Appnote of the Week: Cheap Audio Amplifier

This week’s appnote comes from Winbond: a simple audio amplifier using a 2N2222 transistor to drive a small speaker.

Clicky for the linky

Appnote of the Week: TI’s guide to Opamps and Comparators

A neat application note from TI, which they no longer seem to host on their site:

Op Amp and Comparators – Don’t Confuse Them!

Interesting stuff, with notes on how to properly terminate unused opamps.
