Op amp increases potentiometer’s resolution 06/05/00 EDN-Design Ideas  key parameter of digitally controlled potentiometers (DCPs] is the number of taps (n] programmable positions of the wiper.  This parameter establishes the resolution in programmable-voltage and -current applications. A number of circuit....PDF has many circuits, scroll to this one....[Chuck Wojslaw, Xicor Inc, Milpitas, CA, and P Gareth Lloyd, Elab Ltd, Stoke-on-Trent, UK] EDN migrating links. This link is not verified.  Google the "title" EDN for new link.
Op Amp Input Voff & Ibias -  ....(spice design added 02/09)
Op Amp Limiter -  ....(spice design added 02/09)
Op amp linearizes attenuator control response -  25-Jul-02 Issue of EDN  Professional-audio equipment commonly uses Analog Devices' (www.analog.com] high-performance, quad-voltage-controlled SSM2164 attenuator. The control response is -30 dB/V, with 0V producing unity gain. Attenuation increases as the applied control voltage increases in the positive direction. The circuit in Figure 1 extends the range of applications for this versatile chip by providing a simple.... [Design Idea by Mike Irwin, Shawville, PQ, Canada]
Op amp linearizes response of FET VCA -  5-Sep-02 Issue of EDN  Fets find common use in VCAs (voltage-controlled amplifiers] and attenuators, in which the FET serves as a variable resistance. A control voltage applied to the gate sets the channel resistance and overall circuit gain. You frequently need to select individual FETs because of wide spreads in FET characteristics.... [Design Idea by Mike Irwin, Shawville, PQ, Canada]
Op Amp Macro-Models -  ....(spice design added 02/09)
Op Amp Output Impedance Apex-AN10 -  Apex App Note (added 08/08/08)
Op Amp PID Controller -  We've all heard about the wonders of the PID controller, bringing a system's output, temperature, velocity, light, to its desired set point quickly and accurately. But now, your boss says okay, design one for us. Although there's a number of ways to do it, the circuit above nicely separates the three terms....(spice design added 02/09)
Op Amp Provides On-The-Fly Adjustable Current Limit -  DN298  Design Notes (Linear Technology) (app note added 1/06)
Op Amp Radio -  Here is a simple radio that is easy to build and inexpensive. In fact, you probobly have all the parts you need in your junk box. You'll be suprised at the great reception with this little set. The antenna can be a piece of wire or a telescoping antenna....(electronic circuit added 7/03)
Op Amps Make JFET Circuits Repeatable -  05/24/01 EDN-Design Ideas  Because they use practically no bias current (a useful feature in itself), JFETs also have practically no current noise.  This feature means that you can use JFETs in very-high-resistance circuits and obtain good noise…PDF has many circuits, scroll for this one.... [Design Idea by Glen Brisebois, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA]
Op-amp Astable Timer -  An astable timing circuit made from the ubiquitous 741 op-amp. [Andy Collison]
Opamp Based Power Amplifier -  This is a contributed project, and has some interest as a learning exercise  (circuit added 6/07)
Opamp Basics -  The op-amp is basically a differential amplifier having a large voltage gain, very high input impedance and low output impedance. The op-amp has a "inverting" or (-) input and "noninverting" or (+) input and a single output. The op-amp is usually powered by a dual polarity power supply in the range of +/- 5 volts to +/- 15 volts. A simple dual polarity power.... (circuit added 7/02)
