notes that are posted in TI's web site and articles in TI's

Analog Application Journal.

Designing analog applications and writing Design tools to allow

other designers to generate practical designs. An example

powerful tool is called FilterPro for Windows. It allows the

analog designer to generate an active low-pass or high-pass

filter design of up to 10 poles or a band-pass or notch filter

design of up to 5 poles. Another example is a utility for

designing a single ended to fully-differential circuit with

input termination called Fully Differential Op Amp Gain

Calculator.
