Guide to Operational Amplifiers and Their Circuits

Guide to Operational Amplifiers and Their Circuits

This book has been written to provide an introduction to the basics of operational amplifiers and a selection of useful easy circuits for anyone involved in using and designing operational amplifier circuits.<br />The book is aimed at providing an easy to use reference rather than a work with full and rigorous mathematical proofs. The book contains chapters on basic operational amplifier theory, amplifier circuit configurations; filter circuits (low-pass, high-pass and band-pass as well as notch filters); multivibrator and oscillator circuits; comparators and triggers; and differentiator and integrator circuits. In addition to the circuits with explanations and all the relevant design equations, many practical notes and precautions are also included to help anyone using them to avoid the main pitfalls.<br />There is a wealth of information in this book enabling anyone using operational amplifiers or designing circuits using them to very quickly get up to speed with their use.
