“Oscilloscope manufacturers have got a choice: develop a discrete JFET input stage and risk limited performance, or develop their own asic,” TI general manager of linear amplifiers John Caldwell told ...

The advent of inexpensive standardized 16- and 24-bit audio I/O hardware for personal computers inspired a rush of oscilloscope simulating applications. Many of these “Sound Card Scopes” are quite ...

There are several aspects of audio converter design that are generally not well understood but have a dramatic impact on performance, both measurable and audible. Audio converter IC manufacturers ...

Buffer amplifiers have unity gain. They are used to match impedances between two devices, or as isolators. Buffer amplifiers carry performance specifications such as operating temperature, input ...

Buffer amplifiers are electronic devices designed to provide electrical impedance transformation from one circuit to another without significantly affecting the signal. They are typically used to ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced a high-input-impedance (Hi-Z) buffer amplifier, capable of supporting frequency bandwidths as high as 3 GHz. The wider bandwidth and high slew rates of the BUF802 ...

You can take an op amp with rare input characteristics and elevate it to achieve higher voltage range, better gain accuracy, higher slew rate, and less distortion than the original op amp. I was ...
