This intermediate "Op-Amps 201" class is in pursuant to the basic "Op-Amps 101" class, including more interesting types of op-amp circuits and additional helpful, practical troubleshooting tips and hints. This class employs the theoretical concepts learned in the "Op-Amps 101" class and brings them to the next higher level of practicality. Different op-amp circuit demonstrations will be utilized to illustrate and to explain how some of the seemingly harmless specifications presented in the manufacturer's data sheets can actually be treacherous and unsafe when used by inexperienced engineers. Valuable, useful techniques will be discussed and studied, showing you both the correct as well as incorrect approaches when working with op-amps. For example, driving capacitive loads is a case in point - Simply keep in mind that a long cable has enough capacitance to create major issues! You will learn how to efficiently and effectively detect / identify the various different problems commonly experienced with op-amps with the assistance of an oscilloscope. Once you recognize the symptoms, the solutions can be found readily and easily!
Our instructor understands that your work is important to you and that you want the right training which meets your requirements, and that’s why we offer the flexibility to customize our training to address your specific needs.
Although a specific curriculum/agenda is presently established for each particular training class, on the first day of class, our expert trainer will inquire you about your work, what you already know, and what you would like to learn, to enable him/her to tailor the existing course to the precise needs of your job applications, as necessary.
We want to provide you with the best, value-added training available, that is advantageous to you and to your business organization!
