Operational amplifiers (op amps) have proliferated from specialized instruments made from large tubes to tiny monolithic circuits composed of a sliver of silicon, germanium or gallium arsenide. Dozens ...

You go through a process to select an operational amplifier for your circuit by considering the most critical parameters of your application. Some of the parameters you review may include supply ...

Modeling the performance of an analog device with SPICE is one of the standard techniques used by circuit designers to perform initial characterization and performance analysis before putting together ...

In a simplified schematic from its datasheet, Linear Technology's LTC6268 (and 6269 dual) provide no evidence of "secret sauce." Rather, it shows a combination of semiconductor design and process ...

When it comes to our analog designs, op-amps tend to be just another jellybean part. We tend to spec whatever does the job, and don’t give much of a thought as to the internals. And while it doesn’t ...
