Operational amplifiers

This revised text, now in its second edition, explains the core principles behind operational amplifiers and shows how they are put to work in system design. It has been expanded to roughly double the length of the earlier edition. Coverage of recent advances includes amplifiers with high gain, low input currents, reduced offset voltages, and high-speed operation. Stability, frequency response, and transient response receive substantially fuller treatment.

Two chapters are new. One examines amplifiers with current-source inputs and circuits such as adders, integrators, differentiators, and nonlinear networks. The other looks inside the amplifier, covering input stages, current mirrors, and output stages.

The book includes 132 worked examples and more than 300 problems, many with answers, along with a number of figures.
