Circuit simulations are great because you can experiment with circuits and make changes with almost no effort. In Circuit VR, we look at circuits using a simulator to do experiments without having to ...

Another important op amp application is buffering DAC outputs. Modern IC DACs provide either voltage or current outputs. Figure 3-51 shows three fundamental configurations, all with the objective of ...

Electrical engineers designing analog electronics commonly have to drive a capacitive load with an operational amplifier that cannot quite handle the required capacitance. Common approaches to ...

The source that drives high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) sees a high-frequency ac load and a dc load of a few hundred ohms or more. Thus, a high-performance op amp with high input ...

[Kerry Wong] had some extreme MOSFETs (IXTK90N25L2) and decided to create a high current electronic load. The result was a two-channel beast that can handle 50 A per channel. Together, they can sink ...

Given the countless number of operational-amplifier (op amp) makes and models already on the market, it might seem that there’s little call for yet another one. After all, unlike high-level ...
