TI’s op amp specs are generally better than or equal to nearly all of the legacy part specs.  Whether your focus is on personal electronics, industrial or medical, every engineer interested in learning how to combat the problem of why our higher performance, lower cost op amps sometimes don’t work in legacy sockets should view this training. Learn from a training structured “definition by example”, based on real world cases to de-mystify these “TI doesn’t work in my legacy socket” occurrences.

Fourth part of the session explains representation of Voltage or Current waveforms in Time and frequency domain and also looks at the customer use case for application of Time or frequency domain Analysis. The session also explains different sampling approaches like Simultaneous sampling, Coherent sampling, Oversampling to improve system performance, criteria for ADC selection and choice between SAR and Delta-Sigma ADCs. There is a list of TI products that can be considered during the design of the AIM and finally provides overview for Focus ADCs for this session.

Did you know when calculating op amp bandwith you should always use the non-inverting gain?  Do you know why bandwidth impacts Iq?

In addition to answering those questions, we will show you nearly everything you ever wanted to know about op amp bandwidth including:

Oops, what's that smell:  why did the "smoke test" fail?

This series covers the causes of electrical overstress and introduces several methods that can be used to improve and test circuit robustness against electrical overstress.  All of the examples in this series show op-amp circuits, but the methods used could be applied to other components as well.

ZAP! Is your circuit protected against the thousands of volts which could be on your finger tips?

This series explains how electrostatic discharge, or ESD, can damage semiconductor components and what kind of internal protection circuitry is present in these devices.

Have you ever experienced unexpected signal output behavior of an op amp, such as clipping or other non-linear behavior?

The cause of this may be either input common mode voltage limitations or output voltage swing restrictions.  Understanding data sheet specifications in the context of real world circuits will help you avoid experiencing this problem.  An inside look at an op amp's input and output stages on different process technologies provides additional insight.

How well do you know the major contributors to DC op amp input errors?

Did you know that a standard resistor component sitting upon your desk doing "nothing" is actually generating noise?

How hot is too hot? Does my circuit need a heat sink?

This series discusses the relationship between power dissipation and temperature in op amps and shows how to calculate an amplifier's junction temperature under a variety of operating conditions using its thermal model. Absolute maximum ratings and internal thermal protection schemes are also introduced.

True or False? A large and rapid voltage change in an op amp's output is always limited by the slew rate of the device.

If you think the answer is true, or you have seen output slew behavior you could not explain, this session is for you!  We will provide an explanation of large and small signal analysis, slew boost, slew rate over temperature, slew rate vs. full power bandwidth, and the relationship of Vos and slew rate.  In addition, an inside the op amp view of the cause of slew rate limit is presented.
