This book is an undergraduate level textbook. It is an expanded version of
the first edition. The prerequisites for this text are first year calculus
and physics, and a two-semester course in circuit analysis including the
fundamental theorems and the Laplace transformation. This text begins with
is an introduction to the nature of small signals used in electronic devices,
amplifiers, definitions of decibels, bandwidth, poles and zeros, stability,
transfer functions, and Bode plots. It continues with an introduction to
solid state electronics, diodes, bipolar junction transistors, field effect
transistors (FETs), unijunction transistors, diacs, triacs, silicon control
rectifiers (SCRs), and other PNPN devices. The highlight of this text is
a long and detailed chapter on op amps. Integrated devices used in logic
circuits, and their internal construction are discussed in another long
chapter. It concludes with a discussion on tuned amplifier circuits and
oscillators. It contains several examples with MATLAB computations and
Simulink models. Includes an appendix on Proportional, Integral, and
Derivative (PID) circuits A supplementary text to this title is our Digital
Circuit Analysis & Design with Simulink Modeling and Introduction to CPLDs
and FPGAs.
