Providing in-depth coverage and comprehensive discussion on essential concepts of electronics engineering, this textbook begins with detailed explanation of classification of semiconductors, transport phenomena in semiconductor and Junction diodes. It covers circuit modeling techniques for bipolar junction transistors, used in designing amplifiers. The textbook discusses design construction and operation principle for junction gate field-effect transistor, silicon controlled rectifier and operational amplifier. Two separate chapters on Introduction to Communication Systems and Digital Electronics covers topics including modulation techniques, logic circuits, De Morgan's theorem and digital circuits. Applications of oscillators, silicon controlled rectifier and operational amplifier are covered in detail. Pedagogical features including solved problems, multiple choice questions and unsolved exercises are interspersed throughout the textbook for better understating of concepts. This text is the ideal resource for first year undergraduate engineering students taking an introductory, single-semester course in fundamentals of electronics engineering/principles of electronics engineering.
Analog and digital electronics are an important part of most modern courses in physics. Closely mapped to the current UGC CBCS syllabus, this comprehensive textbook will be a vital resource for undergraduate students of physics and electronics. The content is structured to emphasize fundamental concepts and applications of various circuits and instruments. A wide range of topics like semiconductor physics, diodes, transistors, amplifiers, Boolean algebra, combinational and sequential logic circuits, and microprocessors are covered in lucid language and illustrated with many diagrams and examples for easy understanding. A diverse set of questions in each chapter, including multiple-choice, reasoning, numerical, and practice problems, will help students consolidate the knowledge gained. Finally, computer simulations and project ideas for projects will help readers apply the theoretical concepts and encourage experiential learning.
What problem do today’s circuits address? The very general task of improving performance, through the application of negative feedback, of a great many of the circuits we have met to this point.
In our own version of this course, only a minority of the busy students choose to do projects. But a project can be heaps of fun. To help you conceive of one, here is some information on gadgets and ideas that might inspire a project builder, along with sketches of some great projects of yester-term.
