The operational amplifier is arguably the most useful single device in analog electronic circuitry. When you apply them in the circuits, you must know their basics and functions. As for the function ...

An optimized, basic op amp offers precise sensor-output performance while negating temperature-induced drift and errors.

Power operational amplifiers (POPs) are becoming increasingly common in control circuitry. Their primary advantages over conventional amplifiers are reduced part counts, increased reliability, and ...

(Editor's note: the op amp is a basic building block of the analog world and analog circuitry. Despite its extremely simple functional block diagram, it has many operating parameters from critical to ...

What is driving the power vs. performance tradeoffs? How to improve the op-amp bandwidth-to-power ratio. How noise, distortion, and other factors impact the power/performance design decisions. The ...

The term instrumentation amplifier (INA) often is misused, referring to the application rather than the architecture of the device. Historically, any amplifier that was considered precision (i.e., ...

High performance with low power consumption: this requirement is coming to bear in more and more applications, especially when it comes to mobile, battery-operated devices. Particularly in the times ...

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 ...

When something is described as “Low Noise”, it is by the nature of the language a relative phrase. The higest quality magnetic tape is low noise compared to its cheaper sibling for example, but still ...

What if a palm-sized amp could outperform larger, more expensive modules while delivering serious sound quality? Check out ...

Following the late-2024 launch of the Caspian 4G Integrated and Streaming Amplifiers, Roksan is wasting no time in 2026 by expanding the range with the-Am ...
