        Operational amplifier (op amp) theory and design of a very simple op amp using discrete components (transistors, resistors, capacitors). Including content on op amp stages (difference amplifier, gain stage, output stage), bandwidth, gain-bandwidth-product (GBP), op amp performance criteria, negative feedback, and more. Final demonstrations of real-world implementation on a PCB using the Digilent Analog Discovery Pro.
