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 ...

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 ...

Who is involved with simulating op-amp design and developing their datasheets? Clarifications on sometimes obtuse amplifier specifications. Pitfalls to avoid when interpreting ac specs. What to watch ...

When it comes to our analog designs, op-amps tend to be just another jellybean part. We tend to spec whatever does the job, and don’t give much of a thought as to the internals. And while it doesn’t ...

Op amps are very-high-gain amplifiers with differential inputs and single-ended outputs. They are often used in high precision analog circuits, so it is important to measure their performance ...

Since the introduction of the first IC op amp, huge advances have been made in both semiconductor processing and circuit design. For roughly 40 years, IC manufacturers have employed these advances to ...
