The Opamp Amplifiers Collection is a set of educational circuit boards designed to support first- and second-semester electronics courses focused on operational amplifier circuit design and operation.
This collection includes eleven foundational opamp circuit configurations:
- Voltage Follower
- Non-Inverting Summing Amplifier (Shift Amplifier)
- Inverting Summing Amplifier
- Inverting Amplifier
- Non-Inverting Amplifier
- Difference Amplifier
- Instrumentation Amplifier
- Log Amplifier
- Single to Differential Converter
- Integrator, Adjustable
- Differentiator, Adjustable
Each circuit is implemented as a standalone miniPCB™ with standardized layout, clear labeling, and accessible test points, making them easy to incorporate into analog electronics lab environments. These boards are ideal for reinforcing key learning outcomes such as negative feedback, gain configuration, input/output impedance, and frequency response.
Instructors can use the full set to guide students through a structured progression—from basic inverting and non-inverting amplifiers to difference and instrumentation amplifiers—while encouraging hands-on exploration of real-world opamp behavior, stability considerations, and design trade-offs.
