Introduction to Op Amps Operational amplifiers (commonly called op amps) are a ubiquitous building block for designing electronic circuits. Today, these devices are fabricated as small integrated ...

Did you ever wonder how to calculate the stability of an op amp circuit? Put the wrong compensation network into the feedback loop, and you’re got an attenuator or, worse, an oscillator. It’s not ...

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 res… ...

Also, the composite buffer in Figure 2 completely eliminates power-dissipation-related errors in the op-amp input.1 C9 and C10 can be replaced by adjustable shunt regulators and R3 and R4 by ...
