Modern op amps have much higher operating bandwidths than their predecessors. These new devices are excellent building blocks that can greatly simplify the design and construction of high-bandwidth ...

A while back, [Chris Lu] was studying how analog circuits, specifically op-amps can be used to perform mathematical operations and wondered if they could be persuaded to solve differential equations, ...

It’s rare in 2023 for an instrument to be entirely analog, instead it’s more normal for a front-end to feed the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a microcontroller. Typically the front-end will do ...

A similar version of this article appeared in the May 5, 2010 issue of Electronic Design magazine. As portable battery-operated devices continue to shrink in size while adding functionality, their PCB ...

While choosing an op-amp buffer for a new high-resolution single-supply DAC, a source of negative supply was considered because the buffer op-amp had to provide true zero voltage on its output. Wow ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The precision op amp plays a key role in analog and mixed-signal circuits. Applications extend from measuring large currents by amplifying the voltage ...
