A practical introduction to electronic circuits / Martin Hartley Jones

By: Jones, Martin Hartley, 1942-.
Publisher: Cambridge, U.K. : Cambridge University Press, 1995Edition: 3rd ed.Description: xix, 522 p. ; 25 cm.ISBN: 0521478790.Subject(s): Electronic circuitsDDC classification: 621.3815
Contents:
1. Amplification and the transistor. - 2. The field-effect transistor. - 3. Thermionic valves and the cathode-ray tube. - 4. Negative feedback. - 5. Impedance matching. - 6. Semiconductor device characteristics. - 7. Amplification at high frequencies. - 8. Low-frequency signals, d.c. and the differential amplifier. - 9. Power supplies and power control. - 10. Pulse handling and time constants. - 11. Integrated circuit analogue building bricks. - 12. Positive feedback circuits and signal generators. - 13. Digital logic circuits. - 14. Microcomputer circuits and applications. - Appendix 1. Component identification. - Appendix 2. Transistor selection. - Appendix 3. Op amp data. - Appendix 4. Digital IC connections. - Appendix 5. Interfacing to the PC. - Bibliography. - Index.
Summary: This book provides a practically based explanation of electronics which can be understood by any reader who has some knowledge of electrical circuits. Martin Hartley Jones Presents a full account of the subject, starting with basic concepts such as amplification, and progressing to analogue and digital IC chip applications, including a lucid account of microcomputers. All the topics are effectively illustrated with lively experiments, and the mathematics is not permitted to obscure the electronics, so the book remains very readable. - Back cover
