Bizzare op amp buffer behavior - too much gain

You need only single supply op amps, because your input and output is well less than the 24V.
I nearly always start with a CA3140. :)
ChristofferB:
Roger, makes sense, i'll look into it. Thanks!
Zero999:
The LM358 will probably do but is a buffer needed? The impedance of the AD8226 reference is 100k with a bias current of 7μA and your potentiometer has a maximum impedance of 10k.
ChristofferB:
The data sheet is very adamant about buffering. I just tried to belt-and-braces it. I think I have some 358s somewhere.. right now my taped-on AA battery works a treat as reference!
SiliconWizard:
Do you really need to be able to trim the reference? If not, a fixed reference could be just made out of a small LDO instead.
Note that you could still trim it using an adjustable LDO. It's another way of doing it.
