Op Amps: Common Circuits (Part 2)

This post covers the other most commonly used op amp circuits. Basic math functions such as addition and subtraction can accomplished with op amps. Basic analog filters and an integrator demo are also discussed. Click

Op Amps: Common Circuits (Part 1)

Why use an operational amplifier?  This post will demonstrate voltage follower, comparator, and amplifier circuits and provide the governing equations.  For ease of understanding the circuits, we will pretend that the op amp is ideal. 

Op Amps: The Practical Model

This post covers part two of The Guide to Practical Operational Amplifiers. The topic for this post is a model covering how op amps operate in the real world and how that differs from the

Op Amps: Choosing and Reading Datasheets

This Guide to Practical Operational Amplifiers was written for a corporate R&D audience based on prior training I received, research I have performed into op amp performance, my experiences analyzing design tradeoffs, and results I
