I found the book to be very helpful during my undergraduate courses. As a masters student, I still refer to the book. It gives very good explanations to the basic operation of various op-amp circuits. Together with the well written explanations, the diagrams themselves are self-explanatory.

Generally a well organized and written book!

My copy is beginning to fray. Goes to show you how important this book is in my collection. I'm no engineer but love designing circuits and so I'm always looking for references tailored for real world tinkering. Coughlin & Driscoll's work is most certainly not one that's heavy on theory and low on practical knowledge. On the contrary.

Just about everything in it is easy to understand. Learning the fundamentals of op amps, inverting and noninverting amplifiers, summers, low-pass and high-pass filters, etc. will be a breeze. Best of all it's rich in examples. Even has indispensable pointers on how to design various circuits. Now that's what I'm looking for.

I received "Operational Amplifiers and Linear Integrated Circuits" by Robert F. Coughlin & Frederick F. Driscoll. The book came as used but in top condition. The description reported looked brand new before I bought it.

However the description on Amazons page also reported that this was hard cover and I received a paper back edition.

I am satisfied, this book will still have what I need for the course work.

We were ordering textbooks for my college age son. He needed this book and looked at the original hardcover (the one for class). This was listed as the same textbook but as a paperback for much less! Of course we ordered it. It was not the book he needed ... it was a lab workbook .... grrrrrr

I have never had to return anything to Amazon and do not even know how to!!! Guess I better hop to it. It is a pain
