Op amp compensation, despite its omnipresence, can occasionally be challenging especially when one has to choose an optimal compensation technique given the requirements and constraints beyond ...

This white paper discusses a method for driving high-frequency sinusoidal ripple over capacitive loads for power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) testing, an important performance parameter for many ...

The stability of high-unity-gain-bandwidth op amps is susceptible to stray capacitances. Instability doesn't first show up as oscillation, but rather pronounced overshoot and ringing. Op amps such as ...

My hands-on introduction to operational amplifiers was in 1969 while in the army as a junior scientist in the Atmospheric Science Laboratory at the White Sands Proving Grounds. We had taken a ...

Fig 1. Shown is a basic TIA circuit used in dual-supply systems. Fig 2. Figure 1’s TIA circuit was modified for a single supply. Fig 3. Here, the TIA circuit in Figure 2 places a photodiode directly ...
