Optimizing Op Amp Performance

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.
