The low-power and low-noise performance of our AEC-Q100-qualified amplifiers and comparators makes them excellent choices for automotive designs.
While there are many different sources of noise within an operational amplifier, perhaps the most mysterious and frustrating noise source is what is known as flicker noise. How does one deal with this dominating, low frequency noise? If 1/f noise is a big concern, then selecting a zero-drift amplifier is the best solution.
The use of zero-drift amplifiers continues to grow due to the superior dc precision that these devices offer. However, there is a downside to this performance – time domain limitations.
Operational amplifiers are still an integral component of most electronic systems. Given the ubiquitous nature of the op amp, let us take a step back and review the elements of an operational amplifier and why it is still so useful in today’s electronics.
This video provides a brief overview of the industry-standard term “zero-drift” as it applies to amplifiers.
