For courses in Basic Electronics, Electronic Devices, and Electronic Circuits.

Up-to-date coverage of the basics of semiconductor devices and circuits, as well as operational amplifiers and other types of modern analog integrated circuits. Includes such advanced topics as transducers that sense basic physical qualities. Gives students a thorough grounding in the basic elements that make up an analog system, as well as introduces them to current technology. Science Highlights provide a look at scientific advances in an area that is closely related to the coverage in that chapter. Safety Notes, which appear in the margins throughout the text, give students valuable hints and information concerning safety issues when working with electrical systems. On the Job tips provide students with excellent information and material regarding their future careers. Computer Simulation and Troubleshooting Practice problems allow students to actually view circuit operations or find faults in a given circuit.
