After my last Signal Chain Basics article, The basics of op amp loop-stability analysis: A tale of twin loop-gains, I received questions about how to generate the open-loop SPICE simulation curves ...

There are many parameters to consider when designing a circuit using an operational amplifier (op amp) including the op-amp’s gain bandwidth (GBW) product, offset voltage and quiescent current. In ...

In the last Circuit VR we looked at some basic op amp circuits in a simulator, including the non-inverting amplifier. Sometimes you want an amplifier that inverts the signal. That is a 5V input ...

An optimized, basic op amp offers precise sensor-output performance while negating temperature-induced drift and errors.

Design analysis of the K2-W Vacuum Tube Op Amp’s design and operation reveals the mad science that created a commercial revolution in 1950s and 1960s analog computing. Op amps played a critical role ...
