Begin by wiring up a 741 in open-loop mode as you did in a previous lab (Fig. 9.1(a)). With no negative feedback, the saturated output that results allows the op amp to be used as a voltage comparator ...

particularly if you want to use the circuit as a comparator as we are here. Other practical problems arise because the op amp isn’t really perfect. A real op amp would not hit the 15V rail exactly.

In order to help his friend prepare for a talk at DEFCON this weekend, [Craig] built an IR photodiode amplifier circuit ... op-amp out of saturation when he’s following it with a comparator ...

Amplifier and comparator chips are board-level components for amplifying voltage, current, or power. There are several basic types of amplifier and comparator chips. Differential amplifier chips are ...

Use your capacitor (along with an op amp ... your circuit, to obtain a maximum change in output level when your capacitor is pressed. If possible, try to get at least a 1.5x to 2x level change. 4.

Tremolo – a cyclical change in amplitude manifesting as a rhythmic pulsing – debuted in a Fender amp, the Tremolux ... need ...

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has decided that ATF's Final Rule determining that most pistols with stabilizing braces are short-barreled rifles is arbitrary and capricious.

The fuse breaks the circuit if a fault in an appliance causes too much current to flow. This protects the wiring and the appliance if something goes wrong. The fuse contains a piece of wire that ...

When Trump entered the White House there were 17 appeals court vacancies, as well as an unfilled Supreme Court seat, while only two circuit seats were open when Biden became president.

The resistor RL inserted between the comparator output and the LED is used to limit the current through the LED. You can try several resistors to adjust the intensity to your liking. The LED conducts ...
