Op-amp is a basic building block for many analog circuits and is widely
used in electronic devices, e.g., Zoolark has 6 op-amps in its hardware
design. In this starter guide you will also build inverting and non-inverting
amplifiers which are two fundamental circuits of op-amp applications. More
in-depth study of op-amps can be found in our book for Experimental
Discovery of Basic Microelectronics (check out our website).

Diodes

The diode is a fundamental electronic component that allows current to
flow in only one direction. It was first invented by John Ambrose Fleming
in 1904 as a rectifying device for converting AC to DC. The diode's
development paved the way for many other electronic components,
including
transistors and
integrated
circuits, and
it remains an
essential part of
electronic circuits
today.
