Over the last 5 years some outstanding advances have been made in monolithic operational amplifiers. These devices have progressed from the point where they were an expensive curiosity, with marginal ...

In a balanced op-amp circuit, the op-amp inputs see equal impedances looking into the circuit. Balanced circuits provide better performance by cancelling some input errors and have a simple R F /R I ...

Balanced bandpass filters (BPFs) have emerged as critical components in modern communication systems, enabling high-fidelity signal transmission through differential-mode (DM) processing while ...

Differential amplifiers offer many advantages for manipulating differential signals. They provide immunity to external noise; a 6-dB increase in dynamic range, which is a clear advantage for ...

Current‐mode amplifiers have emerged as a highly efficient alternative to traditional voltage‐mode systems, particularly in high frequency and low power electronic applications. Their ability to ...

In the past, the term instrumentation amplifier (INA) was often misused, referring to the application rather than the device’s architecture. INAs are related to op amps, in that they’re based on the ...

High performance with low power consumption: this requirement is coming to bear in more and more applications, especially when it comes to mobile, battery-operated devices. Particularly in the times ...

Are your jellybeans getting stale? [lcamtuf] thinks so, and his guide to choosing op-amps makes a good case for rethinking what parts you should keep in stock. For readers of a certain vintage, the ...
