Here is another tip of the hat tip of the soldering iron to one of the Planet Analog archived posts. This post gives an explanation of how op-amps work in general and how an integrator works in ...
In my previous article on common op-amp circuits, I mentioned that operational amplifiers were used for analog computing, where analog circuits simulated the behavior of complex systems. That article ...
Bob Pease got an e-mail in 2006 from an engineer who was having trouble with an integrator circuit. Amplifiers are often called op amps because they were originally used as operational amplifiers.
