When it came time to test the lab prototype described in part 1, I realized that I had no signal generator with enough output voltage swing of any waveform to exercise the circuit. I have generators ...

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 ...

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 have ...

One of the most common questions I see over email and on our TI E2E support forums is some form of, “What op amp should I use for a [insert application here]?” The difficulty in answering this ...

The very basics of operational amplifiers. Learn comparator, inverting, and non-inverting op-amp configurations. An operational amplifier, or op amp, is a dc-coupled high-gain electronic voltage ...

Modeling the performance of an analog device with SPICE is one of the standard techniques used by circuit designers to perform initial characterization and performance analysis before putting together ...
