Linear Integrated Circuits As Sensor Amplifiers

Linear Integrated Circuits as Sensor Amplifiers

Linear IC's as Sensor Signal Conditioning Amplifiers is an advanced application-based engineering technology textbook introducing operational amplifiers as sensor scaling circuits. The text employs a unique single circuit approach to develop signal conditioning amplifier design from the common single-ended inverting amplifier through multi-stage differential instrumentation-grade amplifiers. Text chapters address linear sensors, measurement systems; op amp circuit design; gain, offset and calibration considerations; and specification interpretation of strain gauges, load cells, accelerometers, thermocouples, pressure and other low-level sensors commonly employed in product testing applications. The text is nine chapters, 535 pages, includes fifteen operational amplifier lab experiments and is suggested for sophomore or junior-year engineering technology students and practitioners of sensor-based data acquisition as commonly applied in experimental testing, research and product development.

Operational Amplifiers & Linear Integrated Circuits

"In this fifth edition, we not only have kept the standard 741 op amp but also have shown many circuits with newer, readily available op amps because these have largely overcome the dc and ac limitations of the older types. We preserved or objective of simplifying the process of learning about applications involving signal conditioning, signal generation, filters, instrumentation, and control circuits. But we have oriented this fifth edition to reflect the evolution of analog circuits into those applications whose purpose is to condition signals from transducers or other sources into form suitable for presentation to a microcontroller or computer. In addition, we have added examples of circuit simulation using PSpice throughout this edition."--Introduction.
