During the last 20 years, electronics has become primarily a digital domain. But even though modern mixed-signal ICs have replaced many traditional analog implementations, pure analog hardware ...

Op amps are often used as drivers for ADCs to provide the gain and level-shifting required for the input signal to match the input range of the ADC. An op amp may be required because of the ...

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 ...

The ordinary modern IC op amp is fully applicable to most standard amplifier configurations. Error sources are small and may be of no concern, or one can easily ...

My hands-on introduction to operational amplifiers was in 1969 while in the army as a junior scientist in the Atmospheric Science Laboratory at the White Sands Proving Grounds. We had taken a ...

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 ...

ST has created a dual precision op-amp for automotive sensor signal conditioning, with 20µV input offset voltage and 100nV/°C drift, and operation over 4 to 36V and -40 to 125°C. Input common mode ...

STMicroelectronics’ TSB182 dual operational amplifier provides high-accuracy signal conditioning for sensors, including maximum 20µV input offset voltage, 100nV/°C drift over temperature, and 4V-36V ...
