The term rail-to-rail refers to the ability of an op amp to achieve an output or input that can vary over the full range of the dc supply voltages. This feature is realized with CMOS circuits.

Op-amps were an invaluable basic technology in 1969. What today’s op-amps can accomplish has expanded dramatically. At present an op-amp is defined as a general-purpose, DC-coupled, high-gain, ...

In the last Circuit VR we looked at some basic op amp circuits in a simulator, including the non-inverting amplifier. Sometimes you want an amplifier that inverts the signal. That is a 5V input ...

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 … ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance ...

Today, three test-circuit topologies are commonly used for bench and production testing of DC parameters in operational amplifiers. These three topologies are 1) the two-operational-amplifier test ...

The operational amplifier (op-amp) is a high performance gain device with essentially linear qualities.

Pop-up help screens in each module provide worked examples of typical problems and refer to the relevant pages in the Introduction to Electric Circuits, by R.C. Dorf and J.A. Svoboda. 2 ” The answer ...

The TLR377GYZ successfully balances miniaturization with high accuracy (a challenge for conventional op amps) by further evolving proprietary circuit design, process, and packaging technologies ...
