(Editor's note: the op amp is a basic building block of the analog world and analog circuitry. Despite its extremely simple functional block diagram, it has many operating parameters from critical to ...

Operational amplifiers (commonly called op amps) are a ubiquitous building block for designing electronic circuits. Today, these devices are fabricated as small integrated circuits, but the concept ...

Circuit simulations are great because you can experiment with circuits and make changes with almost no effort. In Circuit VR, we look at circuits using a simulator to do experiments without having to ...

Are your jellybeans getting stale? [lcamtuf] thinks so, and his guide to choosing op-amps makes a good case for rethinking what parts you should keep in stock. For readers of a certain vintage, the ...

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 ...

Op-amp performance is disrupted by EMI in a variety of ways. Reducing EMI in amplifiers using filters. How to mitigate EMI in Class-D audio amps. In this article, electromagnetic interference (EMI) ...

TI has revealed early fruits from the latest in its long-running series of BiCom advanced bipolar processes: the 27V 200MHz low-noise OPA2810 and the 36V zero-drift 14MHz OPA189, which are aimed at ...

Power operational amplifiers (POPs) are becoming increasingly common in control circuitry. Their primary advantages over conventional amplifiers are reduced part counts, increased reliability, and ...

Texas Instruments has released two precision op amps fabricated on a complementary bipolar 36V silicon germanium (SiGe) process. “This is a complementary silicon germanium process which improves the ...
