The operational amplifier is arguably the most useful single device in analog electronic circuitry. When you apply them in the circuits, you must know their basics and functions. As for the function ...
In my previous article on common op-amp circuits, I mentioned that operational amplifiers were used for analog computing, where analog circuits simulated the behavior of complex systems. That article ...
Bob Pease got an e-mail in 2006 from an engineer who was having trouble with an integrator circuit. Amplifiers are often called op amps because they were originally used as operational amplifiers.
