The course source provides an extensive guide to the applications of Linear Integrated Circuits (ICs), focusing heavily on the Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp). It begins by defining an IC, discussing its advantages, and classifying ICs as analog (linear and radio frequency) or digital. The guide then explores the basics of the Op-Amp, including its construction, characteristics, types (ideal versus practical), and various applications, such as amplifiers (inverting, non-inverting, voltage follower) and arithmetic circuits (adders and subtractors). Further sections detail other linear and non-linear applications of Op-Amps, including differentiators, integrators, electrical quantity converters, comparators, logarithmic and anti-logarithmic amplifiers, rectifiers, clippers, and clampers. Finally, the text covers more complex IC applications, such as active filters, sinusoidal oscillators, waveform generators, the 555 Timer, the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) IC, voltage regulators, and various types of Data Converters (Digital-to-Analog and Analog-to-Digital).
Linear Integrated Circuits Applications Course is based on textbook learning material by Academy Europe.

Study Hard AND Study Smart!
Dear Students,
The textbook courses by Academy Europe are targeted at providing the students with the most important aspects of the theoretical and methodical materials. In addition, the textbook courses will also focus on the philosophical background for the development and use of the theoretical background and are thus to be understood as partly complementary to the material of the course notes. It is assumed and strongly suggested that the students study and become familiar with the course notes.
