An operational amplifier or op-amp is simply a linear Integrated Circuit (IC) having multiple-terminals. The op-amp can be considered to be a voltage amplifying device that is designed to be used with ...

The very basics of operational amplifiers. Learn comparator, inverting, and non-inverting op-amp configurations. An operational amplifier, or op amp, is a dc-coupled high-gain electronic voltage ...

On the surface, it’s a fairly straightforward-looking fuzz box, with level, fuzz and filter controls, plus a three-position toggle offering flat, mid-boosted or mid-scooped tone shifts. But this being ...

Op amps are the basic building blocks for much of linear circuit design. You probably learned about them in college and even designed some products containing an op amp. As an electronic engineer, you ...

We are all used to the op-amp, as a little black box from which we can derive an astonishingly useful range of circuit functions. But of course within it lurks a transistor circuit on a chip, and ...

How do you get the input of an op-amp to work below the negative-most supply rail?, I asked. Now I know – thanks to the patience of ADI field application engineer Andreas Koch. It was not just any ...

Protection circuits are vital for any electronic design to be successful. In our previous protection circuit tutorials we have designed many basic protection circuits that can be adapted into your ...

Before we dive into the differential Op-amps, let’s quickly run through the basics of Op-Amp. An Op-Amp is a five terminal device (single package) with two terminals (Vs+, Vs-) for powering the device ...

Today’s circuit designers usually will need to design with analog circuitry on their boards, even if the core circuitry is Processor-based or a power supply design, MEMS/sensor or such. The problem is ...

For hams who build their own radios, mastering the black art of radio frequency electronics is a necessary first step to getting on the air. But if voice transmissions are a goal, some level of ...
