operational amplifier - Reference voltage changes when connected to inverting input of op amp comparator


The capacitor C2 keeps the value of a slow varying signal for some time. The capacitor discharges through the two resistors R3 and R4 with a time constant of \$\tau = RC = 10\mu F \times 1M\Omega = 10s\$. The voltage across resistor R4 should be half of the voltage across the capacitor. This works as expected when the op amp (NE5534N) isn't connected to the circuit.


When V_R4 is used as reference to the inverting input of the op amp the voltage changes to about 80% of the voltage across the capacitor C2. I have not been able to find a solution to this. Am I missing something here?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
