Optimizing Op Amp Performance

Operational amplifiers (op amps) are found everywhere in electronics. This guide shows how to optimize op amp behaviour in circuit design, without extensive mathematical analysis. The author develops design equations and models that better reflect real world op amp behaviour.

A new approach for maximizing op amp behavior in circuit designs- without extensive mathematical analysis This guide from one of the world's leading op amp designers takes you through the causes of op amp performance problems- such as oscillations, errors, bandwidth limitations, noise, and distortion - and shows you how to develop simple models and design equations that lead to optimal results. You'll find detailed solutions for feedback conditions; power supply bypass; phase compensation; reducing radiated interference; and measuring distortion.Combining intuitive and mathematical evaluations, this get-it-done tool packs varied examples that enable you to optimize a range of performance characteristics.
