Overview & Table of Contents

This is a practical work. It describes the theory of how devices work and more importantly how to troubleshoot them if they don't! The author wrote this for the entry-level student. It contains many practical circuits that illustrate how each device works and lots & lots of practice questions and problems.Most chapters end with a Troubleshooting section. There is also a Lab Book and other support materials available to students and instructors from Pearson/Prentice Hall ... .Chapter 1 - Semiconductor Construction (from the ground up)Chapter 2 - PN Junction Diode (Rectifiers, Clippers and Clampers)Chapter 3 - Other Diode Types (Zener, LED, Photo, Laser)Chapter 4 - Bipolar Junction Transistors (Bias Arrangements)Chapter 5 - Small Signal Amplifiers (Common-Emitter, Common-Collector, and Common-Base)Chapter 6 - Power Amplifiers (Class A, B, C)Chapter 7 - Regulated Power Supplies (Zener, Variable Feedback, Darlington, Switching, IC)Chapter 8 - Transistor Logic (TTL, Logic Gates, Combinational Logic)Chapter 9 - Field-Effect Transistors (JFET, D & E-Type MOSFETs)Chapter 10 - Thyristors and Unijunction Devices (Shockley, SCR, DIAC, TRIAC, UJT)Chapter 11 - Operational Amplifiers (Op-Amp, Inverting, Noninverting, Voltage Follower, Summing, Difference, Averaging, Schmitt Trigger, Comparator)Chapter 12 - Op-Amp Filters (Passive, Low-Pass, High-Pass, Band-Pass, Band-Stop)Chapter 13 - Oscillators (RC Phase-Shift, Colpitts, Hartley, Crystal, Wien Bridge, Relaxation)Chapter 14 - 555 Timer (Monostable, Astable, Debounce, Voltage-Controlled Oscillator)Chapter 15 - Miscellaneous Devices (Solar Cells, Fiber Optics, LCDs, Crystals, Speakers, Relays, Motors)
