A few months ago, I wrote a Signal Chain Basics article titled “3 considerations when selecting an op amp.” While that article is very useful for selecting operational amplifiers (op amps) for new ...

In the last Circuit VR we looked at some basic op amp circuits in a simulator, including the non-inverting amplifier. Sometimes you want an amplifier that inverts the signal. That is a 5V input ...

Operational amplifiers or op amps are becoming a crucial building block in high-accuracy and high-bandwidth sensor interfaces by providing precision signal conditioning without calibration, thus ...

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 ...

An optimized, basic op amp offers precise sensor-output performance while negating temperature-induced drift and errors.

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 ...

Op-amp performance is disrupted by EMI in a variety of ways. Reducing EMI in amplifiers using filters. How to mitigate EMI in Class-D audio amps. In this article, electromagnetic interference (EMI) ...

TI has revealed early fruits from the latest in its long-running series of BiCom advanced bipolar processes: the 27V 200MHz low-noise OPA2810 and the 36V zero-drift 14MHz OPA189, which are aimed at ...
