Figure 1. Use the circuit in (a) to measure input bias current on the op amp’s noninverting input. Adding a loop amplifier in (b) keeps the op-amp stable for measurements on the inverting input. The ...

Let’s say that for a project you are working on, you need an op amp (of course, I would like it to be one of one of Touchstone’s op amps), and you want to make sure that the amplifier meets your ...

Fig 1. This modified Wien-Bridge oscillator has three output states—high, low, and oscillation—that depend on the input voltage. It drives a bi-color LED to provide a visual indication of the input’s ...

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 ...

In the world of audiophilia there are arguments that rage over the relative merits of particular components. Sometimes this can reach silly levels as in the high-end ALPS pot we once saw chosen as a ...
