This book offers comprehensive coverage of a wide, relevant array of operational amplifier topics. KEY The book integrates theory, practical circuits, and troubleshooting concepts, keeping mathematical details to a minimum. Delving more deeply into coverage of operational amplifiers, the book guides readers through a system of pedagogical tools that both reinforces and challenges their understanding. An essential reference in electronic technology.
Thomas L. Floyd in Basic Operational Amplifiers and Linear Integrated Circuits pushes the idea that we treat sleep like a luxury when it's basically the foundation for everything else. I felt like it was solid, because the stories come from regular people, like the night-shift cashier who thought coffee and willpower were enough until she nearly fell asleep at a red light. The chapter on naps got me thinking about how proud I used to be of running on five hours. You don't have to agree with everything, but it definitely forces you to rethink what you're really bragging about when you say "I'll sleep when I'm dead."
I picked up Basic Operational Amplifiers and Linear Integrated Circuits on a whim and ended up reading it in a parked car because I couldn't wait to get inside. Thomas L. Floyd has a way of making a plain kitchen feel like a courtroom, especially in the scene where a mother quietly counts the cash in her purse while her son lies to her face about where it went. Nobody yells, and it's still brutal. What bugged me was the ex-boyfriend subplot, which felt like it got dropped in to hit a word count. Who this is for: readers who like family tension with the volume turned down. Who should pass: anybody who needs a big blowup to feel something.
