Maybe you are familiar with the op-amp as an extremely versatile component, and you know how to quickly construct a huge variety of circuits with one. Maybe you even have a favorite op-amp or two for ...

In Seemingly Simple Circuits: Transresistance Amplifier, Part 1– Approximating Op-Amps, the op-amp was approximated from a single-pole, finite gain amplifier to an infinite-gain, single-pole op-amp, ...

We are all used to the op-amp, as a little black box from which we can derive an astonishingly useful range of circuit functions. But of course within it lurks a transistor circuit on a chip, and ...

In an earlier blog (Comparing Op-Amp & Video Amp Topologies, Part 1), we examined the bandwidth and phase requirements for processing video. In the most recent blog, we looked at the AC and DC ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In designing an input stage for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), engineers choose a particular amplifier, assign a target gain, and note the ...

In a signal-conditioning op-amp application, is there an optimum circuit topology for optimizing SNR and SFDR? Here’s a succinct analysis, part mathematical, part simulation, and part cookbook, from ...
