Op Amps Continue To Flourish SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE FIRST monolithic bipolar operational amplifier (op amp) in the mid-sixties by Fairchild Semiconductor (www.fairchildsemi.com), the technology ...

A key subsystem in a programmable logic controller is the analog input module, which provides a high-precision front end to measure a wide variety of sensors. In many cases, however, the amplifier ...

The Norton amplifier topology brings back the essence of analog design by using clever circuit techniques to deliver strong performance with minimal components. It is not about a brand name—it’s about ...

Many noise sources can plague high-speed radio-frequency (RF) analog signal chains, making design considerations that much more challenging. Both megahertz and sub-terahertz sampling-rate converters ...
