It’s tempting to treat an op-amp as a triangular black box in a circuit diagram, but understanding its operation gives an insight into analogue electronics that’s worth having.

Op amps have been around since the early 1940s, existing alongside vacuum-tube circuitry, ... between a single power supply and an op amp. With that said, an op amp's operation is simple: ...

Violations of V ICMR commonly occur in single-supply op-amp applications using 3.3V, 5V, or other low-voltage supplies. In these applications, the input signal range typically is narrow, and you must ...

Whether this timeless effect comes from an amp or a pedal, the sound of this O.G. guitar effect still has us shaking all over ...

Some specialty op amps are designed for low-voltage operation. Powering these op amps from a low-voltage single supply, such as 5 or 3.3V, may introduce input-headroom limitations. This scenario can ...

One way to look at the operation of a comparator is to examine the basic op-amp configuration shown in Figure 1a. The amplifier has very high open-loop gain (A OL >> 1000).

The mission for the Rangers of Charlie Company during Operation Eagle claw was twofold: The first was providing security at the refueling site code name “Desert One” with local security during ...

CORRECTING and REPLACING Automotive-Compliant Precision Op-Amps from Diodes ... AUTOMOTIVE-COMPLIANT PRECISION OP-AMPS FROM DIODES INCORPORATED OFFER WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE AND LOW NOISE OPERATION.

It was not just any op-amp, but the LT1490 dual, also available as the LT1491 quad. This is a pretty neat device for applications where there is a risk of electrical abuse – at least, situations that ...

We are all used to the op-amp, as a little black box from which we can derive an astonishingly useful range of circuit functions. But of course within it lurks a transistor circuit on a chip, and u… ...
