Smart tool for integrated chips selection

Abstract

Today's world is the world of speed, convenience and accuracy. With the growing demand of consumer electronics and advancing technology, developers have numerous options available for selecting ICs for a particular application, which might also make finding appropriate IC a tedious task. Hence, a smart tool is developed which is software capable of searching appropriate IC based on selected performance determining parameters, such as CMRR, Slew rate, etc. Among different ICs, op amps are used for various purpose like in amplifiers, oscillators, filters, comparators, detectors and thus are one of the most widely used chips. This paper proposes a totally new method for smart selection of operational amplifiers. It describes the design of new software that could search a suitable IC depending upon the specifications entered by the user. The software is developed using C programming. The coding of the tool is being done on GNU environment-Dev C++, which can also be implemented with GUI.
