The x1 voltage amplifier or “buffer” is a standard building block of analog design. This article presents the design of a discrete, low-parts-count, high-performance, matched-transistor buffer, and ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Use of differential signaling in analog front ends is increasing across a range of applications, from audio processing to factory automation.

It used to be a rite of passage to be able to do the math necessary to design various bipolar transistor amplifier configurations. This doesn’t come up as often as it used to, but it is still a good ...

Semiconductor companies have now had fully-differential amplifiers in their product lines for a few years, though these amplifiers have been in leading-edge electronics for decades. These diff-amps ...
