Manual of linear integrated circuits;: Operational amplifiers and analog ICs

Answers the practical need for a text on linear IC's that avoids a confusing, too-broad coverage and yet includes many other linear IC's often excluded by competing texts. The coverage is in specific, practical detail, including a cross reference list of over 300 commercial types, with a comprehensive text discussion of many dozens of representative LIC's and their specific applications in 140 illustrations.This book explains and illustrates the field of linear integrated circuits (LIC's), including Op Amps and all other forms of LIC's. It presents a thorough discussion of underlying principles, strengthened by a host of application schematics. In addition to comprehensive selection guides and cross-references of type numbers, the book contains valuable breadboarding and testing techniques which enhance its practical use. Electronic engineers and technicians should find it of great assistance.The author has sorted out the most relevant IC's and has chosen to eliminate confusing interference from the multiplicity of digital IC's while including a very comprehensive coverage of linear IC's such as comparators, :regulators, active filters, and radio-tv units.This book is essentially a practical presentation of basic principles, generously illustrated by over 100 application schematics, giving definite information on model types and detailed component values. The emphasis on significant parameters is pin-pointed in comparative tables, leading to the intelligent selection (by quick reference Selection Guide) of the right OP AMP for the desired purpose. There are extensive references to other information sources, such as valuable manufacturers' manuals and a text bibliography. The cross reference index describes well over 300 manufacturers' type numbers with identifying codes for second source types and covers models from practically all major manufacturers.
