Many high-speed op amps have on-chip input protection. Typically transparent to the user, it can sometimes be a circuit’s Achilles’ heel. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of input protection, and presents circuit solutions using amplifiers with input protection. Open a Dialogue Question the authors.

Voltage regulators provide stable outputs independent of line voltage, load impedance, temperature, and time. Low-dropout regulators (LDOs) can maintain regulation with a small difference between supply voltage and load voltage. This article introduces basic topologies of LDOs, and provides tips for ensuring stable operation. It also discusses ADI's LDOs, which offer a flexible approach to maintaining dc- and dynamic stability. Open a Dialogue Question the authors. Share information with your colleagues.
