TI Precision Labs (TIPL) is the most comprehensive online classroom for analog signal chain designers. From foundational knowledge to advanced concepts, our logical, sequenced and comprehensive teaching approach is both intuitive and practical. The training series, which includes videos and downloadable reference materials, will deepen the technical expertise of experienced engineers and accelerate the development of those early in their career.

TI Precision Labs (TIPL) is the most comprehensive online classroom for analog signal chain engineers. The on-demand courses and tutorials include introductory ideas about device architecture, in addition to advanced, application-specific problem-solving, using both theory and practical knowledge. 

The Amplifiers series is segmented into three categories for operational amplifiers (op-amps), comparators and current sense amplifiers. Each section contains short training videos, multiple choice quizzes, and short answer exercises.

My application circuit doesn't work! What should I do now?

This video series gives recommendations for best practice application debugging techniques. Various engineering checks are outlined to help determine the root cause of an issue.

What is a current-feedback amplifier, and when is it the best choice for your system design?

In this two-part series, you will learn the main advantages of current-feedback amplifiers, namely:

While it may look just like an op amp, the comparator's function is quite different. Do you know the fundamentals of comparator applications?

This video series covers the functionality of the analog comparator and its key dc and ac specifications, how to apply hysteresis to protect against comparator input noise, and the pros and cons of using op amps as comparators.

Section 1 of this training series focuses on the basics of current measurement with current sense amplifiers

Section 2 of this training series focuses on the understanding the error sources associated with current measurement and the best methods for minimizing these errors.

Section 3 of this training series introduces three advanced topics related to current measurement with current sense amplifiers.
