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 ...

Many single-supply operational amplifiers are capable of rail-to-rail input operation, if they have the proper input circuitry to support this function. This article is an expansion of the blog post ...

Andy recommends favorite resources for basic op amp circuits and includes a portion of TI's AN-20. Test your knowledge with our op amp quiz; answer explanations are included. By 1969, a fledgling ...

The operational amplifier, or op amp, is one of the most basic building blocks used in analog circuits. Ever since single-chip op amps were introduced in the 1960s, thousands of different types have ...

An optimized, basic op amp offers precise sensor-output performance while negating temperature-induced drift and errors.

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 ...

Rohm has introduced a tiny nano-power rail-to-rail op-amp for sensor amplification, in a 910 x 800μm WLCSP (wafer-level chip-scale package). TLR1901GXZ, as it will be known, is CMOS and has a maximum ...

In the first article about measurement systems we looked at sensors as a way to bring data into a measurement system. I explained that a sensor measures physical quantities which are turned into a ...

A survey of analog devices and techniques, concentrating on operational amplifier design and applications. Operational amplifier design is studied to reveal the limitations of real opamps, and to ...

You can take an op amp with rare input characteristics and elevate it to achieve higher voltage range, better gain accuracy, higher slew rate, and less distortion than the original op amp. I was ...
