Here is another tip of the hat tip of the soldering iron to one of the Planet Analog archived posts. This post gives an explanation of how op-amps work in general and how an integrator works in ...

Native SPICE elements that accurately replicate an op amp’s real-world behavior were nonexistent. A transconductance sourcing current from the rails and transitioning to a resistive state as the ...

The circuit was designed to provide a prototype of a metronome circuit utilizing the functions of CA741 operational amplifiers. Metronome – a device or apparatus used to indicate or establish the ...

As analog engineers, it’s tempting to fantasize about one day coming close to designing the ideal operational amplifier we encountered in college: infinite bandwidth, zero output resistance, and so on ...
