A few months ago, I wrote a Signal Chain Basics article titled “3 considerations when selecting an op amp.” While that article is very useful for selecting operational amplifiers (op amps) for new ...

At CES 2016, Bryston introduced its new Cubed Series lineup of solid state power amplifiers, replacing the award-winning Squared Series (SST 2) that made its debut at the 2009 CES. The Cubed series is ...

Using a second-generation eXtra Fast Complementary Bipolar (XFCB) process, the AD8021 amplifier provides a noise figure of 2.1 nV/ÃHz and 2.1 pA/ÃHz. designed for 16-bit systems, distortion ...

Power amplifiers (PAs) are pivotal elements in modern wireless communication and radar systems, where enhancing output power and efficiency remains a critical challenge. Recent advances in PA design ...

Variable Gain Amplifiers (VGAs) implemented in Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology have emerged as a critical component in modern analog and mixed-signal systems. These ...

Until now, very high-speed Operational Amplifiers (OP AMPS) have offered a top bandwidth of about a gigahertz. The addition of silicon germanium (SiGe) to a high-speed bipolar-CMOS process results in ...

If you’ve ever glanced at the specifications sheet for an amplifier, one of the things you may have noticed is the amplifier’s class. Typically denoted by a letter or two, the most common amplifier ...
