Hi All,
I need a system were I can input a 0V to +5V DC range and get a -2V to +3V DC range out
It needs to be stable/accurate enough to handle voltage steps of 83.33mV. There are 12 steps for every Volt so,
If I input +83.33mV, I get -1916.67mV volts out, if I input +166.66mV volts, I get -1833.34mV volts out and so on.
I have access to +/- 15 Volts, +/-5 Volts and an accurate +10 Volts supply. The application is for 4 voice CV/Gate control of my Teisco SX-400 synthesiser driven by a Roland CMU-800 sequencer.
I am aware of another thread here https://www.edaboard.com/threads/189649/
but I don't understand from the schematic where I inject my signal, or what the circle with the centre offset plus sign means(Vref or source?). There may also be a better part for the job than the MAX4250 suggested currently available or it may not suit my application, and finally, the forum warned me about hijacking old threads and I decide not to take the risk
There are other threads on this too that I am reading now but I still don't know if I can achieve a repeatable accuracy of 83.33mV steps with any of those circuits.
I am trying to learn as much as I can by myself but any suggestions will help speed up my understanding and will be very welcome.
Thanks in advance
Martin
