Amplifier requires no dc bias

john guy @ edn.com writes: Intrinsically capacitive transducers and other high-impedance signal sources usually require ac coupling and a buffer amplifier to condition the signal for further processing. Buffers take many forms, but most of them compromise signal quality through the use of external resistors that provide a dc path for the input bias current.

Recent improvements in op-amp technology allow ac-coupled inputs without the need for bias resistors.

The pin numbers shown in the opamp are backwards. Pin 2 is supposed to be (-) and pin 3 is supposed to be (+) like on every other dual opamp.
