The recommended power source is a split power supply (±6 to ±15V). Dispelling one common misconception, note that the ± power supplies need not be equal in voltage. If unequal, the maximum output ...

Operational amplifiers (commonly called op amps) are a ubiquitous building block for designing electronic circuits. Today, these devices are fabricated as small integrated circuits, but the concept ...

My hands-on introduction to operational amplifiers was in 1969 while in the army as a junior scientist in the Atmospheric Science Laboratory at the White Sands Proving Grounds. We had taken a ...
