Page 16 - Op Amps Design, Applications, and Troubleshooting

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

There were countless professionals whose efforts contributed to the completion
of this textbook. In particular, I want to express my appreciation to Jo Gilmore
(Butterworth-Heinemann), Marilyn Rash (Ocean Publication Services), and
Dianne Cannon Wood (Galley Slaves). I am also grateful for the valuable com-
ments offered by Teresa Bowen and other reviewers of the original manuscript.
My sincere thanks also go to Rick Lane of Hewlet-Packard whose assistance on
this project was instrumental.
I want to acknowledge the support given by the manufacturers of the op
amps and other components whose data sheets are included in the appendices of
this book. Their cooperation greatly enhances the authenticity and utility of my
efforts.
Finally, I want to thank the thousands of students who continue to ask,
"Why didn't they just say that in the book?" and who reward their instructors by
saying, "That's not so hard. It's easy when you do it that way!"
