Digital Buffer The digital buffers are used in digital circuits for the amplification of digital signals in order to drive high current loads. Besides current amplification, the digital buffers provide isolation between input and output circuits where output is connected to some high-power load such as a relay, lamp or solenoid, etc. The digital device […]

Texas Instruments’ buffer features stuck bus recovery Texas Instruments’ TCA4307 is a hot-swappable I2C bus buffer that supports I/O card insertion into a live backplane without corruption of the data and clock lines. Control circuitry prevents the backplane-side I2C lines (in) from being connected to the card-side I2C lines (out) until a stop command or […]

Introduction In the introduction tutorial Operational Amplifier Basics, we have briefly seen that from the same op-amp, many configurations leading to different functions can be adopted, depending on how the feedback loop is designed. In this new tutorial, we propose to detail the most common configurations along with their function. We chose to group the […]
