Circuit to adjust -30V to +30V input to 0 to 3.3V for ADC? [duplicate]

Currently working on an oscilloscope design that would require each channel to be able to take in between 30VPP, -30V to +30V, which will go to an ADC which has a maximum input of 3.3V.

What types of designs or specific circuits could I implement to offset the voltage where 0 is -30V and 3.3V is +30V ?

ALSO - Yes, I will also be implementing a voltage divider, but the ADC cannot take in negative voltage.

Inverting converter, -30 -> +30 provide 3.3V -> 0V

• Could you please explain the circuit or how you got those resistor values? – Beshoy Hanna Jan 28 '20 at 8:37
• I don't get quite those values. – jonk Jan 28 '20 at 8:42
• I did the voltage divider formula twice in my head. @jonk, do you get different results? – Jasen Jan 28 '20 at 8:45
• Yeah. The center node voltage is $\frac{V_\text{IN}\cdot R_2\cdot R_3+3.3\:\text{V}\cdot R_1\cdot R_3+0.0\:\text{V}\cdot R_1\cdot R_2}{R_2\cdot R_3+R_1\cdot R_3+R_1\cdot R_2}$. You should be able to compute the two values where $V_\text{IN}=\pm30\:\text{V}$. They won't be what you wrote. – jonk Jan 28 '20 at 8:50
• @Jasen See this. With $R_3=10\:\text{k}\Omega$ I get $R_2=8.9\:\text{k}\Omega$ and $R_1=80.9091\:\text{k}\Omega$. Something like that, anyway. – jonk Jan 28 '20 at 9:12

Texas Instruments has published pdf: "Op Amps For Everyone":

https://web.mit.edu/6.101/www/reference/op_amps_everyone.pdf

I used this pdf when I needed to move the -4 V - +8.8 V signal to 0 V - 2 V. On page 60 is chapter 4.3, which describes step by step how to choose components for the circuit.

The advantage of this circuit is that the function is linear.

The downside is that you must have the voltage to power the amplifier.
