This application note presents the ISL73096RH/ISL73127RH/ISL73128RH transistor arrays and focuses on designing RF amplifiers employing these featured transistor ...

Sometimes I wish FETs had become practical before bipolar transistors. A FET is a lot more like a tube and amplifies voltages. Bipolar transistors amplify current and that makes them a bit harder to ...

Usually targeted at audio applications, these circuit blocks find homes in all types of designs. Here’s a quick study of their operation and properties. Two of the most often used amplifier building ...

Power amplifiers (PAs) are pivotal elements in modern wireless communication and radar systems, where enhancing output power and efficiency remains a critical challenge. Recent advances in PA design ...

Battery-powered op-amp applications, such as those found in automotive and marine equipment, have only a single available power source. Other applications, such as computers, may operate from the ac ...

In a signal-conditioning op-amp application there are a number of different approaches to take—what noise and SFDR advantages might one offer over another. In designing an input stage for an analog-to ...

Everyone has a chip-of-shame: it’s the part that you know is suboptimal but you keep using it anyway because it just works well enough. Maybe it’s not what you would put into a design that you’re ...

A design for a new broad-bandwidth amplifier for detecting single microwave photons has been unveiled by physicists at the University of California, Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National ...
