Paul Pickering has over 35 years of engineering and marketing experience, including stints in automotive electronics, precision analog, power semiconductors, flight simulation and robotics.

Simulation tools like SPICE have long been indispensable for visualizing and optimizing circuit behavior. However, a glaring irony emerges when it comes to simulating op-amps in application circuits.

Electrical engineers designing analog electronics commonly have to drive a capacitive load with an operational amplifier that cannot quite handle the required capacitance. Common approaches to ...

In this series, I’ll provide a complete simulation test bench for operational amplifiers (op amps), covering every key op amp specification, how they impact application performance and the approach ...

Given the role of electronics in engineering and technology, laboratory experiments and circuit simulation IT tools are used in their teaching in several academic institutions. This paper discusses ...

This very sturdy-looking circuit provides an easy way to configure the op-amp for testing in inverting, non-inverting, and transimpedance mode, selecting from a range of feedback resistors, and ...
