Comments are moderated before they will appear on the website, this is a manual process and may take some time. Please be patient.
Author Name is a required field.
Email Address is optional, but without one I won't be able to contact you back. It is never shown or linked on the website. You can always just email me if you'd rather not post a public comment. I generally reply in-line with a comment rather than email you back, unless I want to discuss something in private or off topic. Please check back to see when I reply.
Website URL is optional, if supplied the Author Name will be hyperlinked to this URL.
You may use wikitext in the body, preview may be handy here. Don't worry if you can't figure them out, just give me a hint what you want linked to what and I'll do it during moderation. Wikitext is not BBcode!
Spammers: Please don't bother wasting your time scripting up posts to this form. Everything is moderated, your post will never be seen on the web even transiently, there is no way to even view it by its internal ID, it will never be indexed. I will simply delete your post in the moderation interface. If I'm your target audience you're really on the wrong track; I'll never click on a URL in your garbage. The post content is not emailed to me (and I don't use a Win32 mail client anyway), I view the posts in plain text in the moderation interface so no clever tricks of any kind will make anything you type be interpreted by anything other than me, a human. Just give up and go elsewhere please!

As another option to measure nanoamperes level currents I am using the regular manual range digital multimeters. On DC 200 mV range depending the input impedance, I can measure fsd 200.0 nanoamperes with 1 Megaohm input impedance or fsd 20.00 nanoamperes with 10 Megaohm input impedance meter. To find the leakage current of Si diodes before using them on some sensitive circuits or checking car alternators' excitation bridges for leakage this is pretty useful.

Alan,
Thank you for your answers my question very much! I'm clear now.
Whould you like accept my greetings it come from China where at far away the east?
Thanks again!
Regards.

Yi,
The "rail-splitter" amp is acting as a unity-gain follower, delivering a mid-rail voltage to the shielding box. I could just have easily used two batteries, but there were two op-amps in the package and it consumes only tiny currents keeping the "ground" at mid-rail.
You can actually buy rail-splitter devices which are implemented internally essentially identical to this. They have complementary outputs that sink or source current to keep the output at half the supply voltage. (Up to some limit where they blow up. :)
Regards,
Alan

Why it does'nt got a large current consume that OPA. generate the referenced ground?
