The author's approach is to solve real problems and show connections between basic principles and advanced applications, especially those closely related to other engineering fields. This edition introduces several timely new topics and a number of innovative learning features. It is written for users rather than designers of circuits, electronics, and electrical machines. Material on Microcomputers now emphasizes embedded systems and the Motorola 68HC11 microcontroller. Covers computer-based instrumentation systems including LabVIEW; Field-Effect Transistors to emphasize MOS devices; and material on Digital Systems is discussed directly after circuit analysis. Book includes an Appendix of Practice Problems for Fundamentals of Engineering Licensing Exam. Illustrating the importance of electrical engineering concepts in other fields, boxed articles include topics such as anti-knock signal-processing circuits for internal combustion engines, a cardiac pacemaker, the use of Global Positioning System in surveying, batteries for electric/hybrid vehicles, and signal-processing for automotive-ignition control. Two CDs included contain an evaluation version of LabVIEW™ and the student version of PSpice with the example files discussed in the book. Provides a reference for engineers with a solid foundation in the basics of circuits, digital systems, analog electronics, and electromechanics.
