Description

A unique feature of this book is that it shows just how simple it is to design electronic circuits, using little more than Ohm's law and the capacitor impedance equation. Numerous practical circuit design examples are offered, using currently-available devices and standard-value components.

The author is convinced that an understanding of devices and circuits is most easily achieved by learning how to design circuits. "Practical circuit design is usually quite simple, much simpler than some methods of circuit analysis."

Commencing with an introduction to semiconductors and pn-junction theory, all of the most important semiconductor devices in general use today are covered. The operation of each device is carefully explained, and its characteristics and parameters are discussed in detail. Circuit applications are then treated, and the design and analysis of circuits involving the device are investigated. Computer graphic analysis results are also shown for many design examples. Coverage includes IC operational amplifiers, IC audio amplifiers, and IC voltage regulators.

Features

  • Objectives list at the beginning of each chapter.
  • Practice Problems at the end of each section, with answers at the end of the chapter.
  • Chapter Review Questions and Problems grouped and identified according to section.
  • Answers to Odd-numbered Problems at the back of the book.
  • Device Data Sheets and Component Standard Values in the appendices.
