I have a very simple OpAmp circuit using an LM324. I used that because it is apparently the equiv of the NTE987 that I actually got from Microcenter. I was just playing around with the old school Forest Mimms Enegeers Mini Notebook series (OP Amp IC Circuits). I was trying to do circuit 1 (yes, thats right, I am having issues with the first circuit. :\ ).
Setup
I am trying to simulate the circuit using ngspice
through KiCad. The schematic that I generated is the following:
I used the following pspice
model from http://www.ti.com/product/LM324/toolssoftware

I also ensured that use the alternative node sequence of "3 2 4 11 1". At least I think that is how this is supposed to work (you just align the PIN numbers with the sub-circuit parameter order?).
Finally, I enabled pspice
compatibility mode by placing the following in my .spiceiinit
file:
* user provided init file
set ngbehavior=ps
The simulation parameters were:
.tran 1u 1m
Problem (Output)
My Vout
is showing an output with a bias of 3.768V. I expected the output to be 5*0.5 = 2.5V because the ratio of the feedback resistor and the input resistor was 5 and the Vin
was set to oscillate around 0.5V. Apparently, the Vout
does not depend at all on Vin
and is just this value all the time. Here is an image of the Vout
.
Humm, it will not let me upload the image? Very strange. Anyway, it is oscillating around the stated 3.768.
The spice execution model output is the following:

Can somebody help me understand why I am not seeing what I expected to see (an oscillation around 2.5V for Vout
)?
EDIT:
I have taken the suggestions that have been provided and swapped the op-amp inputs. The schematic is now:
However, when I run the simulation, the graphical output of Vout
is:
This is still not he magnitude of 2.5V which is what I was expecting. The simulation output is the following:

Any further suggestions, remember, I am very new to this, so I could be missing something very basic. Thanks for the help.
