Electronics Principles & Applications

Abstract

Electronics: Principles and Applications, 9e, introduces analog devices, circuits, and systems. It also presents various digital techniques that are now commonly used in what was once considered the sole domain of analog electronics. It is intended for students who have a basic understanding of Ohm’s law; Kirchhoff’s laws; power; schematic diagrams; and basic components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The digital material is self-contained and will not pose a problem for those students who have not completed a course in digital electronics. The only mathematics prerequisite is a command of basic algebra. The major objective of this text is to provide entry-level knowledge and skills for a wide range of occupations in electricity and electronics. Its purpose is to assist in the education and preparation of technicians who can effectively diagnose, repair, verify, install, and upgrade electronic circuits and systems. It also provides a solid and practical foundation in analog electronic concepts, device theory, and modern digital solutions for those who may need or want to go on to more advanced study.
