Circuit simulations are great because you can experiment with circuits and make changes with almost no effort. In Circuit VR, we look at circuits using a simulator to do experiments without having to ...

In the last Circuit VR we looked at some basic op amp circuits in a simulator, including the non-inverting amplifier. Sometimes you want an amplifier that inverts the signal. That is a 5V input ...

The operational amplifier (op amp) is the fundamental building block of all types of analog circuits. There are literally thousands of different ones available from dozens of vendors, ranging from ...

Operational amplifiers or op amps are becoming a crucial building block in high-accuracy and high-bandwidth sensor interfaces by providing precision signal conditioning without calibration, thus ...

Native SPICE elements that accurately replicate an op amp’s real-world behavior were nonexistent. A transconductance sourcing current from the rails and transitioning to a resistive state as the ...

Who is involved with simulating op-amp design and developing their datasheets? Clarifications on sometimes obtuse amplifier specifications. Pitfalls to avoid when interpreting ac specs. What to watch ...
