Linear Integrated Circuits As Sensor Amplifiers

"In this fifth edition, we not only have kept the standard 741 op amp but also have shown many circuits with newer, readily available op amps because these have largely overcome the dc and ac limitations of the older types. We preserved or objective of simplifying the process of learning about applications involving signal conditioning, signal generation, filters, instrumentation, and control circuits. But we have oriented this fifth edition to reflect the evolution of analog circuits into those applications whose purpose is to condition signals from transducers or other sources into form suitable for presentation to a microcontroller or computer. In addition, we have added examples of circuit simulation using PSpice throughout this edition."--Introduction.

An analog chip is a set of miniature electronic analog circuits formed on a single piece of semiconductor material. The voltage and current at specified points in the circuits of analog chips vary continuously in time. In contrast, digital chips only use and create voltages or currents at discrete levels, with no intermediate values. In addition to Transistors, analog chips often have a larger number of passive elements than digital chips typically do. Inductors tend to be avoided because of their large size and a transistor and capacitor together can do the work of an inductor. The book broadly deals with: Direct and capacitor coupled Opamp amplifiers; Frequency response and compensation to improve the performance of Opamp circuits; Voltage and current sources, instrumentation amplifiers and precision rectifiers, limiting and clamping circuits; Log and antilog amplifiers, etc. The book covers the syllabus prescribed for B.E. Care is taken to develop the subject logically so that the book could also be used by B.Sc. and diploma students. Neatly drawn diagrams, stepwise illustrations, and graded numerical examples, are included in every chapter to support the contents.

This accurate and easy-to-understand book presents readers with the basic principles of operational amplifiers and integrated circuits--with a very practical approach.. A large number of examples, questions, problems, and practical circuit applications make it a valuable reference guide. Chapter topics include an introduction to, frequency response and negative feedback of op-amps--along with interpretation of data sheets and characteristics. Also covered are active filters and oscillators, comparators and converters, specialized IC applications and system projects. .For professional design engineers, technologists, and technicians, with self-study interests, who need the ability to adapt to changing technology as new devices appear on the market.
