One of the most common requests I get from engineers is for a comparison of voltage-feedback op amps and current-feedback op amps. It is impossible to determine which one better suits a given ...

This IFD describes a single op-amp voltage indicator that lights LEDs to indicate the input voltage’s relationship to two thresholds. Green indicates input above the top threshold, red the input below ...

Tucson, Ariz. – Apex Microtechnology touts its PA38 and PA39 high-voltage MOSFET power op-amp boards- built with SMT components on a thermally conductive but electrically isolated substrate-as a ...

The operational amplifier, or op amp, is one of the most basic building blocks used in analog circuits. Ever since single-chip op amps were introduced in the 1960s, thousands of different types have ...

As analog engineers, it’s tempting to fantasize about one day coming close to designing the ideal operational amplifier we encountered in college: infinite bandwidth, zero output resistance, and so on ...

You can take an op amp with rare input characteristics and elevate it to achieve higher voltage range, better gain accuracy, higher slew rate, and less distortion than the original op amp. I was ...

My hands-on introduction to operational amplifiers was in 1969 while in the army as a junior scientist in the Atmospheric Science Laboratory at the White Sands Proving Grounds. We had taken a ...

Circuit simulations are great because you can experiment with circuits and make changes with almost no effort. In Circuit VR, we look at circuits using a simulator to do experiments without having to ...

Analog Devices has introduced what it claims to be the industry's first precision operational amplifier with more than ±30V of integrated input over voltage protection. The ADA4096-2 is a dual, ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced two new families of low power operational amplifiers which it claims provide enhanced accuracy and reduced package size. According to ST, its TSV85x and LMV82x ...
