using an op amp (LM741). I tried to make this connection (the ...

Using a dual bidirectional I2C bus voltage-level translator

I have a module that uses an ADC powered with 3.3 V (MCP3422). I would like to communicate with it over I2C using an Arduino Mega. The problem is that the Arduino's I2C is operating at 5 V and the I2C ...

SPI readings always high (1) when connected via bi-directional level shifter [closed]

I am trying to read two gas sensors (MQ4 for methane and MQ7 for carbon monoxide) with my NodeMCU ESP8266. Both sensors require 5v (for the heaters) and have 4 pins (GND, VCC, DO, AO). Digital outputs ...

Shrink ADC signal from 5V to 1V?

I have an ADC signal, how do I shrink it to 1V from a 5V sensor like Hall IC for example. Of course, a resistor divider is one method, but will it work reliably as the output is expected between 0 to ...
