Op Amps are among the most widely used components in systems design of electronic circuits. Although functionally simple, they exhibit complex behavior as the Op Amp itself is a carefully crafted ...

We analog designers take great pains to make our amplifiers stable when we design them, but there are many situations that cause them to oscillate in the real world. Various types of loads can make ...

Modeling the performance of an analog device with SPICE is one of the standard techniques used by circuit designers to perform initial characterization and performance analysis before putting together ...

My hands-on introduction to operational amplifiers was in 1969 while in the army as a junior scientist in the Atmospheric Science Laboratory at the White Sands Proving Grounds. We had taken a ...

Picking up where we left off in Part 1, we need to explore some methods to mitigate problems caused by unpredictable ground currents.

A new class of precision amplifier, the LT1970, features a voltage-programmable output current limit with guaranteed 2% accuracy. While more rigid designs require a resistor to set the output current ...

Op amps are generally pretty easy to apply, but there are some practical nonideal behaviors you have to keep in mind. [EEforEveryone] takes a test board with some 2X amplifiers on it and — after some ...

Of digital electronics, a wise man once said that “Every idiot can count to one.” Truer words have rarely been spoken, because at the end of the day, every digital circuit is really just an analog ...

There are a number of reasons why an engineer would want to “split” a voltage rail in their design. Sometimes parts of the circuit, like a sensor or an IC, require a bipolar supply. Other reasons are ...

Following the late-2024 launch of the Caspian 4G Integrated and Streaming Amplifiers, Roksan is wasting no time in 2026 by expanding the range with the-Am ...
