This book has been in print for over 27 years, and it is easy to see why it has become a design bible for a generation of engineers. Covering everything from basic op-amp theory to advanced circuit techniques (warning: math-o-phobes beware), there will be something within its pages which will be useful to all circuit designers, saving valuable development time (and brain cells). All of the theoretical work is underpinned by practical circuit examples using real op-amps and actual components, not just 'beer mat' sketches accompanied by the immortal line "component value calculations will be left as an exercise for the reader".
After an introduction to op-amps, the book is divided into several chapters which describe, in detail, the design and operation of most of the circuit blocks used in analogue work, for example, rectifiers, peak detectors, sample and hold, multipliers, comparators, integrators, differentiators, multivibrators, oscillators, signal generators etc. Finally, a useful appendix is included which gathers together the datasheets for the many popular op-amps used throughout the book.
In conclusion, Jung has assembled all the essential items necessary to create an indispensable reference guide for anyone who is involved in designing analogue electronic circuits using op-amps. It is clearly written, concisely explains difficult concepts, covers the whole range of op-amp design and contains many fully realised circuits which actually work!

Excellent book, LOUSEY printing

I'm holding in my hand a copy of the third edition of Mr. Jung's book, the "IC Op-Amp Cookbook." It just arrived from Amazon.
As an earlier reviewer has pointed out, the printing quality is very poor, particularly in the diagrams. Characters printed in smaller font sizes have a tendency to fill in with ink, so that digits like "8" or letters like "d" tend to be nothing but little blobs. ("Vcc" tends to look like "V**".) The manufacturers' datasheets in the back of the book are nearly unreadable. ("1*00 -- is that number 1500, 1600, 1900 ?") Even in parts of the book printed in larger type, the effect of the edge-bleed is to make reading a painful experience.
So, I am returning the book to Amazon. Based on Mr. Lopez's comments this is clearly not an isolated case of a bad print run. I don't believe (as Mr. Jung implies) that the Lopez review is based on some kind of illegal photocopy.
I've owned both of the previous editions of Mr. Jung's fine book on op amps, and I've very disappointed in what the publisher has done to the third edition. Prentice Hall, shame on you.

This is a bad printing...

I want to confirm what others have said about the 3rd edition. The print is not great. I should be clear that so far, I haven't seen anything that was so bad that couldn't eventually make out the text (in context), but I shouldn't have to squint and stare.
Yes, this copy is brand new direct from Amazon.
If the good Walter Jung comes back here, I want to recommend that he not use the small bold print, which is the worst. ex: pg.12 "Summary of Summing-Inverter Characteristics" is pretty much a squiggly black blob. Fig 1.9 has unreadable bold text, etc. Finally, the spec sheets are useful I'm sure, but not if they're not readable.
I hope Jung chews out Prentice hall for this mess, and that the 4th edition is better.

Valuable reference for amateur and professional

Format:Paperback
Excellect description of op amps and application circuits. Gets detailed enough to keep you out of trouble, but not so detailed that you can't follow what's going on. The books main weakness is that it does not cover active filter design.
