A Guide to Operational Amplifiers and Their Circuits

This short book has been written to provide an introduction to the basics of operational amplifiers and a selection of useful easy-to-build circuits for anyone involved in using and designing operational amplifier circuits.

It's aimed at people wanting to understand the basics of op-amps, and it gives a good number of circuits with their design equations.

This 13000 word 57 page eBook is aimed at providing an easy-to-use reference rather than a work that uses full and rigorous mathematical proofs.

The book contains several chapters: introduction and historical background; basic operational amplifier concepts; amplifier circuit configurations; filter circuits (low-pass, high-pass and band-pass); multivibrator and oscillator circuits; comparators and triggers; and differentiator and integrator circuits as shown in the table of contents below:
