In this post, we will take a gentle dive into logarithmic amplifiers—commonly known as log amps—those quietly powerful circuits that work behind the scenes to decode exponential signals and tame wide ...

Editor’s note: Here’s an oldie but goodie. EDN editors regularly field requests for copies of articles that predate our online archive, but this Design Idea from our Feb 20, 1986, issue has generated ...

If we had to pick one part to crown as the universal component in the world of analogue electronics, it would have to be the operational amplifier. The humble op-amp can be configured into so many ...

The term instrumentation amplifier (INA) often is misused, referring to the application rather than the architecture of the device. Historically, any amplifier that was considered precision (i.e., ...

Modeling the performance of an analog device with SPICE is one of the standard techniques used by circuit designers to perform initial characterization and performance analysis before putting together ...
