Though sometimes taken for granted, designers shouldn’t overlook the intricacies of voltage- and current-feedback op amps—integral players in the analog and mixed-signal worlds. Op amps amplify tiny ...

The operational amplifier is arguably the most useful single device in analog electronic circuitry. When you apply them in the circuits, you must know their basics and functions. As for the function ...

Extend the LM358 op-amp family’s output voltage range by cascading the op-amp with a few simple, inexpensive components.

The term instrumentation amplifier (INA) often is misused, referring to the application rather than the architecture of the device. Historically, any amplifier that was considered precision (i.e., ...

As one of the basic building blocks used in an array of consumer, industrial, scientific and other applications, the operation amplifier (op amp) is amongst the most widely used electronic devices.

When something is described as “Low Noise”, it is by the nature of the language a relative phrase. The higest quality magnetic tape is low noise compared to its cheaper sibling for example, but still ...

It is a classic problem when designing with op amps: you need the output to go to zero, but — for most op amps — you can’t quite get down to the supply rail. If your power options are a positive ...

Thanks to a new transimpedance/variable gain amplifier,electronics manufacturers are now able to build 100 Gigabit-per-sec (gps)optical networks for use in the nation's Internet backbone. Designedand ...
