The very basics of operational amplifiers. Learn comparator, inverting, and non-inverting op-amp configurations. An operational amplifier, or op amp, is a dc-coupled high-gain electronic voltage ...

Automating a flow into a semi-expert system requires a combination of parametric analysis and some judgment on required design issues and margins. This breaks the selection flow into a set of “must ...

Originally, operational amplifiers (op amps) were not thought of as candidates for RF design, but the advent of newer, faster devices has now made them an attractive option for some applications. The ...

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 ...

Intersil has upgraded its web based non inverting and inverting op amp design tools. iSim v4.1 is designed to select and simulate the optimum Intersil precision or high speed op amp device, resolve ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In designing an input stage for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), engineers choose a particular amplifier, assign a target gain, and note the ...

In the first article about measurement systems we looked at sensors as a way to bring data into a measurement system. I explained that a sensor measures physical quantities which are turned into a ...

Designers are finding that the performance of readily available high-speed op amps offers sufficient bandwidth for video applications. And 75 ? input and output termination is simple, given the op amp ...
