Op amps are pretty dang cool, with a lot of neat circuits you could build using them. I actually just put the finishing touches on my first actual op amp design and sent the design files over to ...

Power op amps often use circuits that minimize the number of power-handling components. In many power amps, the output devices may take some 70% of the silicon die area and, ...

The operational amplifier (op-amp) is a high performance gain device with essentially linear qualities. Theoretically the gain of a bare op-amp is infinite, limited only by the voltage of the power ...

Also, the composite buffer in Figure 2 completely eliminates power-dissipation-related errors in the op-amp input.1 C9 and C10 can be replaced by adjustable shunt regulators and R3 and R4 by ...

The op-amps used are bit old-school FET devices, but aside from the high impedance input their performance is hardly critical. Yet another op-amp circuit to hold in reserve should you ever need to ...

The Analog Engineer’s Circuit Cookbook: Op Amps is an example. It compiles more than 25 popular op-amp circuit designs like current sensing, attenuating, and full-wave rectifying into a single e ...

Analog Devices has created a fast power op-amp that can handle ±55V rails and ±1A outputs, with a digital control bus for setting internal parameters. Called ADHV4710, the output can swing ±52V with ...
