Hello there,
Designing a buffer and gain circuit for RTD and currently i have struck a wall.
Requirement
-give a gain of 5 to a signal coming from an RTD, to be given to an ADC
Implementation
-have used Microchip MCP6004, a quad amp IC. used one amp as a voltage follower and the other in a non inverting amplifier setup to give gain of 5, schematic attached for better understanding
problem
-the voltage follower side is working perfectly, but the gain stage is also acting like a perfect voltage follower.
things checked
-pcb is designed fine, the resister values shown between negative input and output (20.5k) and output to ground (5.1k) is present and connected properly, ground connections are fine.
-have checked 3 boards and all are the same
any help will be highly appreciated, as this basic issue has ruined my nights
