Product Description

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).

From the Publisher
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.

Customer Reviews

VERY GOOD REFERENCE ON OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS.
Sergio Franco's book demonstrates important fundamental concepts of op-amps, which is crucial in the design of analog/digital circuits, and ICs. It should deserve a sixth star if it also comes with answers to selected problems on calculation and design. This is an excellent text for undergrads or working professionals in need of a good op-amp reference.

A "must have" book for audio/electronic engineers
I am studing audio engineering and I found it specially useful for understanding and developing basic analog systems. Also for begginers and advanced circuits with op.amps. It is written very clear so you wont loose by reading it, sure! I have no doubts it has been a right purchase. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about this part of electronic.

Op Amps
This is a really good book. Im a 2nd year student in Electrical/Electronic Engineering and this book has immensely helped me in Analogue Electronics this year. Last year I didnt have a guiding book and my analogue grade suffered, I knew the equations but had no intuitive understanding of the various circuits. This year, its been far better, as this book starts from the first principles of amplifiers and builds onto the more demanding topics like feedback and active filters etc. But yes, some background knowledge in circuit analysis is recommended.
