Use frequency-domain simulations to analyze loop gain and evaluate the stability of your amplifier circuit. Just so…

Why are negative-feedback amplifiers susceptible to oscillation? What is the fundamental criterion for stability? Let’s…

You can use negative feedback to increase your amplifier’s signal-to-noise ratio, reduce its nonlinear distortion,…

Having introduced the general negative feedback structure, we will now demonstrate that negative feedback has…

This article, the first in a series, will introduce you to the fundamental concepts required…

If we connect the output of an op-amp to its inverting input and apply a…

Schottky diodes Schottky diodes are constructed of a metal-to-N junction rather than a P-N semiconductor junction. Also known as hot-carrier diodes, Schottky diodes…

Basic AC Theory Things start to get complicated when we need to relate two or…
