One of the most common requests I get from engineers is for a comparison of voltage-feedback op amps and current-feedback op amps. It is impossible to determine which one better suits a given ...

Apex Microtechnology has expanded its portfolio of high-voltage operational amplifiers with the PA99, an off-the-shelf, single-package 2500-V power amp that addresses the demand for high-voltage ...

My Feb. 7 column focused on ice flake machine troubleshooting. I will have more to say on that specific topic in my April 4 column. For this column, I want to take a look at amperage as it relates to ...

As analog engineers, it’s tempting to fantasize about one day coming close to designing the ideal operational amplifier we encountered in college: infinite bandwidth, zero output resistance, and so on ...

I have a fan that is labeled DC:12V 0.16A, but I am giving it 4.8V (4 rechargeable AA batteries). If I only give it 4.8 volts, will it run at 0.16A, 0.064A (proportionally less, since it's running ...

The time is upon us:The electric cars cometh. It's inexorable, so like it or lump it, it's time to figure them out. First, though, we need to understand a few terms and the basic concepts behind those ...
