Compensating Amplifiers That Are Stable at Gain ≥ 10 to Operate at Lower Gains
This article shows how compensating an amplifier that is normally stable with a gain higher than +9 to operate with a gain as low as +2 provides higher slew rate and faster settling time than an equivalent internally compensated amplifier. The two methods presented here trade complexity for total wideband noise. The ADA4895-2 dual high-speed, low-power operational amplifier is used as an example.
Front-End Amplifier and RC Filter Design for a Precision SAR Analog-to-Digital Converter
Successive-approximation ADCs offer high resolution, excellent accuracy, and low power consumption. Once a particular precision ADC has been chosen, system designers must determine the support circuitry needed to obtain the best results. The three principal areas to consider are the front end, the voltage reference, and the digital interface. This article focuses on the front end.
Implementing an Isolated Half-Bridge Gate Driver
Many applications, ranging from isolated dc-to-dc power supplies to solar inverters, use isolated half-bridge gate drivers to control large amounts of power with high efficiency, power density, isolation voltage, and long-term reliability. This article discusses details of these design concepts to illustrate the ability of isolated half-bridge gate driver ICs to provide high performance in a small package.
Detecting and Distinguishing Cardiac Pacing Artifacts
When heart patients undergo ECG testing, the cardiologist must be able to detect the presence and effects of a pacemaker. The electrical signature of the pacing signal consists of small, narrow pulses. Buried in noise and larger cardiac signals, these artifacts can be difficult to detect. This article describes the nature of pacing artifacts and introduces a device and method for detecting them.
Versatile, Low-Power, Precision Single-Ended-to-Differential Converter
Many applications, including driving modern ADCs, transmitting signals over twisted-pair cables, and conditioning high-fidelity audio signals, require differential signaling, which achieves higher signal-to-noise ratios, increased common-mode noise immunity, and lower second-harmonic distortion. This article offers a circuit block that can convert single-ended signals to differential signals.
HART Communication Networks Are Improved by Small, Flexible, Low-Power Modem ICs
Measurement, control, and communication with instrumentation systems employing sensors and actuators is the backbone of modern manufacturing plants. Communication employing 4-mA-to-20-mA analog signals has long been in widespread use, but instrumentation has matured from those purely analog systems to today's smart systems that use the HART protocol to enable two-way digital data.
Compensating Amplifiers That Are Stable at Gain ≥ 10 to Operate at Lower Gains
By Charly El-Khoury
This article shows how compensating an amplifier—such as the ADA4895-2, which is normally stable for a gain higher than +9—to operate with a gain as low as +2 provides higher slew rate and faster settling time than an equivalent internally compensated amplifier. Two methods will be presented, and advantages and disadvantages of each circuit will be highlighted.
The ADA4895-2, a device in the same family as the ADA4896-2, ADA4897-1, and ADA4897-2, is a dual low-noise, high-speed, voltage-feedback amplifier with rail-to-rail outputs. Stable with a minimum gain of 10, it features 1.5-GHz gain-bandwidth product, 940-V/µs slew rate, 26-ns settling time to 0.1%, 2-nV/√Hz 1/f noise at 10 Hz, 1-nV/√Hz wide band noise, and
