In 1976, Texas Instruments came out with the TL084, a four JFET op-amp IC each with similar circuitry to Fairchild’s very popular single op-amp 741. But even though the 741 has been covered in ...

[Ken] gives you a good head start, and then starts off reversing two iconic chips: the 555 timer and the LM741 op-amp. The 741 IC is dominated by an in-silicon capacitor, which really is a silly i ...

Figure 1 is based on the OP37 which has an impressive list of specs. They include a 60 MHz gain-bandwidth, making 20 kHz bandwidth compatible with gain up to 3000x = +70 dB, noise ~3 nV/Hz 1/2 which ...

The major limitation of an ordinary diode, which leads to the principle of using diodes with op-amps, is that an ordinary diode cannot rectify voltages below V r, the cut-in voltage of the diode.

IC NE/SE 555 is a highly stable device for generating accurate time delays. Commercially, this IC is available in 8-pin circular, TO-99 or 8-pin DIP, or 14-pin DIP packages. The salient features of ...
