Dear Friends,

Driving piezo actuators looks straightforward until the op-amp starts fighting a highly capacitive load. This webinar takes a practical look at stability, protection and mitigation techniques, helping designers avoid the usual pitfalls when precision control meets demanding drive conditions.

Free Webinar with Apex Microtechnology:

Driving Piezoelectric Actuators with Power Operational Amplifiers

When integrating op-amps into piezo applications, engineers are often faced with various challenges. Apex Microtechnology is offering a free webinar to share techniques to mitigate design challenges with piezoelectric actuators.

What you will learn:

• What issues are caused by loading an op-amp with a piezoelectric device
• Several ways to mitigate design challenges with piezoelectric actuators
• Which counter-measures to take to protect the driving amplifier

After the presentation, there will be a live Q&A session for the audience, and a recording of the webinar will be provided for you to revisit.
