This contest, starting right now, is your chance to show off what you can do with a good op amp, or a few. And for everyone else, here’s your chance to dip your toes into the warm analog waters.

While many op amps can claim either low noise or low distortion, the AD8099 high-speed op amp promises both. It specifies a voltage noise of 0.95 nV/√Hz and a distortion of −90 dB at 10 MHz.

Slew Rate vs. Bandwidth Figure 1 shows a precision OPA391 op amp configured to measure the voltage across a 400- mΩ shunt in response to a 100-A current through it. The op amp, with a 100-k Ω ...

One consequence of this analog “design gap” is a growing anxiety about the ability of design teams to meet tight time-to-market constraints for aggressive mixed-signal ICs. Practical analog-circuit ...

The operational amplifier, or op amp, is one of the most basic building blocks used in analog circuits. Ever since single-chip op amps were introduced in the 1960s, thousands of different types hav… ...

This article first appeared on Chip Center, but that domain is not longer active. Op amp myths By Barrie Gilbert, ADI Fellow; Manager, NW Labs, Beaverton, OR Some years ago, I was traveling on a ...

Linear Tech is aiming at high-impedance sensor transimpedance amplifiers with an op-amp that requires only 3fA of bias current (typical at 25°C) while offering 500MHz gain bandwidth product. Potential ...

Analog Devices is offering a dual-channel, zero-drift operational amplifier which is a chopper-stabilised op amp designed for high DC precision and measurement stability. Suitable for use in gas ...

Pulsic’s Animate ™ is the first complete automated layout system built from the ground up for transistor-level analog design. Animate overcomes traditional challenges to automating analog IC ...
