The operational amplifier, or op amp, is one of the most basic building blocks used in analog circuits. Ever since single-chip op amps were introduced in the 1960s, thousands of different types have ...

Switching regulators have delivered such convenience and efficiency compared to their linear siblings, that it’s now becoming rare to see an old-style three-terminal regulator. Modern designs have ...

Chandler, AZ — Microchip Technology Inc., a provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors offers an innovative analog device for the digital environment. These devices enable a standard ...

Chandler, Ariz. –In the quest for the “perfect” op amp–in this case, meaning zero offset voltage, V os –several techniques are in use, including design topology and technique; process improvement; ...

Included among the many applications for pulse-width modulation (PWM) are voltage regulation, power-level control, and fan-speed control. A PWM circuit for such systems can be implemented with three ...

While many op amps can claim either low noise or low distortion, the AD8099 high-speed op amp promises both. It specifies a voltage noise of 0.95 nV/vHz and a distortion of -90 dB at 10 MHz. Analog ...
