If you’re a child of the ’80s or ’90s, chances are you’ve spent hours tracing out intricate patterns using the pens and gears of a Spirograph kit. Simple as those parts may be, they’re actually a very ...

Sometimes, there are too many choices in this world. My benchtop function generator can output a sine, square, or saw wave anywhere from 0.01 Hz up to 60 MHz? Way too many choices. At least, that’s ...

Most operational amplifiers (op amps) have input and output electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diodes, as shown in Figure 1. These diodes are designed for protection from ESD damage during ...

The operational amplifier (op amp) is the fundamental building block of all types of analog circuits. There are literally thousands of different ones available from dozens of vendors, ranging from ...

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 ...

What is driving the power vs. performance tradeoffs? How to improve the op-amp bandwidth-to-power ratio. How noise, distortion, and other factors impact the power/performance design decisions. The ...

How every op amp is different and why so many unique models are available. The attributes of the Analog Devices MAX74810 dual op amp. What resources are available to support design-in using this ...
