Opamp test circuits

Post by tubeswell »

I'm thinking of knocking together some DIY testers for dual and quad opamp chips. Doesn't need to be fancy - the cheaper and simpler the better - for testing the occasional item (once in a blue moon).

Anyone here got any links/stories to share about experience with op-amp test circuits?

TIA

You gonna set the rig up for duel rail and single rail supply?

That's fancy talk LoL. :-)

Sure. I saw a basic tester using a rail splitter and a 9V battery. Just can't find the link right now.

I'm thinking there surely must be a bit of experience out there with different types of test beds.

Just Google "op amp tester" and you'll find several. Maybe this is the one you're thinking of: https://tangentsoft.net/elec/opamp-tester.html
