Former EDN analog editor Bill Schweber has published a good article from Tamara Schmitz and Jian Wong about developing Spice macromodels for voltage-feedback op-amps. Part 1 (pdf), and part 2 (pdf).
Spice users can run into two types of problems with op-amp models: They need a model that is unavailable in their Spice library, or their library model may produce inaccurate simulation results for ...
When used with other blocks and modules, a new approach to modeling operational-amplifier output impedance behavior can provide a more realistic overall behavioral model. Simulating the behavior of a ...
In the last Circuit VR we looked at some basic op amp circuits in a simulator, including the non-inverting amplifier. Sometimes you want an amplifier that inverts the signal. That is a 5V input ...
The operational amplifier, or op amp, is one of the most basic building blocks used in analog circuits. Ever since single-chip op amps were introduced in the 1960s, thousands of different types have ...
As analog engineers, it’s tempting to fantasize about one day coming close to designing the ideal operational amplifier we encountered in college: infinite bandwidth, zero output resistance, and so on ...
