Operational Amplifier Course - Topics and Tutorials

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a university course covering various operational amplifier topics, including adder amplifiers, integrators, differentiators, comparators, and active filters. A participant expresses confusion about studying these topics without a textbook and seeks online tutorial recommendations. Several users emphasize the importance of having a foundational book, particularly recommending "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill for comprehensive understanding. Additional online resources and tutorials are suggested, including links to educational websites and ebooks from Texas Instruments. The consensus is clear: acquiring a solid textbook is crucial for mastering operational amplifiers.

I want to inform you that our course about operational amplifier at university has such of the following topics:
adder amplifier(inverting and non inverting)- integrator-diffrentiator-comparator- schmitt trigger-rectangular waveform generator-triangular waveform generator...and some active filters that includes operational amplifiers in the order of 1,2...(LPF-HPF-band pass filter-stop band filter) and the uses of operational amplifier as voltage regulator..butterworth... many topics more...

so I was so confused to study those topics (BOOKLESS ) That's why I'm asking for you to give me web tutorial lessons...

so... any suggestions will be appreciated!
thanks again!

Don't go bookless. Get a copy of "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill. That will give you most of what you need. It's a great intro to electronics -- read it cover to cover, and you will have a great foundation in electronics and opamps.

Well, just in case you don't want to get the book, I googled opamp tutorial and got lots of hits. Here's one of the first good ones:

Maybe try that google for yourself, and check out some of the hits.

Another good ebook is by Texas Instruments. About 400 pages long and has everything you would ever need to know about op amps. But I agree, read the books and don't go bookless.

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
