This textbook is used in ECE 200: Introduction to Signals, Circuits and Systems offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NC State University. It is intended for sophomores with little or no background in signals and circuits. The first half of the book is dedicated to fundamental concepts and applications of them to analysis of simple circuits. The second half of the book focuses on analog signal processing with examples in practical systems including audio amplifiers, mixers, filters and RF transmitters and receivers. All proceeds from the sales of this book through this page are donated to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering to support the ECE200 Laboratory.

All undergraduates in electrical and electronic engineering must understand the principles of circuit analysis. This new text provides an accessible introduction to the subject, unlike other older texts which are considerably more bulky and cover the subject in less depth. Written by an experienced teacher of this material, it is an ideal undergraduate text, providing careful and unstinted explanations and many illustrations. Another student-friendly feature is the fact the mathematical prerequisites are kept to a minimum.

Relevant applications to electronics, telecommunications and power systems are included in a comprehensive introduction to the theory of electronic circuits for physical science students.

CD-ROM contains: AIM SPICE (from AIM Software) -- Micro-Cap 6 (from Spectrum Software) -- Silos III Verilog Simulator (from Simucad) -- Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 (from Adobe).

This textbook provides an introduction to circuits, systems, and motors for students in electrical engineering as well as other majors that need an introduction to circuits. Unlike most other textbooks that highlight only circuit theory, this book goes into detail on many practical aspects of working with circuits, including electrical safety and the proper method to measure the relevant circuit parameters using modern measurement systems. Coverage also includes a detailed discussion of motors and generators, including brushless DC motors, as these are critical topics in the robotic and mechatronics industries. Lastly, the book discusses A/D and D/A converters given their importance in modern measurement and control systems. In addition to covering the basic circuit concepts, the author also provides the students with the necessary mathematics to analyze correctly the circuit concepts being presented. The chapter on phasor domain circuit analysis begins with a detailed review of complex numbers as many students are weak in this area. Likewise, before discussing filters and Bode Diagrams, the Fourier Transform and later the Laplace Transform are explained.

An Introduction to Logic Circuit Testing provides a detailed coverage of techniques for test generation and testable design of digital electronic circuits/systems. The material covered in the book should be sufficient for a course, or part of a course, in digital circuit testing for senior-level undergraduate and first-year graduate students in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The book will also be a valuable resource for engineers working in the industry. This book has four chapters. Chapter 1 deals with various types of faults that may occur in very large scale integration (VLSI)-based digital circuits. Chapter 2 introduces the major concepts of all test generation techniques such as redundancy, fault coverage, sensitization, and backtracking. Chapter 3 introduces the key concepts of testability, followed by some ad hoc design-for-testability rules that can be used to enhance testability of combinational circuits. Chapter 4 deals with test generation and response evaluation techniques used in BIST (built-in self-test) schemes for VLSI chips.
