Week #8: (10/22-26) Operational Amplifiers

[rjagodowski]

This week we begin our discussion of linear integrated circuits with specific emphasis on Op-Amps. The lab post for this week can be found in Week #8 here. A pdf of the lab experiment can be found here in the Registered Users Only area.

We will begin the linear part of the course this week with a discussion of Operational Amplifiers, aka Op-Amps .

We'll use the electronics-tutorials.ws discussion on Op-Amp Amplifiers to get us started. Specifically, we'll first focus on the following pages: Inverting Amplifier, Non-Inverting Amplifier and Summing Amplifier.
