Figure 63. Non-Inverting Single Supply with Reference
Figure 64 shows a similar non-inverting single supply scenario with the reference generator replaced by the
Thevenin equivalent using resistors and the positive supply. R
G
’ and R
G
” form a resistor divider from the 5 V
supply and are used to bias the negative side with their parallel sum equal to the equivalent R
G
to set the gain.
To cancel the voltage offset that would otherwise be caused by the input bias currents, R
1
in is chosen to be
equal to R
F

’ in parallel with R

F
= 1 kΩ, selecting R
G
’ = R
G
” = 2 kΩ gives equivalent parallel sum of 1 kΩ, sets the gain to 2, and references the
input to mid supply (2.5 V). R
1
is then set to 499 Ω for bias current cancellation. This can be lower cost, but note
the extra current draw required in the resistor divider.
Figure 64. Non-Inverting Single Supply with Resistors
Figure 65 shows a typical inverting amplifier situation. With 5V single supply, a mid supply reference generator is
needed to bias the positive side via R
1
. To cancel the voltage offset that would otherwise be caused by the input
bias currents, R
1
is chosen to be equal to R
F
in parallel with R
G
. For example if gain of -2 is required and R
F
= 1
kΩ, select R
G
= 499 Ω to set the gain and R
1
= 332 Ω for bias current cancellation. The value for C is dependent
on the reference, but at least 0.1 µF is recommended to limit noise into the op amp.
