Photodiode amplifier exhibits one third the output noise of conventional transimpedance amp -  26-Apr-07 Issue of EDN  Bumping the op amp's gain of a photodiode transimpedance amplifier by a factor of 10 and then dividing the output of a transistor gain stage by a factor of 10 achieves lower output noise.... [Design Idea by Glen Brisebois, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA]
Piecewise Linear Amplifier Eschews Diodes -  10/12/95 EDN-Design Ideas  A common implementation of a piecewise linear amplifier uses diodes in the feedback loop of an op amp. As the diodes become forward-biased, they effectively switch in resistors that alter the closed-loop gain of the amplifier.  This implementation has two disadvantages. First, the diodes' shunt capacitance leads to poor high-frequency performance. Second,.... [Design Idea by Brian Harrington, Analog Devices, Wilmington, MA]
Portable Mixer for Nagra Recorder  -  (diagram added 6/03)
Potentiometer Autonulls OpAmp -  10/22/98 EDN-Design Ideas  Op-amp applications that need the highest possible dc accuracy are generally best served by CMOS chopper-stabilized amplifiers, such as the LTC1050. But high-speed, low-noise applications may require high-performance rockets, such as the 700-MHz LT1226. So what to do....

Power Amplifier has Transient Rail to Rail Swing -  09/29/94 EDN-Design Ideas  Has transient rail-to-rail swing special common-drain MOSFET-based power op amp circuit....[Design Idea added 6/06] EDN migrating links. This link is not verified.  Google the "title" EDN for new link.
Precision level shifter has excellent CMRR -  15-Apr-04 Issue of EDN  Most designers make level shifters with op amps and 1%-tolerance discrete resistors. Discrete-resistor mismatching limits the op amp's CMMR (common-mode rejection ratio] to 40 dB, so you cannot use op amps in circuits that require high CMRR. Differential amplifiers contain precision matched internal resistors, so ICs such as the INA133 can readily achieve CMRRs of approximately 90 dB.... [Design Idea by Ronald Mancini, Texas Instruments, Bushnell, FL]
Predicting Op Amp Slew Rate Limited Response -  National Semiconductor Application Note  (app note added 2/06)
Program an op-amp gain block with a limited-adjustability, monolithic, solid-state resistor -  21-Aug-08 Issue of EDN  An op-amp gain block allows a solid-state trimming potentiometer with limited adjustability to trim over the complete input range.... [Design Idea by W Stephen Woodward, Chapel Hill, NC]
Program designs single supply OpAmp circuits -  10/26/95 EDN-Design Ideas  Mathematically, there is no difference between single- and dual-supply op-amp designs, except for the signal reference. Dual-supply designs inherently reference signals to ground. However, you must use biasing to reference signals to ground in a single-supply design, because the signals are inherently referenced to VCC/2.  This requirement for external bias schemes complicates the design procedure. The Basic program, which you can download from…. [Design Idea by Ronald Mancini and Dave Culver, Harris Semiconductor, Melbourne, FL]
Pushing Low Quiescent Power Op Amps to Greater Than 55dbm 2-Tone Intercept -  National Semiconductor Application Note  (app note added 2/06)
