Author Inverting op-amp with too much gain ? More options

Trying to build a multi-stage 120kHz bandpass filter... decided to
use multi-feedback topology...


Seems that it amplifies the desired signal alright, but ends up full-
swing output (after just one stage) and since it's inverted, the
full-
swing output feedback ends up cancelling out the input and it
collapses back on itself.


I'm no op-amp expert but am ernestly trying to learn.... and I'm
stumped on how to procceed...


thanks!

Write in English or at least say what language you are using.

How do I post a schematic?

Anyway, I used some filter design tool the first time around (can't
remember which), but I think I may have 'tweaked' it too much and
broke it... Going back to FilterPro helped a lot and I'm now back-on-
track.

thanks!

"Draw" it here in ascii or put it on your website with
a link to it posted here, or post it on abse
(abse = alt.binaries.schematics.electronic)
