Op Amp Circuit Collection- National Semiconductor

This is a like a Opamp Design Quick Reference. All the generic configurations and also example designs help you start building the Analog Blocks for your Instrument, Equipment or Gadget. It would be ideal if you test out all the configurations on a breadboard. Then try building a Measurement device with demanding specs. A Micro-ohmmeter is a suggestion i would give for testing your skills.

Contact resistance of connectors is in micro-ohms. Here contact resistance can also be affected by contamination, thermoelectric EMF. One Amp of current is passed thru the specimen, a connector and the voltage measured. The measured voltage is in micro-volts, a small analog challenge. Sometimes the test current can be even 10 Amps pulsed and the voltage measured quickly. A sample and hold synced with the pulse has to be designed. The voltage sample is taken in the middle of the pulse. Build such things, that will build the analog skills. Remember the Real world is Analog.

Handbook of Operational Amplifier Applications

Here are two important educational reference books from Texas Instruments in PDF format.

"While in the process of reviewing Texas Instruments applications notes, including those from the recently acquired Burr-Brown - I uncovered a couple of treasures, this handbook on active RC networks and one on op amp applications. These old publications, from 1966 and 1963, respectively, are some of the finest works on op amp theory that I have ever seen. Nevertheless, they contain some material that is hopelessly outdated. This includes everything from the state of the art of amplifier technology, to the parts referenced in the document - even to the symbol used for the op amp itself:"

Handbook of Operational Amplifier Applications - PDF

The operational amplifier is an extremely efficient and versatile device. Its applications span the broad electronic industry filling requirements for signal conditioning, special transfer functions, analog instrumentation, analog computation, and special systems design. The analog assets of simplicity and precision characterize circuits utilizing operational amplifiers.

Handbook of Operational Amplifier Active RC Networks - PDF

by Bruce Carter and L.P. Huelsman - sboa093a.pdf - 3.6 Mb

This is a handbook on active RC networks. The first question about this subject that one might ask is, "What is an active RC network?" The answer is simple. It is collection of resistors, capacitors, and an active element (or elements). Viewed in another sense; it is a circuit without inductors. Why leave out inductors? There are many reasons. First of all, the inductor is a relatively large and heavy element. This is especially true at frequencies in the audio range and below.

Op amps for everyone – Ron Mancini

The operational amplifier ("op amp") is the most versatile and widely used type of analog IC, used in audio and voltage amplifiers, signal conditioners, signal converters, oscillators, and analog computing systems. Almost every electronic device uses at least one op amp. This book is Texas Instruments' complete professional-level tutorial and reference to operational amplifier theory and applications.
