It’s rare in 2023 for an instrument to be entirely analog, instead it’s more normal for a front-end to feed the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a microcontroller. Typically the front-end will do ...

We thought it was time to give the analog side of Hackaday their chance to shine, and what’s the quintessential analog IC? The op amp! Whether you’re doing tricky signal conditioning, analog ...

In the first of three parts, Andy hypothesizes that the K2-W Analog Computer Op Amp’s design has some unrevealed mad science in its input-stage design. 1. K2-W Op Amp schematic from Bob Pease’s ...

How every op amp is different and why so many unique models are available. The attributes of the Analog Devices MAX74810 dual op amp. What resources are available to support design-in using this ...

Part 1 looks at driving high-performance, high-speed ADCs, and benefits to using an input transformer in a differential inverting amplifier design Part 2 looks at adding an interstage filter between ...
