DAC & OpAmp Provide Variable Control Voltage - 12/06/01 EDN-Design Ideas: Early
DACs contained standard R-2R ladder networks, and produced a negative output voltage.
These early DACs, such as the MAX7837/7847 and the MAX523, require both positive and
negative supply rails to accommodate their negative output. With the transition to
single-supply ICs, however, many modern DACs operate with a single supply rail and an
inverted R-2R ladder network.....(design idea added 12/04)
Fast Rail-to-Rail Operational Amplifiers Ease Design Constraints in Low Voltage High
Speed Systems - AN-417 Analog Devices Application Notes (app note added
6/06) Movement towards lower power supply voltages is driven by the demand that
systems consume less and less power coupled with the desire to reduce the number of
power supply voltages in the system. The following applications are discussed:
Single-Ended and Differential Input ADC Input Circuits, Video Line Driver, ....
Ignore Input Range Limits in Wideband OpAmp - 07/16/98 EDN-Design Ideas: The
circuit in Figure 1 defies no laws of physics; it just makes creative use of an
isolated dc/dc converter. The application uses isolated converter in a
nonisolated configuration to boost a 48V battery voltage to 60V. The PT3102 is a 15W
isolated dc/dc converter that normally uses a 36 to 75V (48V-nominal)input voltage to
provide.....(design idea added 07/02)
Instrumentation Amp Swings Rail to Rail - 03/03/94 EDN-Design Ideas: You can
combine an instrumentation amplifier and an inexpensive CMOS op amp to get the better
of two worlds: the precision of a bipolar instrumentation amp and the5V single-supply
operation of the CMOS op amp. The characteristics of such a circuit.....(design idea

Keep the Heat Down in Power OpAmps - 02/15/00 EDN-Design Ideas: (design idea added
11/05) When you include a power op amp, such as PA05 from Apex Microtechnology, in
your design, it is desirable to minimize the supply-to-output differential to a
minimum to reduce power dissipation and to fully exploit the amplifier's output range.
Our goal was to design a power amplifier to yield 70V p-p output at....
