This book is designed primarily for courses in operational amplifiers and linear integrated circuits for Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Computer Engineering and Applied Sciences students. The text has been written in a style to enable students to self study. Examples are provided throughout the book to help the students assimilate the material covered. The text is so designed that the teacher need not consult reference books. It offers fabrication technology for ICs, a wide array of opamp 741 applications, 555 timer, 565 PLL, linear voltage regulator ICs 78/79XX, 723, AD/DA converters, active filters using 741, switched capacitor filters and OTAs ,in a comprehensive manner. * Solved examples given throughout the book. * Laboratory experiments at the end of each chapter.

This book allows students to learn fundamental concepts in linear circuit analysis using a well-developed methodology that has been carefully refined through classroom use. Applying his many years of teaching experience, the author focuses the reader's attention on basic circuit concepts and modern analysis methods. The text includes detailed coverage of basics of different terminologies used in electric circuits, mesh and node equations, network analysis and network theorems, signals and its properties, graph theory and its application in circuit analysis, analogous systems, Fourier and Laplace transforms and their applications in circuit theory.Wide coverage of evolution integral, two-port networks, passive and active filters, state variable formulation of network problems and network synthesis have been made. Transient response and frequency domain analysis of network systems has also been discussed. The hall-mark feature of this text is that it helps the reader to gain a sound understanding on the basics of circuit theory.
