Description: This program, intended for electronics beginners, may be used to study common applications of operational amplifiers. Linear applications include: inverting and non-inverting amplifier, 2- and 3-input adder circuits and differential amplifiers. Non-linear applications include: comparators and astable timer circuits.
The program is a simple simulation of these applications: Users enter the circuit parameters (in particular the resistances) and then (using a trackbar) they can modify the input voltage(s) and observe what happens at the op-amp's output. The values of other relevant circuit components are also calculated. The astable timer circuit circuit includes 2 LEDs that blink in real time, the frequency depending on the resistances and capacitor values set by the user.
Program and electronics help included.
