PREAMBLE

The term integrated circuit reflects the capabilities of semiconductor industry to fabricate
complex electronic circuit consisting of a large number of components on a single substrate.
The operational amplifier is the most versatile active element amongst the linear ICs. This
Course presents the widely used op-amp IC741 and other linear ICs . The applications and
operations of various ICs are experimentally verified.
