The Differential OPAMP Amplifier

The Differential OPAMP Amplifier

Introduction In the previous tutorials, we talked about the inverting op-amp and non-inverting op-amp, we considered configurations that take a single input on either pin "-" or "+" of the operational amplifier, while the other pin is grounded. However, it is possible, as we will see...

Design considerations for transferring a breadboard prototype to custom PCB

In Sayanee's Basu's video, we can look at the design considerations in the process of taking a breadboard prototype to a custom PCB, from the microcontroller to the various subsystems, to the power, the bootloader, and even how to deal with faulty components. A breadboard can be...

Inverting OPAMP

Inverting OPAMP

Introduction The previous tutorial about the non-inverting operational amplifier has shown all the details of this op-amp configuration that takes the input signal on the non-inverting pin (+). This could be done by studying the ideal and real models and demonstrating all the important...

Non-inverting OPAMP

Non-inverting OPAMP

Introduction The voltage signal applied to an op-amp can either be supplied to its non-inverting input (+) or the inverting input (-). These different configurations are simply known as a non-inverting op-amp, and inverting op-amp. In this tutorial, we focus on the non-inverting...

Adjustable Constant Current LASER Diode/LED driver

Adjustable Constant Current LASER Diode/LED driver

I was testing a couple of low-cost laser diodes that come from china and I was wondering why those diodes don’t have any protection/driver circuitry. Those diodes come with a simple series resistor for current control which is not a good idea nor stable. Laser diodes are harmful and...

Operational Amplifier Basics

Operational Amplifier Basics

Introduction This tutorial is an introduction to the Operational Amplifiers, also known as op-amps. The fundamental goal of op-amps is to amplify a voltage difference and it is the reason why we also describe them as differential amplifiers. Op-amps have been invented the exact same...
