Diodes has entered the precision low-voltage low-power op-amp fray with a dual-channel 8μV(typ) input offset voltage device consuming 12μA quiescent per amplifier. Diodes has entered the precision low ...

And here it is, modelled using LTSpice. It is the same circuit as the classic simple precision rectifier (set to pass the negative half-sine), but with the non-inverting input of the op-amp connected ...

The op amp dates back to the early 1940s, according to some sources. But it was only in the late 1960s that it adopted its current form factor, with the development of monolithic process technology.

Schemes of two-half-period rectifiers on op amps with switching inputs in accordance with the polarity of the input voltage are given. The switching of inputs is performed by a control signal taken ...

Precision rectifier circuits are commonly used where the absolute value of a signal is needed, as part of a circuit measuring signal magnitude in metering applications. Countless designs exist for ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The precision op amp plays a key role in analog and mixed-signal circuits. Applications extend from measuring large currents by amplifying the voltage ...

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 ...

While there is a trend towards integration within the electronics industry, the demand for discrete products appears to remain unaffected. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the analogue world, ...
