Title: Utter Disappointment
Review: This book is a complete disappointment from preface to index.If you're a math-geek who's intent is to design a network analyzer, this book may be for you. However, if your intent is to design-in an OpAmp and make it work, buy any other text out there.If you're used to the ol' -Rf/Ri (inverting) or 1+Rf/Ri (non-inverting) formulas for amplifier designs, you'll be as dumbfounded as I was when you see how the author spins the formulas around into expressions that are completely unusable for quick estimation. The author assumes we (as engineers) don't have access to network analyzers or software circuit simulators, and still keep slide-rules in our top-drawer.Additionally, the author's sections on PCB layout is esoteric and not much help beyond the obvious.Get yourself a decent OpAmp "cookbook", you'll learn far more from a "this is how they did it" approach than this author's methodology.
