  • Low Cost Isolation Amplifier for Industrial Applications

    A Design Idea of mine that appeared in EDN around 2000.  The article appeared with the title ‘Lost Cost . . . ‘ – seems someone got a bit mixed up.  The idea has been referenced in a few papers on the web – always good to see!

  • Augmented Feedback Error Correction (AFEC)

    AFEC is a simple technique that augments the feedback of an amplifier to dramatically improve the Large Signal Non-linearity (LSN) distortion performance by up to 20 dB across the audio band. Additionally, AFEC acts to remove any DC offsets and also improve PSRR significantly. Augmenting the feedback in a manner similar to that described in…

  • The Monolithic Op-Amp: A Tutorial Study

    This was an invited paper at the ISSCC in 1974 by James Solomon, who at the time worked for National Semiconductor (acquired in 2011 by TI). Those were heady days in semiconductors, with major process and circuit design breakthroughs taking place at breakneck speed. The general purpose microprocessors’  pivotal role in powering the Apple II…
