Using a unique, highly visual approach, Principles of Electronic Devices and Circuits provides you with a practical, technician-oriented understanding of the fundamentals of transistor theory and circuit analysis, without requiring a lot of formula memorization. This text builds upon your basic DC/AC knowledge by showing that most new circuit concepts can be simplified to basic equations learned in DC/AC circuit analysis. The emphasis on critical thinking and troubleshooting and the fully-correlated Lab Manual, help you acquire the knowledge and skills you need to analyze, solve and predict transistor circuit operation.

This new text by Denton J. Dailey covers both discrete and integrated components. Among the many features that students will find helpful in understanding the material are the following: Concept icons in the margins signify that topical coverage relates to other fields and areas of electronics, such as communications, microprocessors, and digital electronics. These icons help the reader to answer the question, "Why is it important for me to learn this?" Key terms presented in each chapter are defined in the margins to reinforce students' understanding. Chapter objectives introduce each chapter and provide students with a roadmap of topics to be covered.

This practical new introduction focuses on device modeling, circuit operation and analysis, and applied design in a way that establishes an understanding of how devices fundamentals can be applied in a wide range of circumstances. Basic devices are introduced through a two-chapter format. Manufacturers' specification/data sheets are used throughout the coverage. This book contains coverage of circuit modeling that emphasizes the simplified, low- frequency, hybrid-pi model that makes this topic easier to each and easier to learn. Extensive treatment of the use of PSpice starts in Chapter 1 and continues throughout the material. PSpice examples are provided as the final part of each text section. This coverage is clearly related to chapter topics, but handled in a manner that makes its introduction entirely optional. A full chapter on the differential amplifier and its integrated circuit evolution to the operational amplifier sets the stage for subsequent chapters oriented toward integrated- circuit applications. Coverage addresses both linear and non- linear op-amp applications, including amplifier circuits, active filters, holding circuits, clamping circuits, and comparators.

This Book Provides A Systematic And Thorough Exposition Of Electronic Devices And Circuits. The Various Principles Are Explained In Detail And The Interconnections Between Different Concepts Are Suitably Highlighted.The Book Begins By Explaining The Transition From Physics To Electronic Devices And Highlights The Linkages Between The Two. A Detailed Treatment Of Semiconductor Devices And Circuits Is Then Presented, Followed By A Comprehensive Discussion Of Bipolar Junction Transistor (Bjt). The Next Two Chapters Focus On Field Effect Transistor (Fet). Power Devices And Cathode Ray Oscilloscope Are Then Explained. The Book Includes A Large Number Of Solved Examples To Illustrate The Concepts And Techniques Discussed. Review Questions, Unsolved Problems With Answers And Objective Questions Are Included Throughout The Book.The Book Would Serve As An Excellent Text For Both Degree And Diploma Students Of Electrical, Electronics, Computer And Instrumentation Engineering. Amie Candidates Would Also Find It Extremely Useful.

Designed as a text for the students of various engineering streams such as electronics/electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, computer science and engineering, IT, instrumentation and control and mechanical engineering, this well-written text provides an introduction to electronic devices and circuits. It introduces to the readers electronic circuit analysis and design techniques with emphasis on the operation and use of semiconductor devices. It covers principles of operation, the characteristics and applications of fundamental electronic devices such as p-n junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), and field effect transistors (FETs), and special purpose diodes and transistors. In its second edition, the book includes a new chapter on “special purpose devices”. What distinguishes this text is that it explains the concepts and applications of the subject in such a way that even an average student will be able to understand working of electronic devices, analyze, design and simulate electronic circuits. This comprehensive book provides: • A large number of solved examples. • Summary highlighting the important points in the chapter. • A number of Review Questions at the end of each chapter. • A fairly large number of unsolved problems with answers.
