The revised sixth edition of this successful text continues to offer complete, comprehensive treatment of a wide array of op amp topics. It equips the reader with a sound understanding of fundamentals and demonstrates the diversity of operations that the op amp can perform in a wide range of applications involving signal conditioning, signal generation, filters, instrumentation, timing, and control circuits. A system of pedagogical aids including learning objectives, PSpice models and simulations, and problems reinforce learning. The text's clear and logical organization of the subject, coupled with many practical design and analysis examples, is well suited for a variety of course structures in electrical/electronics/communications/instrumentation disciplines
With the focus being how "fun and easy to use" IC's are, I found the book not really that much fun! It's very technical, beyond the range of a hobbyist like me who just wanted to dabble and play.
