    Hey, guys

    The circuit below is a standard buffer amplifier. Vin can be any voltage between 1-10v but i would also like it to increase Vin by an additional 0.5v when an input between 1-10v is applied so that, for example; if a signal Vin is 1v, the signal that will actually be inputted is 1.5v all the way to a signal Vin of 10v which will be 10 + 0.5v = 10.5v.

    thanks!

    Look at a difference amplifier (e.g. about half way down this page).
    Vout=(V2-V1)*Rf/Ri
    Set Rf=Ri for a gain of 1.
    Set V2=Vin, V1=-0.5V, therefore V2-V1= Vin+0.5V

    Is there a simple way to keep Vin @ 0v if Vin<1v?

    thanks~

    Do you mean keep Vout=0V for Vin <1V?
