Many single-supply operational amplifiers are capable of rail-to-rail input operation, if they have the proper input circuitry to support this function. This article is an expansion of the blog post ...

Before jumping into a discussion of amplifiers and signal-conditioning circuitry, it is worthwhile to quickly review strain gauges. By definition, “strain” is an alteration due to an external force. A ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced the launch of three new isolation amplifiers, the VIA0050DD, VIA0250DD, and VIA2000SD, designed for industrial, automotive, and medical applications where ...

We believe that changes will force amplifier manufacturers to make a greater variety of products having characteristics tailored to the specific application. We've already seen that as voltages drop, ...

LOWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), today introduced the MAAL-011141-DIE. Next generation test and measurement systems require higher performance wideband ...

Many industrial and medical applications use instrumentation amplifiers (INA) to condition small signals in the presence of large common-mode voltages and DC potentials. The three op amp INA ...

General-purpose amplifiers (GPAs) can be thought of as the "RF glue" in wireless systems. Although they're simple in design, these amplifiers must boost RF signals to acceptable levels. They also must ...

One of my first jobs as a freshly minted graduate engineer involved the maintenance of a set of analogue chart recorders. They were museum pieces by the early 1990s: a motorized roll of graph paper ...

Phase sensitive or lock-in amplifiers can extract low level signals in the presence of relatively high noise and, recently, there has been growing interest in their use in portable or embedded ...
