How do you sort through this overwhelming number of devices? One way is to start by selecting the optimal process technology. Most manufacturers clearly label an op amp as CMOS, bipolar, or even ...

With 12-in. silicon wafers now in production, achieving precision performance across tens of thousands of amplifiers requires fast and accurate tuning to keep cost low.

Milpitas, C.A. —Linear Technology Corporation announces a new class of CMOS amplifiers with voltage noise comparable to bipolar amplifiers. Generally known for their low input bias current, CMOS ...

This diagram shows the standard layout of transistors in cell phone power amplifiers, at left, and a new highly efficient amplifier design, at right. The new design could help make possible ...

Nujira has been demonstrating how its envelope-tracking (ET) technology could make it practical to use CMOS power amplifiers (PAs) in the RF circuits of 4G smartphones. According to Jeremy Hendy, v-p ...

Members can download the PDF ebook. When I present seminars, I often ask the members of the audience to hold up their hands if they think bipolar op amps have better gain and linearity than CMOS. I ...
