This experimental (3) transistor class A audio power amplifier delivers 25mW into an 8Ω load, or 50mW into a 4Ω load using only a 1.5V power source. At such low voltages, there are many issues to ...

The circuit aims to produce a power amplifier with the use of an operational amplifier NE5534 at its input compared to classic designs which use differential amplifiers. NE5534 – a high performance ...

You can take an op amp with rare input characteristics and elevate it to achieve higher voltage range, better gain accuracy, higher slew rate, and less distortion than the original op amp. I was ...

Electronic circuits are typically integrated in rigid silicon wafers, but flexibility opens up a wide range of applications in a world where electronics are becoming more pervasive. Finding materials ...

I see techs in the field get the most frustrated when they have a low-voltage short they can’t seem to locate. The challenge techs face with low voltage diagnosis is a combination of poor process and ...

New technical paper titled “Bridging the Gap between Design and Simulation of Low-Voltage CMOS Circuits” from researchers at Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil. “This work proposes a truly ...

Telcom, LDMOS, automotive and many other applications require the measurement of current flow at high voltages (high-side current). Often, a circuit operating at 5 V must monitor currents at 48 V.

As noted in NFPA 70B, insulated-case and molded-case circuit breakers should be kept clean of external contamination (Comstock/Stockbyte/Thinkstock). Low-voltage ...

Low-voltage circuit breakers are predominant in virtually every electrical power system. Several years ago, Shermco Industries surveyed NETA-accredited companies for the IEEE Electrical Safety ...

The following circuit shows the AD8517 amplifier, which operates at very low voltages, as low as 1.8V. It is great for battery-powered devices and can operate at the end of discharge voltage of ...
