The goal of this book is to encourage the reader to become proficient in the analysis and design of circuits utilizing modern linear integrated circuits. It progresses from the fundamental circuit building blocks through to analog and digital conversion systems. A methodical step-by-step presentation introduces the basic idealized operational amplifiers and eventually examines practical limitations in great detail. Each chapter has a problem set and contains extended topic to present extra discussion and details about the subject.

"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.

Franco's "Design with Operational Amplifiers and Analog Integrated Circuits, 4e" combines theory with real-life applications to deliver a straightforward look at analog design principles and techniques. An emphasis on the physical picture helps the student develop the intuition and practical insight that are the keys to making sound design decisions.is The book is intended for a design-oriented course in applications with operational amplifiers and analog ICs. It also serves as a comprehensive reference for practicing engineers. This new edition includes enhanced pedagogy (additional problems, more in-depth coverage of negative feedback, more effective layout), updated technology (current-feedback and folded-cascode amplifiers, and low-voltage amplifiers), and increased topical coverage (current-feedback amplifiers, switching regulators and phase-locked loops).

This book offers comprehensive coverage of a wide, relevant array of operational amplifier topics. KEY TOPICS: The book integrates theory, practical circuits, and troubleshooting concepts, keeping mathematical details to a minimum. Delving more deeply into coverage of operational amplifiers, the book guides readers through a system of pedagogical tools that both reinforces and challenges their understanding. An essential reference in electronic technology.

For introductory and upper-level courses in Operational Amplifiers and Linear Integrated Circuits. Focusing on applications, this text develops students' ability to analyze, model, and predict the performance of operational amplifiers and related linear circuits, as well as design the various circuit functions to perform specified operations. It studies a few widely used and time-tested devices in detail, and builds upon basic principles to establish a foundation for understanding and adapting to new technology and developments.

Offering practical examples, this book shows how to design op-amps into a variety of circuits. It begins with a description of the basic operational amplifier circuit, and then discusses voltage followers, inverting amplifiers and non-inverting amplifiers. It also investigates Op-amp characteristics and parameters.

A guide to the design and application of op-amp and other linear integrated circuits (ICs). Emphasizing fundamental design concepts, it covers the widely used op-amp IC 741 and other linear ICs such as 555 (timer), 565 (phase locked loop), regulated power supply IC chips, switched mode power supply, active filters, D/A and A/D converters. Also discusses IC fabrication technology. Each chapter contains examples and end-of-chapter laboratory experiments demonstrate the use and operation of the ICs described, IC number, pin configuration, and more. Data sheets for important ICs are also included.
