As operating speeds increase, the effect of the internal impedance at the input nodes become more critical to achieving the desired frequency response. The most common issues revolve around the common ...

In the “Say It with Me” series, we’ll take a commonly used concept out of electronics and explain it the best we can. If there’s something that’s been bugging you, or a certain term or concept that ...

Though sometimes taken for granted, designers shouldn’t overlook the intricacies of voltage- and current-feedback op amps—integral players in the analog and mixed-signal worlds. Op amps amplify tiny ...

As instrumentation amplifiers become less costly, they can provide improved performance in applications that operational amplifiers traditionally served. The op-amp adder in Figure 1 has a few ...

Many industrial and medical applications use instrumentation amplifiers (INA) to condition small signals in the presence of large common-mode voltages and DC potentials. The three op amp INA ...

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 most common device for the measurement of load, pressure, torque, and even piezo-resistive (low frequency) acceleration is the strain gauge transducer. As a transducer, which converts a measured ...

Texas instruments has revealed a buffer amplifier developed especially for oscilloscope inputs from dc to GHz. Texas instruments has revealed a buffer amplifier developed especially for oscilloscope ...
