Principles Of Electronic Circuits

Accompanying CD-ROM includes Evaluation version of PSPICE, SPICE netlists, Electronic Workbench circuit models and Acrobat transparencies.

This book provides an exceptionally clear introduction to DC/AC circuits supported by superior exercises, examples, and illustrations--and an emphasis on troubleshooting and applications. It features an exciting full color format which uses color to enhance the instructional value of photographs, illustrations, tables, charts, and graphs. Throughout the book's coverage, the use of mathematics is limited to only those concepts that are needed for understanding. Floyd's acclaimed troubleshooting emphasis, as always, provides learners with the problem solving experience they need for a successful career in electronics. Chapter topics cover components, quantities and units; voltage, current, and resistance; Ohm's Law; energy and power; series circuits; parallel circuits; series-parallel circuits; circuit theorems and conversions; branch, mesh, and node analysis; magnetism and electromagnetism; an introduction to alternating current and voltage; phasors and complex numbers; capacitors; inductors; transformers; RC circuits; RL circuits; RLC circuits and resonance; basic filters; circuit theorems in AC analysis; pulse response of reactive circuits; and polyphase systems in power applications. For electronics technicians, electronics teachers, and electronics hobbyists.

In this book we have included more examples,tutorial problems and objective test questions in almost all the chapters.The chapter on Optoelectronic Devices has been expanded to include more application examples in the area of optical fibre networks.The chapter on Regulated Power Supply carries more detailed study of fixed positive-Fixed negative and adjustable-linear IC voltage regulators as well as swithching voltage regulator.The topic on OP-AMPs has been separated from the chapter on integrated Circuits.A new chapter is prepard on OP-AMPs and its Applications.The Chapter on OP-AMPs and its Applications includes OP-AMP based Oscillator circuits,active filters etc.

This book begins with the physical principles involved in the operation of semiconductor components, proceeds through the physical electronics, modeling, and circuit characteristics of these components, and engages the questions and problems that arise in the computer-aided design of complex multicomponent functional assemblies of the type found in modern integrated-circuit packages.

Electronics explained in one volume, using both theoretical and practical applications. Mike Tooley provides all the information required to get to grips with the fundamentals of electronics, detailing the underpinning knowledge necessary to appreciate the operation of a wide range of electronic circuits, including amplifiers, logic circuits, power supplies and oscillators. The 5th edition includes an additional chapter showing how a wide range of useful electronic applications can be developed in conjunction with the increasingly popular Arduino microcontroller, as well as a new section on batteries for use in electronic equipment and some additional/updated student assignments. The book's content is matched to the latest pre-degree level courses (from Level 2 up to, and including, Foundation Degree and HND), making this an invaluable reference text for all study levels, and its broad coverage is combined with practical case studies based in real-world engineering contexts. In addition, each chapter includes a practical investigation designed to reinforce learning and provide a basis for further practical work. A companion website at http://www.key2electronics.com offers the reader a set of spreadsheet design tools that can be used to simplify circuit calculations, as well as circuit models and templates that will enable virtual simulation of circuits in the book. These are accompanied by online self-test multiple choice questions for each chapter with automatic marking, to enable students to continually monitor their own progress and understanding. A bank of online questions for lecturers to set as assignments is also available.
