How to avoid amplifier output driver saturation when using very low bias current amplifiers with high source impedance sensors, write Jon Munson and Kevin Scott When taking sensor measurements, the ...

Insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) require full protection to avoid damage and failures resulting from conditions such as short circuits, overloads and overvoltages. The protection is key to ...

Designed specifically for high-voltage sensing, a new generation of optically isolated amplifiers make monitoring and system protection circuits more accurate and easier to design. These iso-amps can ...

Once an engineer has designed the audio circuit of an amplifier, it would be nice to think that most of their task is complete. However, from a system perspective, that is far from true. At the very ...

Audio-power-amplifier ICs suit low-power applications because of their low cost, parts count, and size. Applications demanding higher output power challenge designs based on IC power amplifiers. The ...

This very subject came up recently in the Audioholics forum and I would like to expand on this subject further, but before I do I think it's important to go into the history of how this specification ...
