How to Approach Operational Amplifier Design Project for Intro to Circuits Class?

Hello! 


Currently I am an undergraduate electrical engineering student and I have been given a design project (attached below). 


This is an introduction to circuits class and listed in the project are elements and components that the class has not covered. I have googled each of the components and I now have a decent understanding of what each part does however the entire design still proves challenging to conceptualize. 


In addition, I have attached a rough sketch of what my group members and I believe how the circuit should work and look like  


Please reply with any questions, advice, or help you can give. It will all be greatly appreciated. 

Hi James-It's pretty tough to follow your drawing.  It would be much easier for us to understand your thinking if you used standard schematic symbols. There are a number of free online schemaitc capture tools like this one:  Schematics.com.  Also, you could download the free version of Diptrace, which includes schematic capture.Please have another go at it and post a new diagram.  We'll be happy to offer comments.-Rick

Hi James,I got to understand Operation Amplifiers some 40 years ago with the 471 and found at that time that George Claytons little book on Op Amps was all I needed to understand and get to grips with the chips.I just googled George Clayton  and the book is in it's 5th edition and has the following write up. (By the way you do not need a degree to understand these scamps).George Clayton's Operational Amplifiers is a well established undergraduate text - offering full coverage of the subject for HNC/HND electronic engineering as well as first and second year degree modules. It has also proved popular in industry as a reference text.

I have to thank you Crusty, I had not heard of Clayton's book previously but it seemed a good addition to any electronics library, so I got one for A$12 on Ebay (used, but excellent condition).  It is indeed a mine of information on this subject.

Hi David,My battered but still serviceable copy sits in my reference library, It has just the balance of theory to practical to make it a got to book.Sadly I never had the chance to meet the George Clayton and thank him for being such a good home teacher. I wonder if Max new him, as George Clayton was a professor at Sheffield University?Best of the new year to you, and all at EEWeb.

Crusty, all the best to you and the missus for 2019.  I'm hoping to get over to UK in 2019 so we just might be able to meet (yeah I know i have been saying this the past couple of years now...    .

@Conrad. (a.k.a. Crusty): "...I wonder if Max new him, as George Clayton was a professor at Sheffield University?..."I don't recall the name, but there are two universities in Sheffield -- Sheffield University and Sheffield Hallam University (I went to the latter, which was obviously the best LOL) -- maybe George was at the other one.

The circuit of the battery voltage monitor is implemented using an operational amplifier IC which is used as a comparator.

For our final project we are going to be designing and laying out an Op-Amp using CMOS. The op-amp is the functional building block of analog integrated bluestacks
