Insert an isolation resistor between the op-amp output and the rest of the circuit (Figure 6). The value of resistor is easily calculated from two data points on the output impedance trace.

You think of op amps as amplifiers because, no kidding, it is right in the name. But just like some people say, “you could do that with a 555,” [Doctor Volt] might say, “you can d… ...

This circuit is an especially simple op-amp application, and is a typical one for a sensor interface where a DC voltage needs to be brought into range of a microcontroller.

The factors which affect the driving capability of an op amp are: Op amp internal architecture Closed loop gain and output capacitor loading This article, with the help of two design examples, ...

Vishay Intertechnology recently announced the release of its latest isolation amplifiers, the VIA0050DD, VIA0250DD, and VIA2000SD. These new devices offer enhanced performance for a wide range of ...

Successful high-speed circuit designs need the right combination of grounding, power-supply bypassing, and decoupling. Modern op amps have much higher operating bandwidths than their predecessors ...
