Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linear IC's as Sensor Signal Conditioning Amplifiers is an advanced application-based engineering technology textbook introducing operational amplifiers as sensor scaling circuits. The text employs a unique single circuit approach to develop signal conditioning amplifier design from the common single-ended inverting amplifier through multi-stage differential instrumentation-grade amplifiers. Text chapters address linear sensors, measurement systems; op amp circuit design; gain, offset and calibration considerations; and specification interpretation of strain gauges, load cells, accelerometers, thermocouples, pressure and other low-level sensors commonly employed in product testing applications. The text is nine chapters, 535 pages, includes fifteen operational amplifier lab experiments and is suggested for sophomore or junior-year engineering technology students and practitioners of sensor-based data acquisition as commonly applied in experimental testing, research and product development.
