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 ...

Operational amplifiers — or op amps, as you probably call them — have long been a key building block in analog circuits. It’s true even in our digital age as op amps are tapped to handle useful ...

In systems with multiple supply voltages, operational amplifier power supplies must be established simultaneously with, or before, any input signals are applied. If this doesn’t happen, overvoltage ...

If you’re designing a linear circuit of any kind today, it most likely involves an op amp and even an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The op amp is your go-to device simply because it can be ...

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 ...
