#92188 - optocouplers
Responding to: ???'s previous message
hi,

I went briefly through this pdf and I had implemented a similar scheme with a pic microcontroller with 10bit ADC.I had buffered the resistor ladder network with a op-amp follower.


Thanks, John. This is exactly the schematic I have used for natural buttons (with close resistence about 0 Ohm). But the problem is that here all buttons are isolated with optocouples which resistances (drop-out voltage of output photo-transistor) are not zero. This value inserts additional voltage between ground and R2R network and due it is not strong defined the results are very bad, trust me :(

Regards,
Oleg
