If we had to pick one part to crown as the universal component in the world of analogue electronics, it would have to be the operational amplifier. The humble op-amp can be configured into so many ...

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 ...

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 ...

b. The gain is set by VCC as the higher the supply voltage, the higher the gain. c. By the value of R3 as this resistor to ground sets the offset bias seen by the op-amp hence the gain. d. By the ...

This document is an application note of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout techniques in operational amplifier precision design. It discusses the PCB effects experienced in high DC precision op ...

If you have read my first blog, you may have noticed that I really like op amps. My primary expertise lies in designing them, but I’m also intrigued by clever op-amp application circuits. To promote ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Operational amplifiers serve many applications, from measuring current through a shunt to converting a photoconductive photodiode’s output to a voltage. The precision ...
