And while it doesn’t make much sense to roll your own op-amp out of discrete components, that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to be learned from doing just that. While we’re more ...

[Mitsuru Yamada]’s homemade op-amp using discrete components is thus a project of interest, implementing as it does a complete simple op-amp with five transistors. Looking at the circuit diagram ...

That’s why thousands of discrete op amps, comparators, and similar components are available from dozens of sources. But the push for smaller ICs is inescapable, even for these analog components.

Modifying the circuit board or power supply is something else altogether. I was introduced to SparkoS Labs several years ago because they design and manufacture discrete op-amps and power regulation ...

Developed by Microchip Technology, this “self-correcting” component features low initial offset voltage and drift, very low noise, and integral electromagnetic-interference filtering.

The alternative to power op amps in most applications is to build comparable circuits with discrete power transistors. The discrete approach has often been less expensive in applications that do ...

Although monolithic instrumentation amplifiers are more cost-effective than their discrete and modular predecessors ... by deriving the differential response of an instrumentation amplifier from a ...

It was usually accomplished by starting with a standard op amp in the 15-to-24-V range, then boosting its output with discrete transistors. This could look simple in principle with complementary PNP ...

The DSM is loaded with API 2520 discrete op amp modules and the API 7600 discrete four-buss channel strip that combines an API 212L microphone pre-amp, 550A equalizer, 225L compressor, four buss ...

the EF1000DAC includes several updates to the original EF1000 amplifier. The new model is the first to feature HIFIMAN’s ultra-precise Discrete Op-amp at the input stage, which functions at ...

Originally developed to support analogue computers, the op amp has an elegantly simple core design. Discover more brands like New Electronics Engineering publications brought to you by Mark Allen ...
