The most important thing to remember about both DACs and ADCs is that either the input or output is digital, and therefore the signal is quantized. That is, an N-bit word represents one of 2 N ...

The first installment of this article series discussed the need to verify SPICE model accuracy and how to measure the open- and closed-loop small-signal AC output impedance of operational amplifier ...

Give your system a boost by interfacing high-end op amps with ADCs, using one of three different driver architectures. The source that drives high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) sees a ...

Benefits of using an indirect current-mode instrumentation amplifier for large differential offsets. Design specs for a low-power application. Key design considerations when implementing an in-amp ...

One of my first jobs as a freshly minted graduate engineer involved the maintenance of a set of analogue chart recorders. They were museum pieces by the early 1990s: a motorized roll of graph paper ...

According to ROHM, its ultra-compact TLR1901GXZ CMOS op amp is the industry’s lowest operating circuit current. The op amp is ...

Texas Instruments has released two precision op amps fabricated on a complementary bipolar 36V silicon germanium (SiGe) process. “This is a complementary silicon germanium process which improves the ...

In the world of audiophilia there are arguments that rage over the relative merits of particular components. Sometimes this can reach silly levels as in the high-end ALPS pot we once saw chosen as a ...

ROHM Semiconductor today announced the development of the TLR1901GXZ, an ultra-compact CMOS operational amplifier (op amp) that achieves the industry’s lowest operating circuit current. Optimized for ...
