The ADA4899-1 ultralow-noise amplifier is unity-gain-stable and suits use as a buffer. The device features a 250-MHz bandwidth, a 310V/µsec slew rate, and a 600-MHz 23-dB bandwidth. The vendor's ...

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 ...

The operational amplifier, or op amp, is one of the most basic building blocks used in analog circuits. Ever since single-chip op amps were introduced in the 1960s, thousands of different types have ...

Andy recommends favorite resources for basic op amp circuits and includes a portion of TI's AN-20. Test your knowledge with our op amp quiz; answer explanations are included. By 1969, a fledgling ...

You can take an op amp with rare input characteristics and elevate it to achieve higher voltage range, better gain accuracy, higher slew rate, and less distortion than the original op amp. I was ...

Most everyone that has ever purchased an external amplifier is at least familiar with the term voltage gain. Simply, it is the degree to which an amplifier actually ...

National Semiconductor is claiming at top-rated precision amplifier design with its LMP8100A programmable gain amplifier which offers 0.03 per cent gain accuracy using a software adjustable gain (in ...

at the top of this picture. Each board is two channels. An audio amplifier can boost the small incoming audio signal’s voltage by increasing its voltage, and current. The degree to which the amplifier ...

In the first article about measurement systems we looked at sensors as a way to bring data into a measurement system. I explained that a sensor measures physical quantities which are turned into a ...
