Assuming an op amp is required for one reason or another, the task of its selection is a critical one and not at all straightforward. Figure 3-21 lists a few of the constraints and variables. The most ...

Figure 6 shows the distortion vs. amplitude for the input stage. This will appear (times the noise gain) at the output of the application circuit. You may get more output distortion than this, but not ...

Sometimes, there are too many choices in this world. My benchtop function generator can output a sine, square, or saw wave ...

Reliable Wire-to-Board Connections with Phoenix Contact CONNEXIS The simplest op amp comprises a few basic components: the input resistance, a gain element, and output resistance (Fig. 1a).

You can measure the PSRR by changing the power supply voltages and how the voltage offset changes. The amplifier CMRR is measured by observing how the voltage offset changes as the input common-mode ...

I was pondering possible interfaces between a microcontroller and a 12 or 24V 5015 blower fan. The challenge is that the MCU can only drive 3.3 or 5V, while the blower needs needs a voltage as low as ...

The latest addition to the company’s ultra-low-voltage power management IC family is the NCS2001 rail-to-rail input and output CMOS operational amplifier that can function in the sub-1V region.

Texas Instruments' 36V rail to rail input/output op amp combines low offset and drift with fast settling to improve precision a/d converter performance. The OPA192 achieves stable offset voltage drift ...

When it was first introduced in 1968, Fairchild’s 741 op-amp made quite a splash. And with good reason; it packed a bunch of components into a compact package, and the applications for it wer… ...
