The op amp! Whether you’re doing tricky signal conditioning, analog computations like it’s 1960, or just making music sound good, op amps are at the heart of many designs.

Indeed, IC op-amp performance continues to rise dramatically, to hundreds of megahertz and over a gigahertz, as exemplified by the Maxim SiGe 400-MHz to 2.5-GHz MAX 2640/2641 ultra-low-noise op ...

With over 35 years of refinement, op amps are a staple of analog designers. Have we reached the limit of what can be done with monolithic op amps? For many applications, IC op ...

Tucson, Ariz.&#8212 Apex Microtechnology is answering the growing demand for power analog ICs that deliver on precision power, performance and value by breaking new ground in high speed, high voltage ...

The 1501 was the first modular op-amp and is now part of the Smithsonian collection. The 1 st monolithic (IC) op-amp was introduced by Fairchild (uA702 Bob Widlar). It was not very useful and was ...

A while back, [Chris Lu] was studying how analog circuits, specifically op-amps can be used to perform mathematical operations and wondered if they could be persuaded to solve differential equation… ...

Analog Devices has created a fast power op-amp that can handle ±55V rails and ±1A outputs, with a digital control bus for setting internal parameters. Called ADHV4710, the output can swing ±52V with ...
