Circuit with resistance equal to input resistance
I want to use a digital potentiometer, however, the digital potentiometer has a power limit, which means I can't apply the voltage for my application.
I am looking for a circuit which functions as an &...

What is the upper frequency limit for an op-amp integrator?
I'm designing a circuit to process a di/dt signal. As the input is the differential of the measured current, I have to integrate the voltage to provide a representation of the current. The duration of ...

How to interpret this depiction of an op-amp circuit?
I haven't used/seen this type of op-amp depiction before, so I'm having trouble understanding it. The research paper (linked below) says that this is an AD844AN chip, but even after looking through ...

Current source circuit components
I want to make a constant current driver for a laser diode (500 mA max.) based on the circuit shown below:
Here is my version:
In my case D2 and D3 represent the laser diode. There is a NC relay and ...

Ultra-fast driver circuit for low-power LED
The goal is to drive a low power LED at a very high frequency, with pulses of ~10-100ns width in order to produce a very narrow burst of light. The pulses do not need to be closely packed together, ...

Nodal Analysis of an Inverting Operational Amplifier
I am trying to derive the closed-loop gain of a basic Inverting Op-Amp circuit using nodal analysis and the model that includes its non-ideal parameters. The equation I derived is incorrect, and it's ...

Complete Noise Analysis: to find the minimum detectable signal of a TIA
Problem Statement:
my aim is to digitalize a 10ns narrow pulse coming from a photo diode with current ranging from 10nA-70mA, as its impossible to cover this dynamic range of >60dB using a single TIA ...

Deriving PI controller transfer function when input is reversed
I'm developing the compensator for the linear DC Bench Power Supply I'm
designing.
As I've come to deriving the transfer function for the op amp-based
compensator, I realize I've been depending on a ...

100kHz active filter design
I am designing a basic 100kHz active bandpass filter using opamps (LF353). I am only interested in receiving the 100kHz frequency (might drift a few kHz) from my input signal. I have used a basic ...

Output voltage not stable - What is compensation with respect to DC-DC (buck converter)?
EDITS:
Input voltage range: 24V to 48V.
Changing the load current from 0.38A to 1.018A increases the mean output voltage from 12.779V to 13.26V. The supply should be producing 12.5V.
I'm using this ...

Whats the relation between RC time constant and the GBWP of an opamp?
If I'm not wrong, an opamp circuit's feedback resistor and capacitor dictates the response time of it. So in case we have the control over Rf and Cf we can set the response time.
But in that case, ...
