Ever since Robert Widlar designed the µA702 in 1963, the first monolithic op-amp IC from Fairchild Semiconductor (followed by the venerable µA709 in 1965), IC op amps have largely kept pace with ...

Tucson, Ariz.&#8212 Apex Microtechnology is answering the growing demand for power analog ICs that deliver on precision power, performance and value by breaking new ground in high speed, high voltage ...

A comparator is a great circuit because it provides a near ideal transition between the analog and digital domains. The comparator looks at two linear input signals and gives a digital output that’s ...

The TS12011 and TS12012 are 1.2μ W op amp, comparator and voltage reference in one IC. Providing 10x reduction in power consumption and operation to 0.65V delivers always on, single cell operation.

Switching regulators have delivered such convenience and efficiency compared to their linear siblings, that it’s now becoming rare to see an old-style three-terminal regulator. Modern designs have ...

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 ...

Maybe you are familiar with the op-amp as an extremely versatile component, and you know how to quickly construct a huge variety of circuits with one. Maybe you even have a favorite op-amp or two for ...
