Overview
This unit will cover the following:
(1) Fundamental concepts
(2) Ideal linear op-amp circuits, such as inverting amplifier, non-inverting amplifier, summing amplifier, instrumentation amplifier, Wheatstone bridge,
(3) Phase-sensitive demodulation (lab)
(4) Non-ideal linear op-amp circuits
(4) Static limitations of op-amps, such as bias current, offset current, offset voltage
(5) Dynamic limitations or frequency response of op-amps
(6) Filters, such as low-pass (including 2nd order Butterworth low-pass), high-pass, band-pass, notch and all-pass filters
(7) Non-linear circuits, such as rectifier, phase-sensitive demodulator
(8)Digital-to-analogue converter (DAC), such as ladder network
(9) Analogue-to-digital converter (ADC), such as dual-ramp, successive approximation
