How it this analog front end circuit working?

This circuit has been taken from a "DIY Oscilloscope" project. This circuit is changing the input wave swing to 0V to 3.3V. The circled voltage source is Vsys/2, which is the voltage at which the zero level of the input wave will be shifted to. Vsys is 3.3V here. 

The output is as follows:

I wanted to know how is this working and can I use it for my project?

The original circuit with Raspberry PI PICO is as follows.

Thank you.

    U1 is set up as inverting opamp with gain of -R2/R1 = -0.1 and biased to the voltage on the positiv input 1.65 V (= 3.3V/2) because of the AC coupling cap C1. So the input sin wave with 14.1 V peak to…

    Sudeep AJ Ok, here we go. I hate to do this but, did you figure out what bandwidth you need? I noticed that you limit your voltage to 3.3v which by the way is a FLOATER in TTL. I personally think you are…

    With these magnitude of resistors in the feedback path you may find you need a tiny compensation capacitor for stability

    On a breadboard you could just twist 2 insulated wire together to make your own, if need be.

    Vsys on the PICO is VUSB minus the voltage drop of a Schottky diode, which leaves an LM358 enough headroom to output 3.3V.

    You're Welcome. I have tried the pico with pulseview

    I will have to try the Scoppy project you linked to in the future, thanks for sharing!

     scottiebabe Yeah just twist 2 wires together.. 10 out of 10!! btw a nice wire to do this with is CAT5 or CAT6 as it is already twisted.Sunglasses And I don't really do analog. But I used to build audio gear. feedback and noise.

    Aww thanks, but I am a good 40 dBc below legends like https://www.teledynelecroy.com/walter-lecroy/ ( I just saw this :( )
