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 ...

With over 35 years of refinement, op amps are a staple of analog designers. Have we reached the limit of what can be done with monolithic op amps? For many applications, IC op amps are clearly the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
