The first installment of this article series discussed the need to verify SPICE model accuracy and how to measure the open- and closed-loop small-signal AC output impedance of operational amplifier ...

Operational amplifiers (op amps) have proliferated from specialized instruments made from large tubes to tiny monolithic circuits composed of a sliver of silicon, germanium or gallium arsenide. Dozens ...

In the last 15 years, high-speed piezo electric actuators have become less expensive to manufacture. Consequently, they find themselves as a favorite design choice for a growing number of applications ...

In this article, we highlight one of the most important architectural traits of new continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) precision ADCs: the easy to drive resistive input and reference. The key to ...
