Op amps are very high gain amplifiers with differential inputs and single-ended outputs. They are often used in high precision analog circuits, so it is important to measure their performance ...

VisualDSP++ is an easy-to-install and easy-to-use integrated software development and debugging environment (IDDE) that enables efficient management of projects from start to finish from within a ...

Coilcraft Inc. has been a specialist in the area of wire-wound inductors, filters and transformers for over 70 years. As an innovator and leader in both RF & Power magnetics, Coilcraft has used its ...

Q. I'm not sure I understand how current-feedback amplifiers work as compared with regular op amps. I've heard that their bandwidth is constant regardless of gain. How does that work? Are they the ...

Many industries are calling for electronics that can operate reliably in harsh environments, including extremely high temperatures. Traditionally, engineers had to rely on active or passive cooling ...

This application note provides design and manufacturing guidance in the use of the lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP). The LFCSP is compliant with JEDEC MO220 and MO229 outlines. The LFCSP is a ...

Even with the widespread use of rail-to-rail single supply op amps, there is still often the requirement for dual rails (for example, ±15 V) to be generated from a single (positive) input power rail ...

For a human, experiencing a fall unobserved can be doubly dangerous. The obvious possibility of initial injury may be further aggravated by the possible consequences if treatment is not obtained ...

UART, or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, is one of the most used device-to-device communication protocols. This article shows how to use UART as a hardware communication protocol by ...

Serial peripheral interface (SPI) is one of the most widely used interfaces between microcontroller and peripheral ICs such as sensors, ADCs, DACs, shift registers, SRAM, and others. This article ...

IBIS stands for input/output buffer information specification. It represents the characteristics or behavior of the digital pins of a device that IC vendors provide to their customers for use in high ...

In the closing of RAQ 56, Amplifier, attenuator or both?, I indicated that you can force the noise gain (NG) while maintaining the signal gain. The amplifier’s stability in a circuit is determined by ...
