Dallas, Tex. – In an effort to boost receiver dynamic range levels in wireless base stations, high-speed data acquisition, test and measurement, medical imaging and defense applications, Texas ...

If you’ve ever wondered why an op amp has the little plus and minus symbols on it, its because at the heart of it, the device is a differential amplifier. The problem is that — ideally, at least — it ...

The operational amplifier is arguably the most useful single device in analog electronic circuitry. When you apply them in the circuits, you must know their basics and functions. As for the function ...

The term instrumentation amplifier (INA) often is misused, referring to the application rather than the architecture of the device. Historically, any amplifier that was considered precision (i.e., ...

Many industrial and medical applications use instrumentation amplifiers (INA) to condition small signals in the presence of large common-mode voltages and DC potentials. The three op amp INA ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Recently, an engineer asked for a solution to provide high-side monitoring of a 20-A load with an accurate overcurrent ...

Q. Why buy an expensive comparator when an op amp is just as good? A. Because it isn't. My advice to anyone tempted to use an operational amplifier (op amp) as a comparator is the same as Mr. Punch's ...
