The TS12011 and TS12012 are 1.2μ W op amp, comparator and voltage reference in one IC. Providing 10x reduction in power consumption and operation to 0.65V delivers always on, single cell operation.

Driven by architectural, process, circuit design, and packaging improvements, this low-cost building-block device is available in a plethora of performance choices to suit any design. Ever since ...

A comparator is a great circuit because it provides a near ideal transition between the analog and digital domains. The comparator looks at two linear input signals and gives a digital output that’s ...

Santa Clara, Calif.&#8212NEC Electronics' JFET-class dual operational amplifier for integrated-circuit test applications, the &#956PC835, touts a high slew rate, high capacitive load capability (four ...

My hands-on introduction to operational amplifiers was in 1969 while in the army as a junior scientist in the Atmospheric Science Laboratory at the White Sands Proving Grounds. We had taken a ...

In 1976, Texas Instruments came out with the TL084, a four JFET op-amp IC each with similar circuitry to Fairchild’s very popular single op-amp 741. But even though the 741 has been covered in ...

When it was first introduced in 1968, Fairchild’s 741 op-amp made quite a splash. And with good reason; it packed a bunch of components into a compact package, and the applications for it were nearly ...
