In Seemingly Simple Circuits: Transresistance Amplifier, Part 1– Approximating Op-Amps, the op-amp was approximated from a single-pole, finite gain amplifier to an infinite-gain, single-pole op-amp, ...

The circuit in Figure 1 is suited for inductive sources such as a dynamic microphone, transformer or inductance sensor/pick up. Figure 1 A simple amplifier circuit suited for inductive sources such as ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In designing an input stage for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), engineers choose a particular amplifier, assign a target gain, and note the ...

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 ...

Logic Noise is an exploration of building raw synthesizers with CMOS logic chips. This session, we continue to abuse the 4069UB as an amplifier. We’ll turn the simple unity-gain buffer of last session ...

In a signal-conditioning op-amp application, is there an optimum circuit topology for optimizing SNR and SFDR? Here’s a succinct analysis, part mathematical, part simulation, and part cookbook, from ...
