Andy recommends favorite resources for basic op amp circuits and includes a portion of TI's AN-20. Test your knowledge with our op amp quiz; answer explanations are included. By 1969, a fledgling ...

In a balanced op-amp circuit, the op-amp inputs see equal impedances looking into the circuit. Balanced circuits provide better performance by cancelling some input errors and have a simple R F /R I ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Transistors are the fundamental building blocks of modern electronic devices. Depending on whether they are used to amplify or switch electronic signals they can be grouped into ...

A team of Case Western Reserve University engineers has designed and fabricated integrated amplifier circuits that operate up to 600°C. The silicon-carbide amplifiers have applications in aerospace ...

Global internet is growing at a compound rate of 24% per year, reaching 3.3 zettabytes per year by 2021. High-speed optical communication is urgently needed in this ever-connected world, and to keep ...

Process devices operate when an input level, such as voltage, reaches the required value for the device to operate. The transistor is on, when the input voltage is greater than or equal to \(0.7 V\).

After the transistor came of age, there was still room for the venerable vacuum tube in the burgeoning world of electronics. But even though that world is getting bigger, its parts are getting smaller ...

Using a multi-shunt-based current-monitoring circuit with a 50-MHz op amp delivers an overcurrent detection response time of ...

Water molecules distort the electrical resistance of graphene, but a team of researchers has discovered that when this two-dimensional material is integrated with the metal of a circuit, contact ...

The cost of 3D printing has come down dramatically to the point you can set up a small printer in your home. Those printers only spit out little plastic baubles, though. The cutting edge of 3D ...
