✦ Synopsis

The operational amplifier has become a basic analog building block common to a multitude of electronic functions performed in instrumentation, computation, and control. From the availability of these economical and versatile amplifiers has come a transition in the development of such electronics which has made the operational amplifier a basic component. As is generally the case, however, this rapidly growing new area of electronics has not been accompanied by thorough treatment of the associated technology. Beginning with the Handbook of Operational Amplifier Applications published by Burr-Brown in 1964, several segments of the operational amplifier technology have been given abbreviated coverage.
Within this book, a complete treatment of the design and application as well as the theory and testing, of operational amplifiers has been developed by the staff of Burr-Brown. From this treatment results a practical engineering reference related both to accepted electronics theory and actual electronics practice. It is hoped that this reference will aid the development of the operational amplifier technology by making available much previously unpublished information.
