Learn more about two common integrated circuits—operational amplifiers and comparators—and explore the possible pitfalls of using an operational amplifier as a comparator.
This article will discuss the differences between op-amp start-up time vs. settling time and slew rate. We will also walk through a case study for measuring start-up time.
The low-power and low-noise performance of our AEC-Q100-qualified amplifiers and comparators makes them excellent choices for automotive designs.
In this premiere episode of Amp-titudes, we will provide a brief look at the slew rate specification for operational amplifiers, and how this specification applies to an amplifiers performance.
This video provides an overview of various input structures for CMOS, voltage-feedback amplifiers, and discusses how these structures affect the amplifier's ability to support “rail-to-rail” operation.
This video highlights the need for power supply filtering within amplifier circuits, specifically the use of bypass capacitors to minimize any unwanted noise at higher frequencies.
This video provides an explanation of the term “rail-to-rail” as it applies to the output of a CMOS amplifier, and discusses how output loading can affect this parameter.
This video provides a brief look at Bipolar versus CMOS amplifiers and the associated performance trade-offs.
This video provides an overview of an amplifier's voltage and current noise, and walks through a simple example illustrating why both may be critical components of overall system noise.
Overview of two- and three-terminal gas sensors with a focus on the associated potentiostatic circuit and amplifier selection.
