Op amps are the ubiquitous component in the “analog glue” circuitry in so many systems. The choices are endless. When designers select an op amp, they often narrow their search by focusing on one of a ...

This chapter of the book deals with data conversion and associated signal conditioning circuitry involving the use of op amps. Data conversion is a very broad topic, and this chapter will provide only ...

[Tim] wanted to help out a ECE student struggling with some Op-Amp problems. He put together a video which does a good job of explaining what an Op-Amp does, then tackles each of the questions one at ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced the TSZ901 operational amplifier, a device designed to deliver exceptional accuracy, speed, ...

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 ...

If you’re designing a linear circuit of any kind today, it most likely involves an op amp and even an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The op amp is your go-to device simply because it can be ...

The ordinary modern IC op amp is fully applicable to most standard amplifier configurations. Error sources are small and may be of no concern, or one can easily ...

In the last Circuit VR we looked at some basic op amp circuits in a simulator, including the non-inverting amplifier. Sometimes you want an amplifier that inverts the signal. That is a 5V input ...

Guest columnist Harry Holt, applications engineer at Analog Devices, believes that two into one is a relevant question when designs need more than one operational amplifier. In designs requiring ...

Delivering many improved major specs over traditional LM324 op-amps, but with rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, STMicroelectronics has introduced a 6MHz all-rounder op-amp family that will operate from ...

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