IC info?

[Leftyrockr]

I'm new to integrated circuits, and I have only been working with a 555 timer, so does anyone know of a good site explains IC's in detail? Or can anyone give me info on the triangle shaped IC's in a shematic?

I think you mean an opamp ? Link to a schematic with the part in question to be sure.

It is an op amp, you can see the inside structure in data sheet.

It probably is an opamp but there are other symbols used in schematics that are triangles hence the request for clarification.

Here's a link with a shematic with a triangle in it. Is that the op amp? Also, I saw the term JFET in an electronics textbook. Is that an op amp?

Some basic info on opamps (site has explanations of most common electronic parts and basic electronic theory):

Data sheets (often including example circuits) in pdf format  for just about every IC, transistor or diode you could ever need:

Yes, that's an opamp.

A JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistor) is a type of transistor:

An opamp is made up of a bunch of transistors and other components. Some opamps have FETs inside.

Ordinarily it is an OP amp, where there are "+" and "-"  labelled on the input of the "triangle". Sometimes it is a "not" circuit or some others.
You can judge what it is by the note of the "triangle".
