Op Amps for Everyone

Op Amps for Everyone will help you design circuits that are reliable, have low power consumption and can be implemented in as small a size as possible, at the lowest possible cost. It bridges the gap between the theoretical and the practical by giving practical solutions using components that are available in the real world from component distributors. It does not just give a design with a transfer function but gives design tools based on that transfer function, getting you to a working circuit, and making the right decision on which Op Amp is best for the job at hand. With this book you will learn: Single op amp designs that get the most out of every amplifier 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 Strategies for making simple "tweaks" to the design - changes that are often apparent once a prototype has been constructed 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 Features Real world op amp selection guides - Learn which op amp is best for the job Includes design circuits with real world component values Contains guidelines for developing the entire signal chain from specification for the transducer, power supply, and data converter Includes new coverage of negative regulation techniques and op amp stability, Negative regulation techniques, Extended electronics theory, and Troubleshooting
