Optimizing Op Amp Performance Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is an excellent treatment of this subject that is intuitive and not overly theoretical. It draws together a lot of material available in magazines and on vendor websites, but not available in book format. The author starts with the traditional op amp symbol, and derives Black's classic feedback model for various configurations (inverting, non-inverting, etc) of the op amp. A generalized expression for the closed loop gain is eventually obtained where the numerator is the ideal closed loop gain, and the denominator contains the frequency response that can be analyzed with the aid of the Bode plot. Practical design issues are logically addressed using this simple formalism including bandwidth, phase compensation for input and output capacitances, power supply by-pass requirements, distortion, etc. Care is taken to indicate what conclusions apply to all op amp configurations, and which address specific design issues. As a writer, the author is very pointed in his approach and thorough with his analyses; and will not win any awards for fiction suited for a general audience. However, I highly recommend the book to anyone trying to learn how to use op amps in a systematic way.

Analog Signal Processing with Laplace Transforms and Active Filter Design Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book gives a very good introduction to Laplace Transforms and Active Op-amp Filters. It highlights possible misstates a newbie might make. If you don't need a crash intro, I recommand purchasing a more advanced book on the appropriate topic.
