Understanding the Gain-Bandwidth Product of Op-Amps
from The Hifi Podcast with Darren and Duncan · host Darren Myers, Duncan Taylor
Welcome back! In this episode, Darren, designer of an amplifier that TAS just named "2021 Product of the Year (huzzah!)," takes us patiently and steadily through a basic concept involving operational amplifiers, or amps-on-a-chip, explaining how feedback is heavily used in many modern op-amps to broaden what, in some cases, is a staggeringly low bandwidth to begin with. Don't worry - if Duncan can understand this by the end of the show, so can you. Don't miss more questions and a surprising yet completely amazing album recommendation to round out the show.
