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 65 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.

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.

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.
