Synopsis Even the most hardened digital oriented mechatronic designer is gonna have to face an analog interface design or debug session at sometime in his or her career. When that happens, you will want to have this reference handy. Like Bob Pease, this book has been around for “a while.” But, also like Bob Pease, there is no ready replacement! Although the tile says "troubleshooting", there is a lot of useful design information about simple things - like choosing the right kind of capacitor - that we all take for granted until our design flakes-out for some unknown reason.

Synopsis Operational Amplifiers, Applications, Troubleshooting and Design by Davis A. Bell is one of the best general references on the use of operational amplifiers I have found. If you are new to analog design in general, and op-amp design in particular, this book is a good starting point. It is both a good general introduction to operational amplifiers, as well as a good source of application information. It is one of the first books you will reach for if you need a general op-amp application question answered. Mathematically, the book is very assessable, the mathematics level is simple algebra only. This is no limitation. As readers of our ezine's Fundamentals articles know, surprisingly, most electrical circuit analysis is not complex mathematics, but based upon straight forward algebra. Only the sections on Frequency Compensation and Active Filters, by necessity use complex variables (which really are not that complex) in the analysis.
