Operational Amplifiers

Operational Amplifiers
The operational amplifier, often referred to as an op-amp, is a multifaceted building block of a circuit. This electronic component functions like a …
Characteristics of OpAmp
The operational amplifier, commonly known as an op-amp, is a specially designed electronic circuit component. Its purpose is to work in conjunction with …
Inverting and Non-inverting OpAmps
The inverting amplifier connects the input voltage through a resistor to the inverting terminal, grounds the non-inverting terminal, and has a feedback …
Sum and Difference OpAmps
A summing amplifier, or an adder, uses an operational amplifier to combine multiple input signals into a single output. Conversely, a difference …
Characteristics of Practical Op Amps
A difference amplifier containing a common and a difference-mode signal ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal. However, in practical circuits, …
Integrator and Differentiator
Op-amp circuits have significant applications in various fields, including automotive engineering. One such application is cruise control systems in cars, …
Cascaded Op Amps
Operational Amplifiers can be connected in a cascade – one after another in linear sequence without altering their input-output relationships due to their …
Instrumentation Amplifier
In an electrocardiography machine, electrodes detect small electrical changes on the skin resulting from heart muscle depolarization during each …
Design Example: Vintage Mixing Console
A sound engineer at a music company faces a challenge. The output from their studio's newly acquired vintage mixing console is insufficient for modern …
Microfluidic Imaging Flow Cytometry by Asymmetric-detection Time-stretch Optical Microscopy (ATOM)
Scaling the number of measurable parameters, which allows for multidimensional data analysis and thus higher-confidence statistical results, has been the …
Calibration of Vector Network Analyzer for Measurements in Radio Frequency Propagation Channels
In situ measurements of radio frequency (RF) spectrum activity provide insight into the physics of radio frequency wave propagation and validate existing …
Amplitude-Modulated Electrodeformation to Evaluate Mechanical Fatigue of Biological Cells
Red blood cells (RBCs) are known for their remarkable deformability. They repeatedly undergo considerable deformation when passing through the …
