- Asymmetric Output Into Capacitor Load Turns Capacitor Into Ideal DiodeComparators are great at turning little signals into large digital outputs. In the example described here, a friend wanted to detect the presence of a small 60-Hz AC signal centered on 2.5 V DC. When the AC is absent (beneath the specified threshold), the...20-04-2022
- Current-Feedback Op Amps Save Power In Photodiode AppsCurrent-feedback amplifiers offer high bandwidth with minimal power-supply current draw. However, they're rarely used as transimpedance amplifiers in photodiode applications due to the high current noise of their inverting inputs. The Figure 1 shows how to take...08-04-2022
- Amplifiers perform precision divide-by-2 circuitThe classic implementation of a voltage-halving circuit uses two equal-value resistors. Using 1% resistors provides a divider output with 2% accuracy. For most applications, this performance is cost-effective and more than adequate. However, when you need extreme precision, this...17-11-2021
