Modern op amps have much higher operating bandwidths than their predecessors. These new devices are excellent building blocks that can greatly simplify the design and construction of high-bandwidth ...

In the last Circuit VR we looked at some basic op amp circuits in a simulator, including the non-inverting amplifier. Sometimes you want an amplifier that inverts the signal. That is a 5V input ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments. Op amps solve most problems in analog circuit design—if you know how to use them. Here are some resources to help expand your op-amp knowledge base. Whenever you need ...

After my last Signal Chain Basics article, The basics of op amp loop-stability analysis: A tale of twin loop-gains, I received questions about how to generate the open-loop SPICE simulation curves ...

Circuit simulations are great because you can experiment with circuits and make changes with almost no effort. In Circuit VR, we look at circuits using a simulator to do experiments without having to ...

In the last column (Simulating op amp noise) I showed how to do simple and fast simulations on op amp circuits to get a handle on what kind of noise performance to expect. As can be expected with any ...
