An op amp, or operational amplifier is, to quote Tamara Schmitz of Intersil, “the main building block of analog systems.” The list of these systems is long, including filters, rectifiers, detectors, ...

LTspice simulation of the K2-W Vacuum Tube Op Amp’s design reveals the mad science that created a commercial revolution in 1950s and 1960s analog computing. The K2-W's first-stage differencing ...

How do you get the input of an op-amp to work below the negative-most supply rail?, I asked. Now I know – thanks to the patience of ADI field application engineer Andreas Koch. It was not just any ...

A comparator is a great circuit because it provides a near ideal transition between the analog and digital domains. The comparator looks at two linear input signals and gives a digital output that’s ...

ROHM has developed a linear op amp – LMR1901YG-M – featuring, it claims, the lowest current consumption in the industry. This makes it suitable for amplifying sensor signals used to detect and measure ...

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.

The op amp enables designers to solve a multitude of problems, and its uses are limited only by the imagination Operational amplifiers (op amps) are a staple in modern electronics. Found in everything ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc. and Texas Instruments (TI) announce a new e-book dedicated to the versatility and design power of operational amplifiers (op amps). In the e-book, titled Amplifier Solutions ...

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 ...
