For These Amplifiers, Lower Is Better

摘要

As design techniques and process technologies improve, many IC products focus on the big numbers - more bandwidth, more resolution, more output power, more throughput, more FLOPS. The list goes on. But for precision op amps, the critical factors get smaller as they get better - low supply current, low voltage operation, low offset voltage, low noise, low input bias current, etc. These are the factors that small signal designers concern themselves with the most. The latest amplifiers use innovative designs and processes that deliver performance that continues to exceed users' expectations.
