The hybrid IC is not extinct. Hybrids can be tuned to give superior specifications, especially in drift over temperature and noise that cannot be reached with a high volume monolithic device. Apex ...

Andy recommends favorite resources for basic op amp circuits and includes a portion of TI's AN-20. Test your knowledge with our op amp quiz; answer explanations are included. By 1969, a fledgling ...

To sense animals moving I wanted to create a simple IR sensor that would trigger a monostable to generate a rather long pulse when an animal passed by. Further, while the animal remained in front of ...

An optimal way to determine an op amp's input capacitance. Steps involved in making the input-capacitance measurement. 1. With a series resistor at the op-amp input, the input capacitance of the op ...

When something is described as “Low Noise”, it is by the nature of the language a relative phrase. The higest quality magnetic tape is low noise compared to its cheaper sibling for example, but still ...
