can anyone tell what I did wrong here? my goal is to measure current using an opamp, I need to be able to measure positive and negative current, and I have these LTC2053 OpAmps available, but I'm trying to simulate what I'm thinking about doing in LTspice and I can't get any output at all.... I need to be able to see from 50uA to .1mA, which is a pretty big range (and I need this in positive and negative directions) here's a link to the circuit I made in LTspice, much thanks LTspice: http://s555.photobucket.com/albums/jj477/panfilero/?action=view¤t=LTC2053.png LTC2053 datasheet: http://cds.linear.com/docs/Datasheet/2053syncfc.pdf
op-amp circuit wont work

Looks like it should be working, but a look at the LTspice file will tell us a lot. Or you can ask Larkin and he'll tell you how wonderful he is and he will go on and on for days... and you will know less than you do today :-) ...Jim Thompson [On the Road, in New York] -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

You just had to get that off-topic dig in didn't you? You have become repulsive in my opinion for your inability to control yourself. Shame on you.

Seems to me that you should have 150mV (one way or the other) at the output. Posting the netlist is the best way to get help. Most of us can stick it in LTSpice to look at the schematic.

I had mine wired to ground, thinking that since it's an active low input this would do it.... I've since hooked mine up to my negative power supply and it's working now.
