How do you sort through this overwhelming number of devices? One way is to start by selecting the optimal process technology. Most manufacturers clearly label an op amp as CMOS, bipolar, or even ...

Solid-state device technologies, which are available to the amplifier designer, fall, broadly, into three categories: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and junction diodes; junction field effect ...

Op Amps Continue To Flourish SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE FIRST monolithic bipolar operational amplifier (op amp) in the mid-sixties by Fairchild Semiconductor (www.fairchildsemi.com), the technology ...

CHIBA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ABLIC Inc. (President: Nobumasa Ishiai, head office: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, hereinafter “ABLIC”) today launched the S-89630AB, a zero drift operational amplifier ...

A series CMOS amplifiers offers voltage noise that's similar to bipolar amplifiers. Generally known for their low input bias current, CMOS amps are inherently noisier than bipolar designs. The LTC6241 ...

It used to be a rite of passage to be able to do the math necessary to design various bipolar transistor amplifier configurations. This doesn’t come up as often as it used to, but it is still a good ...

What is driving the power vs. performance tradeoffs? How to improve the op-amp bandwidth-to-power ratio. How noise, distortion, and other factors impact the power/performance design decisions. The ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Use of differential signaling in analog front ends is increasing across a range of applications, from audio processing to factory automation.

If you’ve ever glanced at the specifications sheet for an amplifier, one of the things you may have noticed is the amplifier’s class. Typically denoted by a letter or two, the most common amplifier ...
