The proliferation of personal computers and especially video applications has created a requirement for sending high speed analog signals over twisted pair for short distances (up to 200 feet).

Bob Pease holding court at the Analog Seminar in 2003. When I was doing the National Semiconductor Analog Seminar with Bob Pease back in 2003 (Fig. 1), I gave a talk about rail-to-rail amplifiers. I ...

In an earlier blog (Comparing Op-Amp & Video Amp Topologies, Part 1), we examined the bandwidth and phase requirements for processing video. In the most recent blog, we looked at the AC and DC ...

As analog engineers, it’s tempting to fantasize about one day coming close to designing the ideal operational amplifier we encountered in college: infinite bandwidth, zero output resistance, and so on ...

In analog layout design, precise layout matching techniques are crucial to ensure the accuracy and performance of the circuit so that transistors exhibit similar electrical properties (i.e.
