What we have learnt
- Troubleshooting is essential for maintaining reliable operation in electronic systems.
- Common issues in Op-Amps include incorrect voltage levels, oscillations, and offset voltage.
- Effective techniques include visual inspections, measurement tools, and component testing.
Key Concepts
- -- Troubleshooting
- The process of identifying, isolating, and resolving issues in electronic circuits to ensure proper functionality.
- -- OpAmp
- An operational amplifier is a high-gain voltage amplifier with differential inputs, used widely in signal processing.
- -- PID Controller
- A control loop feedback mechanism widely used in industrial control systems, which uses proportional, integral, and derivative terms to adjust control outputs.
- -- Offset Voltage
- The voltage difference that appears at the output of an amplifier when zero volts is applied to the input; this is usually an unwanted offset.
- -- Voltage Regulator
- An electronic device that maintains a constant voltage level, providing stable output despite variations in input voltage or load conditions.
