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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
