Operational Amplifiers

Nearly twice the size of the first edition, this second edition presents the basic principles underlying the use of these important circuits and provides many applications of their use in system design. New developments covered include operational amplifiers with high gain, low input currents and offset voltages, and high speed. The chapters on stability, frequency response, and transient response have been considerably expanded. There are two new chapters on applications and on internal structure: one describes amplifiers with current source inputs, as well as adders, integrators, differentiators, and nonlinear circuits; and the other discusses input stages, current mirrors, and output stages in operational amplifiers. Also contains 132 worked examples and over 300 problems, many with answers provided, plus several figures.
