Design with Operational Amplifiers and Analog Integrated Circuits  (English, Paperback, Franco Sergio)

Franco's "Design with Operational Amplifiers and Analog Integrated Circuits, 3e" is intended for a design-oriented course in applications with operational amplifiers and analog ICs. It also serves as a comprehensive reference for practicing engineers. This new edition includes enhanced pedagogy (additional problems, more in-depth coverage of negative feedback, more effective layout), updated technology (current-feedback and folded-cascode amplifiers and low-voltage amplifiers) and increased topical coverage (current-feedback amplifiers, switching regulators and phase-locked loops).

Salient Features

• The author very effectively blends rigorous theory with real-life applications. His emphasis on the physical picture helps students develop practical insight, a key to making sound design decisions. His descriptive and straightforward writing style flows with ease for the reader.
• Approximately 175 carefully worked examples scattered throughout the text, along with over 550 ingenious and thought-provoking end-of-chapter problems, help students develop an effective problem-solving methodology as well as sound engineering judgment.
• The topical and pedagogical organization is designed to take the reader from the simple to the more sophisticated, using a "building block" approach to tackle more advanced systems and concepts.
• The vast selection of topics, thorough analysis of practical circuits and cleverly presented applications, prepare the student for employment in the real world and also serve as a precious reference for the practicing engineer.
• The extensive use of PSpice throughout the book reflects current industrial practices.
