Battery-powered op-amp applications, such as those found in automotive and marine equipment, have only a single available power source. Other applications, such as computers, may operate from the ac ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments. Op amps solve most problems in analog circuit design—if you know how to use them. Here are some resources to help expand your op-amp knowledge base. Whenever you need ...

National Semiconductor Corporation announced its Amplifiers Made Simple tool, the industry's first online design tool created to speed the selection, design and testing of many types of operational ...

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 ...

Power operational amplifiers (POPs) are becoming increasingly common in control circuitry. Power operational amplifiers (POPs) are becoming increasingly common in control circuitry. Their primary ...

STMicroelectronics’ latest precision op amp offers accuracy, speed, and stability, and can maintain precision parameters ...

Everyone has a chip-of-shame: it’s the part that you know is suboptimal but you keep using it anyway because it just works well enough. Maybe it’s not what you would put into a design that you’re ...

Engineers are frequently faced with the challenge of developing applications to meet a wide range of requirements. Usually, these requirements are difficult to fulfil simultaneously. One example is ...

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 ...
