Hi everyone,

i have searched the forum and found several threads that discuss the opposite, ie +/- 5 to 0-5v etc but haven't found something for my particular problem.

I am just after some direction in solving a design for a video interface to an ADC.

The video pulse is 0 to -3v and I need to convert the pulse to +5v to -5v to give full resolution at the ADC.

I have considered having a two stage op amp design with a dc offset on a Voltage Follower at 1st stage and then a Non Inverting Second Stage with a little gain to give full voltage swing. However the amount of DC Offset required is quite high, so I thought I would ask for some ideas and feedback here.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
 

I would have a level shifter [to shift to +-1.5V] then a non inverting gain of about 3.3

Or use the opAmp with 4 precision resistors and a -1.5V reference voltage:

The opAmp's supply voltages have to be larger than its max. output voltages, e.g. ±8 or ±10V .
