OP-AMPS AND LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS, 4th Edition

Op-Amps And Linear Integrated Circuits explains the basic principles of operational amplifiers and linear circuits. An operational amplifier produces an output that is hundreds of thousands of times higher than the voltage difference between its input terminals.

Operational amplifiers were originally designed for enabling mathematical operations in analog computers. Today, operational amplifiers are among the most widely used electronic devices, in consumer, scientific, and industrial applications.

This book begins with an introduction to operational amplifiers, then goes on to cover interpretation of data sheets and characteristics of an Op-Amp. The book then looks at an Op-Amp with negative feedback, and the practical Op-Amp.

Then, the author discusses frequency responses of an Op-Amp, general linear applications, active filters and operators, and comparators and converters. The next section covers specialized IC applications and selected IC system projects.

The book has five appendix sections. These sections are Resistance Chart, Capacitance Chart, Important Derivations, Data Sheets, and Answers to Selected Problems. The book contains a bibliography and an index at the end.

This is the fourth edition of this book. Retaining the major enhancements made in the third edition, this edition provides a balanced coverage of many different types of operational amplifiers and linear integrated circuits.
