The hybrid IC is not extinct. Hybrids can be tuned to give superior specifications, especially in drift over temperature and noise that cannot be reached with a high volume monolithic device. Apex ...

Andy recommends favorite resources for basic op amp circuits and includes a portion of TI's AN-20. Test your knowledge with our op amp quiz; answer explanations are included. By 1969, a fledgling ...

An optimal way to determine an op amp's input capacitance. Steps involved in making the input-capacitance measurement. 1. With a series resistor at the op-amp input, the input capacitance of the op ...

To sense animals moving I wanted to create a simple IR sensor that would trigger a monostable to generate a rather long pulse when an animal passed by. Further, while the animal remained in front of ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced the TSZ901 operational amplifier, a device designed to deliver exceptional accuracy, speed, ...

When something is described as “Low Noise”, it is by the nature of the language a relative phrase. The higest quality magnetic tape is low noise compared to its cheaper sibling for example, but still ...
