You need a TVS diode because many voltage regulators do not have the ability to sink current, nor can they respond fast ...

Despite the monolithic op amp being older than SPICE simulators, comprehensive op-amp SPICE modeling left a lot to be desired ...

The humble op-amp can be configured into so many circuit building blocks that it has become an indispensable tool for designers. It’s tempting to treat an op-amp as a triangular black box in a ...

Are your jellybeans getting stale? [lcamtuf] thinks so, and his guide to choosing op-amps makes a good case for rethinking what parts you should keep in stock. For readers of a certain vintage ...

Design engineers aiming to protect the input and output of op amps have several options. They can use an electrostatic discharge (ESD) diode or input current-limiting resistor alongside a transient ...
