Operational Amplifiers Integrated and Hybrid Circuits

This book provides an explanation of essential operational amplifier (Op Amp) parameters for practicing technicians, technologists, engineers, and beginners in the electronics industry. It places considerable emphasis on Op Amp specifications published by manufacturers and compares various types of Op Amps with each other and against ideal specifications. This gives the reader a basis on which to judge the quality of a given Op Amp type and to predict its performance in a specific application.Op Amp performance in inverting, noninverting, and instrumentation amplifiersCommon-mode rejection ratio and common-mode noiseSmall and large signal considerationsTailored response Op AmpsSumming and averaging circuitsIntegrators and differentiatorsOp Amps in voltage regulatorsActive filtersBasic and window comparatorsDigital-to-analog convertersPower Op AmpsHeat sinking of power Op AmpsIllustrated with nearly 200 figures and tables, this book also provides many example problems to demonstrate the practicality of the equations and concepts being discussed. Not only is this the ultimate textbook on the subject of Op Amps, but it is also designed for easy reference, making it a valuable bench manual.Rutkowski, George B. is the author of 'Operational Amplifiers Integrated and Hybrid Circuits' with ISBN 9780471577188 and ISBN 0471577189.
