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 ...

With both current and voltage feedback operational amplifiers (op amps) available to the system designer, how do you select which device to use? This two-part article discusses applications most ...

What is a chopper-stabilized operational amplifier (op amp)? Chopper-stabilized amps constantly correct low-frequency errors across the inputs of the amplifier. This makes them attractive alternatives ...

Intersil says it has used its proprietary precision bipolar process to create a range of op amps for use in 12 to 24bit data acquisition, instrumentation and industrial applications The single ...

Automobiles are rapidly evolving into sophisticated systems whose applications extend far beyond mere transportation. Automakers are positioning their vehicles within a framework called CASE: ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the world of audiophilia there are arguments that rage over the relative merits of particular components. Sometimes this can reach silly levels as in the high-end ALPS pot we once saw chosen as a ...

Diodes has used post-package trimming to hone a 25μV maximum offset 9.5nV√Hz (1kHz) noise dual op amp with 5.5MHz bandwidth. Called AS2376Q, the device is intended for filtering and control, ...
