Preamble :
Linear Integrated Circuits introduces the basic building blocks of the Integrated circuits along with
fundamental concepts of electronic circuits like operational amplifiers, rectifiers & timers and acquire the
knowledge in analysis and design IC based circuits. The linear IC is the operational amplifier or op amp,
which consists of resistors, diodes, and transistors in a conventional analog circuit. Linear ICs are employed in
audio amplifiers, A/D (analog-to-digital) converters, averaging amplifiers, differentiators, DC (direct-current)
amplifiers, integrators, multivibrators, oscillators, audio filters, and sweep generators. Operational Amplifies
performs Algebraic operations, Logarithmic Operations, Trigonometric Operations etc. Operational
Amplifiers design goes into System design instead of circuit design. Linear IC applications play vital role in
the electronic field starting from home appliances to Super computers.
Course Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Analyze the performance of operational amplifier with active load and evaluate the performance of op-
amp by dominant pole and pole zero compensation techniques.
2. Design inverting, non-inverting, instrumentation amplifiers using operational amplifier and estimate
the gain and obtain the output characteristics of clipper, clamper and peak detector using operational
amplifier.
3. Design active filters using op-amp IC741 and examine the cutoff frequency and analyze the operation
of AM detector, FM Detector, FSK modulator & demodulator using PLL.
4. Analyze the performance of weighted Resistor, R-2R ladder type DAC using operational amplifier and
evaluate the performance of Flash type, Successive approximation and dual slope ADC with respect to
techniques and conversion time.
5. Design astablemultivibrator and monostablemultivibrators using 555 Timer IC for the given
specifications.
