Op amps with low input capacitance are required in applications such as smoke detectors, photodiode transimpedance amplifiers, medical instrumentation, industrial control systems, and the piezo-sensor ...

Op amps are often used as drivers for ADCs to provide the gain and level-shifting required for the input signal to match the input range of the ADC. An op amp may be required because of the ...

Though sometimes taken for granted, designers shouldn’t overlook the intricacies of voltage- and current-feedback op amps—integral players in the analog and mixed-signal worlds. Op amps amplify tiny ...

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 ...

My hands-on introduction to operational amplifiers was in 1969 while in the army as a junior scientist in the Atmospheric Science Laboratory at the White Sands Proving Grounds. We had taken a ...

Analog Devices has introduced what it claims to be the industry's first precision operational amplifier with more than ±30V of integrated input over voltage protection. The ADA4096-2 is a dual, ...

Linear Tech is aiming at high-impedance sensor transimpedance amplifiers with an op-amp that requires only 3fA of bias current (typical at 25°C) while offering 500MHz gain bandwidth product. Potential ...

Called TSV782 and working down to 2V, allowing it to use the same power rail as low-voltage logic devices, and consumption is 3.3mA/channel – there is no shut-down pin to reduce this. Slew rate is 20V ...

As part of our Op-Amp Challenge we’re seeing a wide diversity of entries showcasing the seemingly endless capabilities of these extremely versatile parts. Another one comes from [Joseph Thomas], who ...

Diodes has released a high-precision operational amplifier (op amp) featuring input offset (VOS) stabilisation for automotive signal conditioning applications. The micro-power AS333Q, a single-channel ...
