The operational amplifier is arguably the most useful single device in analog electronic circuitry. When you apply them in the circuits, you must know their basics and functions. As for the function ...

An optimized, basic op amp offers precise sensor-output performance while negating temperature-induced drift and errors.

(Editor's note: the op amp is a basic building block of the analog world and analog circuitry. Despite its extremely simple functional block diagram, it has many operating parameters from critical to ...

According to Analog Devices, its 40-V ADA4870 operational amplifier delivers over 1 A of output current at more than twice the slew rate (2500 V/µs) of competing high-output-power amplifiers.

Q. Why buy an expensive comparator when an op amp is just as good? A. Because it isn't. My advice to anyone tempted to use an operational amplifier (op amp) as a comparator is the same as Mr. Punch's ...
