Op amps excel at providing many useful and clever solutions to routine or complicated circuit functions. A summing circuit is a perfect example. A summing circuit is typically used in applications ...

Sometimes I wish FETs had become practical before bipolar transistors. A FET is a lot more like a tube and amplifies voltages. Bipolar transistors amplify current and that makes them a bit harder to ...

This application note presents the ISL73096RH/ISL73127RH/ISL73128RH transistor arrays and focuses on designing RF amplifiers employing these featured transistor ...

The very basics of operational amplifiers. Learn comparator, inverting, and non-inverting op-amp configurations. An operational amplifier, or op amp, is a dc-coupled high-gain electronic voltage ...

This document is an application note of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout techniques in operational amplifier precision design. It discusses the PCB effects experienced in high DC precision op ...

In the last Circuit VR we looked at some basic op amp circuits in a simulator, including the non-inverting amplifier. Sometimes you want an amplifier that inverts the signal. That is a 5V input ...

Some high-end audio designers see themselves as artists. They might invest years of their life into perfecting an audio circuit or devising a turntable that’s immune to disturbance from external ...

Logarithmic amplifier chips produce an output voltage that is directly proportional to the logarithm of an input voltage or current. They are often used in applications involving signal compression, ...
