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 ...

The input stage of an amplifier performs the critical duty of subtracting the feedback signal from the input, to generate the error signal that drives the output. It ...

This paper presents a digital design flow in order to design high performance differential Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) circuits efficiently. The proposed flow is similar to the ordinary digital CMOS ...

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 ...
