Electronic Devices and Circuits

0.0

The book provides lucid explanations of the operation of all important electronic devices generally available today. Beginning with basic semiconductor and pn junction theory, it explains how each device operates, discusses the characteristics and parameters of each device, and presents appropriate circuit applications. It also explains circuit design and analysis methods using the currently available devices and standard-value components. The fifth edition of Electronic Devices and Circuits is designed for undergraduate engineering courses of electrical and electronics, instrumentation and control, and electronics and instrumentation. Earlier editions of this popular book already feature as one of the main recommended textbooks in several courses related to electronic devices and circuits of some of the major universities throughout the world. This edition offers a more complete coverage of the syllabuses of various universities throughout the world, including those in India. Apart from a new chapter on active filters, this edition also covers BJT switching time improvements, the 555 timer as a pulse generator, circuit testing and troubleshooting methods, RC and LC supply filters, tuned circuit amplifiers, class C amplifiers, the photomultiplier tube, and the laser diode. Key FeaturesContains a new chapter on active filters Covers small-signal amplifiers, amplifiers with negative feedback, and op-amp frequency response and compensation Includes simple, practical, and understandable circuit design examples Replaces rigorous analysis methods with practical approximations Provides explanatory captions with illustrations Includes appendices containing device data sheets, standard-value components, and answers to odd-numbered problems
