This application note covers Printed Circuit Board (PCB) effects encountered in high (DC) precision op amp circuits. It provides techniques for improving the performance, giving more flexibility in ...

The use of operational amplifiers is common these days. In many instances, it can be advantageous to utilize a dual or quad op amp to save circuit board space and costs, but one of the drawbacks is ...

Of digital electronics, a wise man once said that “Every idiot can count to one.” Truer words have rarely been spoken, because at the end of the day, every digital circuit is really just an analog ...

A while back, [Chris Lu] was studying how analog circuits, specifically op-amps can be used to perform mathematical operations and wondered if they could be persuaded to solve differential equations, ...

The source that drives high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) sees a high-frequency ac load and a dc load of a few hundred ohms or more. Thus, a high-performance op amp with high input ...

Engineers are often challenged with making system designs smaller or packing additional functionality in the same amount of printed-circuit-board (PCB) space. Due to higher PCB density within smaller ...

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 ...
