Op Amps for Everyone

Op Amps for Everyone

<p><i>Op Amps for Everyone</i> is an indispensable guide and reference for designing circuits that are reliable, have low power consumption, and are as small and low-cost as possible. Operational amplifiers are essential in modern electronics design, and are used in medical devices, communications technology, optical networks, and sensor interfacing.</p> <p>This book is informed by the authors' years of experience, wisdom and expertise, giving engineers all the methods, techniques and tricks that they need to optimize their analog electronic designs.</p> <p><b>With this book you will learn: </b></p> <ul><li>Single op amp designs that get the most out of every amplifier </li><li>Which specifications are of most importance to your design, enabling you to narrow down the list of amplifiers to those few that are most suitable </li><li>Strategies for making simple "tweaks" to the design – changes that are often apparent once a prototype has been constructed</li><li>How to design for hostile environments – extreme temperatures, high levels of shock, vibration, and radiation – by knowing what circuit parameters are likely to degrade and how to counteract that degradation </li></ul> <p><b>New to this edition:</b></p> <ul><li>Unified design procedures for gain and offset circuits, and filter circuits</li><li>Techniques for voltage regulator design</li><li>Inclusion of design utilities for filter design, gain and offset, and voltage regulation</li><li>Analysis of manufacturer design aids </li><li>Companion website with downloadable material</li></ul><ul><li>A complete, cookbook-style guide for designing and building analog circuits </li><li>A multitude of workable designs that are ready to use, based on real-world component values from leading manufacturers using readily available components</li><li>A treasure trove of practical wisdom: strategies to tweak a design; guidelines for developing the entire signal chain; designing for hostile environments, and more</li></ul>
