Even the simple circuit of Figure 1 seems to be suffering from a low phase margin condition as described in Reference 1 with a sharp resonance at 165MHz. It is important, even in lower speed signal ...

Carissa Sipp, Systems Engineer, brings us this session. Fully differential amplifiers (FDAs) are versatile tools to use in a signal chain, and they offer a variety of benefits. Fully differential ...

We believe that changes will force amplifier manufacturers to make a greater variety of products having characteristics tailored to the specific application. We've already seen that as voltages drop, ...

Many industrial and medical applications use instrumentation amplifiers (INA) to condition small signals in the presence of large common-mode voltages and DC potentials. The three op amp INA ...

Current differencing transconductance amplifiers (CDTAs) provide a versatile platform for signal processing in contemporary integrated circuits. By converting differential input currents into ...

Phase sensitive or lock-in amplifiers can extract low level signals in the presence of relatively high noise and, recently, there has been growing interest in their use in portable or embedded ...
