Operational amplifiers (op-amps) are almost the perfect amplifiers. As long as you keep a few important details in mind, they will seem perfect. In part 1, I gave a simplified explanation of how an op ...

When it was first introduced in 1968, Fairchild’s 741 op-amp made quite a splash. And with good reason; it packed a bunch of components into a compact package, and the applications for it were nearly ...

Abstract: Features of the schematic design of two types of operational amplifiers (Op-Amp) on the new BiJFet array chip (AC) MH2XA030 are considered. The topology, the electric circuits of the Op-Amp ...

The operational amplifier is arguably the most useful single device in analog electronic circuitry. When you apply them in the circuits, you must know their basics and functions. As for the function ...

Op amps are the basic building blocks for much of linear circuit design. You probably learned about them in college and even designed some products containing an op amp. As an electronic engineer, you ...

Analog Devices Educational Webcast to Focus on Basics of Op Amp Operation to Help Engineers Optimize Circuit Performance. Analog Devices will air “The Op Amp” webcast on February 9, 2011. The ...

It's quite an amazing time to be working with low-power wireless, focused on technologies that include IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee™, RF4CE, Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE), and ANT™. Earlier in the Signal Chain ...

In Part 1 of this article, we discussed some of the basic system considerations associated with using audio data converters. We focused on the control method and the basic audio performance metrics ...
