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 ...

In a balanced op-amp circuit, the op-amp inputs see equal impedances looking into the circuit. Balanced circuits provide better performance by cancelling some input errors and have a simple R F /R I ...

Let me shatter your confidence in simplicity! You think that applying an op amp is as simple as using a non-inverting circuit: Let me shatter your confidence in simplicity! You think that applying an ...

If you’ve ever wondered why an op amp has the little plus and minus symbols on it, its because at the heart of it, the device is a differential amplifier. The problem is that — ideally, at least — it ...

Slewing behavior of op amps is often misunderstood. It’s a meaty topic so let’s sort it out. The input circuitry of an op amp circuit generally has a very small voltage between the inputs—ideally zero ...
