Before going into op amp compensation it is important to shed some light on two most basic configurations in the op amp; the non-inverting (Fig. 1.A) and the inverting (Fig 1.B). There is plenty of ...

Did you ever wonder how to calculate the stability of an op amp circuit? Put the wrong compensation network into the feedback loop, and you’re got an attenuator or, worse, an oscillator. It’s not ...

The very basics of operational amplifiers. Learn comparator, inverting, and non-inverting op-amp configurations. An operational amplifier, or op amp, is a dc-coupled high-gain electronic voltage ...

Andy recommends favorite resources for basic op amp circuits and includes a portion of TI's AN-20. Test your knowledge with ...

Op-amps were an invaluable basic technology in 1969. What today’s op-amps can accomplish has expanded dramatically. At present an op-amp is defined as a general-purpose, DC-coupled, high-gain, ...

Op-amp rail splitter The basic approach is to divide a rail in two using a resistor divider and buffer it with an op-amp configured for non-inverting unity gain.
