Designing a Circuit with Op-Amp on PCB: Reasons & Refs

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around designing a circuit using operational amplifiers (op-amps) on a printed circuit board (PCB). Participants seek suggestions for resistor values and additional references to support their project work.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests suggestions and references for designing a circuit with op-amps, specifically asking for reasons behind choosing particular resistor values.
  • Another participant questions the absence of learning resources provided with the assignment and suggests checking a textbook and an online resource for basic information on op-amps.
  • A participant confirms that their textbook covers op-amps but seeks additional references beyond what is provided in the textbook.
  • A later reply acknowledges a misunderstanding regarding the original request and reiterates the previous suggestions as good starting points.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for additional references and resources related to op-amps, but there is no consensus on specific references beyond those mentioned.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include potential gaps in understanding the assignment requirements and the specific context of the project work, as well as the reliance on external resources for learning about op-amps.

As part of our project work we have to design a circuit using op-amps on PCB giving reasons why we used the resistors of particular value etc.
any suggestions or references?

Does your textbook cover opamps? Seems strange to get an assignment like that without also being given some learning resources.

Look in your library for "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill. It has a good basic intro to opamp circuits.

This is a good online intro to opamps, with lots of pointers to other resources at the bottom:

Yes our textbook does have op-amps.
I wanted to know if anyone could suggest some extra references.

Ah, I understand now. That wasn't clear from your original post (OP).

The two suggestions that I gave you are good places to start.
