This practical new introduction focuses on device modeling, circuit operation and analysis, and applied design in a way that establishes an understanding of how devices fundamentals can be applied in a wide range of circumstances. Basic devices are introduced through a two-chapter format. Manufacturers' specification/data sheets are used throughout the coverage. This book contains coverage of circuit modeling that emphasizes the simplified, low- frequency, hybrid-pi model that makes this topic easier to each and easier to learn. Extensive treatment of the use of PSpice starts in Chapter 1 and continues throughout the material. PSpice examples are provided as the final part of each text section. This coverage is clearly related to chapter topics, but handled in a manner that makes its introduction entirely optional. A full chapter on the differential amplifier and its integrated circuit evolution to the operational amplifier sets the stage for subsequent chapters oriented toward integrated- circuit applications. Coverage addresses both linear and non- linear op-amp applications, including amplifier circuits, active filters, holding circuits, clamping circuits, and comparators.

From the Publisher:

Rather than attempt to superficially cover every aspect of circuits and devices, this practical new introduction focuses on device modeling, circuit operation and analysis, and applied design in a way that establishes an understanding of how devices fundamentals can be applied in a wide range of circumstances. Basic devices are introduced through a two-chapter format that consists of a first chapter dealing with the particular device category and its models, followed by a second chapter dealing with simplified applications that use only resistive components. Prior to examining transistor amplifier circuits, a general development of amplifiers from a block diagram point of view is presented; and, concepts such as gain, input resistance, output resistance, stage loading, and interaction are developed with simple models before students become involved in specific circuit details. Manufacturers' specification/data sheets are used throughout the coverage.
