Op Amp Precision Positive & Negative Clipper using LT6015/LT6016/LT6017

Tom Mosteller - Field Applications Engineer
Aaron Schultz - Applications Manager Signal Conditioning Oct 3rd 2016
It can be a challenge to match the voltage range of an analog signal to the input range of an analog to digital converter (ADC). Exceeding the ADC’s input range will give an incorrect reading, and if the input goes far enough beyond the power supply rails substrate currents can flow into the ADC which can cause latch up ...

Low Power, Precision Op Amp Simplifies Driving of MUXed ADCs

Guy Hoover - Applications Engineer Oct 2nd 2015
Design Note 1034: Introduction The high speed op amps required to buffer a modern 16‑/18-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) typically dissipate as much power as the ADC itself, often with a maximum offset spec of about 1mV, well beyond that of the ADC. If multiple multichannel ADCs are required, the power dissipation can ...

Robust High Voltage Over-The-Top Op Amps Maintain High Input Impedance with Inputs Driven Apart or When Powered Down

Glen Brisebois - Applications Engineer - Signal Conditioning Nov 5th 2014
Introduction Linear Technology’s Over-The-Top op amps have an input stage topology that allows them to operate closed loop well above the positive supply rail. The inputs remain high impedance when split apart in voltage and also when shut down or with complete loss of power supply. They are indispensable in robust ...

LTspice: Stability of Op Amp Circuits

Kris Lokere - Strategic Applications Manager Nov 6th 2013
  We all know that feedback circuits can oscillate. We may even know some tricks of how to fix it. But wouldn’t it be nice if our simulation tool could show us exactly what is happening, and why? This video illustrates how to use the .AC analysis to look at open loop gain and phase of operational amplifier ...

76V Over-the-Top® Input Op Amp Combines Precision, Versatility and Protection

Arnold Nordeng - Design Section Leader - Signal Conditioning Mar 20th 2013
With the increased-use of electronics in automotive and industrial applications, the need for robust and highly reliable components is essential to ensure a proper functioning system with low maintenance costs. Automotive applications, for example have hostile environments where electronic components may be exposed to a variety ...
