"Jon Elson">> >> http://i555.photobucket.com/albums/jj477/panfilero/Capture-1.jpg > > This circuit has a 2:1 DC gain ...** Nope - the schem as shown has a DC gain of zero. Without C1 ( and R2 grounded) it has a DC gain of 3, so the 2.5 volt fixed input drives to op-amp to the 5V rail. The "pan fried sandwich" is a colossal idiot. And you are no better. .... Phil
