Operational amplifiers — or op amps, as you probably call them — have long been a key building block in analog circuits. It’s true even in our digital age as op amps are tapped to handle useful ...

In designs using multiple LED strings such as brake lights, daytime running lights, rear lights and other automotive lighting applications, current-balancing circuits supply equal current to all LED ...

A new family of power-efficient, rail-to-rail input/output op amps and comparators from Intersil Corp. includes the ISL28194, which features a supply current rating of 330nA typical and 450nA maximum.

KYOTO, Japan, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ROHM Co., Ltd. has announced that its ultra-compact CMOS Operational Amplifier (op amp) TLR1901GXZ achieves the industry's lowest operating circuit current ...

Power operational amplifiers (POPs) are becoming increasingly common in control circuitry. Their primary advantages over conventional amplifiers are reduced part counts, increased reliability, and ...

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 ...

Q. Why buy an expensive comparator when an op amp is just as good? A. Because it isn't. My advice to anyone tempted to use an operational amplifier (op amp) as a comparator is the same as Mr. Punch's ...
