If you’re a child of the ’80s or ’90s, chances are you’ve spent hours tracing out intricate patterns using the pens and gears of a Spirograph kit. Simple as those parts may be, they’re actually a very ...

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 ...

Circuit simulations are great because you can experiment with circuits and make changes with almost no effort. In Circuit VR, we look at circuits using a simulator to do experiments without having to ...

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 ...

Who is involved with simulating op-amp design and developing their datasheets? Clarifications on sometimes obtuse amplifier specifications. Pitfalls to avoid when interpreting ac specs. What to watch ...

Modern op amps have much higher operating bandwidths than their predecessors. These new devices are excellent building blocks that can greatly simplify the design and construction of high-bandwidth ...
