110 Integrated Circuit Projects for the Home Constructor, Second Edition (Completely Revised) describes five types of linear integrated circuits and 110 projects in which these can be utilized. The book describes the typical characteristics of the 741 op-amp (with open-loop voltage gain, input impedance) and the variety of ways where it can be used in basic linear amplifier applications. The type 555 timer is designed for precision timing applications, monostable multivibrator, astable multivibrator, and Schmitt trigger applications. The XR-2206 i.c. can be used by the technician as a simple waveform generator or as a complex function generator with a variety of modulation facilities. The LM380 i.c. is an easy-to use general-purpose power audio amplifier. The technician can use it as simple non-inverting 2W amplifier, or in conjunction with a single bipolar transistor, as a small baby alarm. The 723 voltage regulator i.c. can be used in a variety of fixed or variable voltage power supply applications. It can be used as a low voltage (2-7.2V) regulator and, if the technician modifies the circuit, it can produce variable output voltages. The book is suitable for engineers, apprentices, technicians, and students of electrical engineering or electronics.
