Everyone has a chip-of-shame: it’s the part that you know is suboptimal but you keep using it anyway because it just works well enough. Maybe it’s not what you would put into a design that you’re ...

The circuit was built based on a single integrated circuit TDA2050 to produce an amplifier with high fidelity since the IC is intended for use as Class AB. The circuit was built based on a single ...

San Jose, Calif. — Touted as the industry's smallest RF amplifier, Avago Technologies has unveiled its VMMK-2×03 amplifiers in a chip-scale package with 0402 package dimensions (1 x 0.5 x .25 mm).

Addressing a long-standing challenge in photonic integrated circuit design, researchers demonstrate that a miniature erbium-doped waveguide amplifier provides efficient and high-power optical ...

New research paper titled “Hybrid silicon photonics DBR laser based on flip-chip integration of GaSb amplifiers and µm-scale SOI waveguides” by researchers at Tampere University (Finland). “The ...

Hang around in any of the many guitar or audiophile forums or discussion boards for long enough, and eventually you’ll come across the arguments over amplifier topologies. One of the more interesting ...
