What are some ICs for advanced analog electronics?

Hi all, I recently finished building some basic analog circuits including some Op Amps,555 timer,logic gates and flip flops,
What are some ICs for making some advanced analog circuits?

2

In respect of what?

logic gates and flip flops,

Not best known in analogue circles

AWOL:

From analog I mean not using any microcontroller

4

Do some rsearch on: Comparators, OP amps, Differential Amps, Current sources, Voltage regulators, Oscillators, Phase-locked Loops, Waveform Generators

So you don't mean analogue at all then.

I reiterate phase-locked-loops as an interesting advanced chip, so 74HC4046,
gilbert cell mixer like the NE612, things like switched capacitor filters,
nucket-brigade delay line (if you can ever find one!), state variable filter / biquad
filter chips like the nearly-unobtanium UAF42 (these days you'll just use discrete
capacitors and a quad opamp)

For reading "The Art of Electronics" suggests itself as having a lot of analog circuits of
many kinds.

For a real challenge (I keep thinking about making one of these, never get round to it),
a state-of-the-art low distortion audio oscillator as described in http://www.janascard.cz/PDF/An%20ultra%20low%20distortion%20oscillator%20with%20THD%20below%20-140%20dB.pdf

nucket-brigade delay line

I think you will find it is spelt nought. :slight_smile:

You really should research the difference between analog & digital...

From analog I mean not using any microcontroller

For more-complex digital chips that are not microcontrollers, check-out [u]PLDs[/u].

There are LOTS of special-purpose analog, digital, and mixed-signal chips. For example, you can get a "soundcard on a chip". I'm pretty sure those cheap USB soundcards are a single chip. Or, the [u]WS2812[/u] "Neopixel" chip is rather complex. Or, voltage regulators (linear or switching).

A lot of analog circuits are built-around op-amps or special-purpose amplifier chips that are essentially op-amps with special features or enhanced specs.
