The output of Op-Amp[LM324] has error as non-inverting Amp

In summary, the LM324 can be made to work with a single power supply by using a split supply, but if you're inputting AC then you need dual supply.

Hi everybody
I'm a newbie and working on LM324 to learn Op-Amp. this is my circuit:

http://img4.uplood.fr/free/qx3o_20150425_172843.jpg
One of the resistors is 217ohm and another 978ohm. then the gain should be 4.50691 as you can see. so far so good. I know this is for ideal Op-Amp. I applied 0.15v to the input and got 0.94v in the output. then the gain is 6.26667. again I applied 0.35v to the input and got 2.03v then gain should be 5.8!?o_O
again I applied 1.86v and got 10.31 then the gain is 5.54301! holy crap! :wideeyed: why isn't the gain stable? because of input offset voltage? How can I stabilize it?

You need a split supply to make this work.

LM324 should be okay with single supply so long as everything stays positive,.
But if you're inputting AC then yes, you need dual supply.

Did you bypass your supply with a small cap near the IC?

What is voltage at junction of 217 - 978 resistors?
Is it the same as your input?
If opamp is making its inputs equal , the problem is not offset.

Possibly it's your layout. When power supply current shares a wire with signal, the drop along the wire adds to signal.
Is there any AC in your output?
How are your input source and 217 tied to common ?

The gain for a non-inverting op-amp is not how you are computing it. The gain in this case is 5.50691. (978/217) + 1. Keep your input voltages farther away from the supply rail with a 324.

Thanks - i missed that !
Big ten-duh on me, good buddy !

Thanks guys
I used 145.6kohm as Rf and 2.14kohm as Rin and got an acceptable output. for example 70.1mv in the input, I got 4.93v in the output.

MultiSim is my best friend when troubleshooting circuits like this. Just a suggestion.
 

Related to The output of Op-Amp[LM324] has error as non-inverting Amp

What is an Op-Amp (LM324)?

An Op-Amp (operational amplifier) is an electronic component that amplifies the input voltage signal and produces an output voltage that is a multiple of the input voltage. The LM324 is a specific type of Op-Amp.

What does it mean for an Op-Amp (LM324) to have an error as a non-inverting amplifier?

An error as a non-inverting amplifier means that there is a deviation between the input and output voltages of the Op-Amp. This can be caused by various factors such as imperfect components or incorrect circuit design.

Why does the output of an Op-Amp (LM324) have an error as a non-inverting amplifier?

The output of an Op-Amp (LM324) can have an error as a non-inverting amplifier due to imperfections in the components used, such as resistors and capacitors, or due to errors in the design of the circuit.

How can the error of an Op-Amp (LM324) as a non-inverting amplifier be minimized?

To minimize the error of an Op-Amp (LM324) as a non-inverting amplifier, high-quality components and precise circuit design should be used. Additionally, feedback mechanisms can be implemented to correct any errors.

Is it possible to completely eliminate the error of an Op-Amp (LM324) as a non-inverting amplifier?

No, it is not possible to completely eliminate the error of an Op-Amp (LM324) as a non-inverting amplifier. However, it can be minimized to a very small value through careful component selection and circuit design.
