Barry:
1) Thanks by your second idea, and while you reply to my question of the above post (your second proposal); I was playing a bit more with your first idea that you said that won't work:
Well, the point now is that I achieved the output range of "+0.5V up to +9.5V" thanks to the Zener (at least in simulation); but now I am not sure if my system has a linear transfer, or not. What do you think?
2) Secondly, I have simulated your Second proposal:
But the achieved output range goes from "+0.5V up to +10.5V" (So, it is still not good) But maybe I am doing something wrong? :???:
FvM:
Well, maybe I am using a bad terminology. So, forget the word "clipper" or "clipping", and think that what I need is a linear transfer output voltage which range is "+0.5V up to +9.5V" when I measure a "Resistor" and this resistor can have a value from "0 Ohm" up to "Infinite Ohm".
And although I implemented using 3 OpAmps, and I achieved initially a range of "0V up to +10V"; what I really need is to modify my initial circuit to achieve a linear output voltage range of "+0.5V up to +9.5V".
Is it clear now for you? Let me know, please :roll:
By the way, what do you think about the ideas that I am discussing with Barry?
Thanks a lot to both! ;-)
