From the micromixer topology by Barrie Gilbert [1], this amplifier allows a single-ended input to be converted to a Class A/B current output from a single supply. Wow the engineering world with your ...

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 ...

Extron recently announced the immediate availability of the IN1804 DI/DO, the newest member of the IN1804 family of compact, four-input scalers that provide video scaling, switching and integration ...

Continuing last month’s fundamentals-based theme, I’d like to address the devices that make closed-loop control work. As discussed, control loop algorithms are implemented by software within a BAS ...

In a digital world, why bother with analog? Well, sometimes it can still be the right solution. Take, for instance, the analog multiplier (see figure). At its simplest, it’s a circuit that leverages ...

Previous installments of this series discussed the need to verify SPICE model accuracy and how to measure the output impedance and small-signal bandwidth of operational amplifier (op amp) models. In ...

The system in Figure 2 uses the ADF4372 PLL (see Figure 5), a wideband synthesizer with integrated VCO, that allows the implementation of fractional-N or integer-N frequency synthesizers when used ...
