You have voted. Unity-gain-stable op amps won in a landslide—they’re far more popular than decompensated op amps. What’s this all about? Unity-gain-stable op amps (let’s call them UGS) are stable in ...

Op amps. Often the first thing that many learn about when beginning the journey into analog electronics, they’re used in countless ways in an overwhelmingly large array of circuits. When we think ...

Demand for high-speed data acquisition is pressuring suppliers of analog front ends, specifically operational amplifiers, to put more features into smaller packages. Chip makers have responded with ...

What is a chopper-stabilized operational amplifier (op amp)? Chopper-stabilized amps constantly correct low-frequency errors across the inputs of the amplifier. This makes them attractive alternatives ...

My hands-on introduction to operational amplifiers was in 1969 while in the army as a junior scientist in the Atmospheric Science Laboratory at the White Sands Proving Grounds. We had taken a ...

A family of operational amplifiers featuring a gain-bandwidth product of 100 kHz typically requires an ultra-low quiescent current of 600 nA and a maximum quiescent current of just 1 µA. Microchip ...
