element14 launches op amp design challenge
element14, a design community run by global distributor Avnet, has launched an analog design challenge around operational amplifiers (op amps).
The Op-Amp-a-Palooza challenge is an open-ended exploration of op-amps using low-cost components. Members of the element14 design community can submit an operational amplifier proposal to win the chance to receive an operational amplifier (op-amp) kit provided by Renesas, Microchip, and Maxim for sharing their project proposals.
“We love the versatility of op-amps,” said Dianne Kibbey, Global Head of Community and Social Media for the element14 Community. “The possibilities are endless, from building amplifiers and buffers to current measurement, audio vs. RF vs. HT, precision circuits, and more. We can’t wait to see what creative projects the members of our imaginative community dream up.”

The Op-Amp-a-Palooza challenge is open until April 25th. Participants can submit a project proposal, sharing what they could build using an op-amp bundle, including the specific steps needed to complete the project.
The grand prize winner will receive an op-amp testing kit, including an Arbitrary Waveform Generator, a bench power supply, a handheld oscilloscope, and a $200 shopping cart. In addition, three first-place winners will receive an arbitrary waveform generator, a bench power supply, a USB oscilloscope, and a $100 shopping cart. Winners will be announced on May 4th.
Recent projects developed on the community featuring op-amps include an Amplified Stereo Mic Kit, A Phonograph Preamplifier and a Smart Coin Sorter
The element14 community has over 800,000 engineer, maker and designer members.
