Jan 28, 2020 at 9:48 comment added user173271 If you're having trouble finding a suitable op amp then, as an alternative solution, you could add a +5V supply to the op amp (non-inverting input still connected to ground). Then you could use a common op amp such as the LM358 which has a possible common mode input range to within 1.5V of the positive supply. Also the LM358's output will swing between the negative supply and to within 1.5V of the positive supply.

Jan 27, 2020 at 14:19 comment added v3xX Yes. I tried to scale the problem from 30V->3V since I can not find compatible devices in the MINDI library
