Operational amplifiers (op amps) have proliferated from specialized instruments made from large tubes to tiny monolithic circuits composed of a sliver of silicon, germanium or gallium arsenide. Dozens ...

This is an excerpt from “Self on Audio,” by Douglas Self, used with permission from Newnes Publishers, a division of Elsevier. For many years I felt that the output stages of power amplifiers ...

In the last 15 years, high-speed piezo electric actuators have become less expensive to manufacture. Consequently, they find themselves as a favorite design choice for a growing number of applications ...

Many noise sources can plague high-speed radio-frequency (RF) analog signal chains, making design considerations that much more challenging. Both megahertz and sub-terahertz sampling-rate converters ...
