About this title

Synopsis

A comprehensive text suitable for introductory courses in analogue and digital electronics design.

From the Back Cover

Electronics play a central role in our everyday lives, being at the heart of much of today’s essential technology – from mobile phones to computers, from cars to power stations. As such, all engineers, scientists and technologists need a basic understanding of this area, whilst many will require a far greater knowledge of the subject.

 

The third edition of Electronics: A Systems Approach is an outstanding introduction to this fast-moving, important field. Fully updated, it covers the latest changes and developments in the world of electronics. It continues to use Neil Storey’s well-respected systems approach, firstly explaining the overall concepts to build students' confidence and understanding, before looking at the more detailed analysis that follows. This allows the student to contextualise what the system is designed to achieve, before tackling the intricacies of the individual components. The book also offers an integrated treatment of analogue and digital electronics highlighting and exploring the common ground between the two fields.

 

Throughout the book learning is reinforced by chapter objectives, end of chapter summaries, worked examples and exercises. This third edition is a significant update to the previous material, and includes:

 

• New chapters on Operational Amplifiers, Power Electronics, Implementing Digital Systems, and Positive Feedback, Oscillators and Stability .
• A new appendix providing a useful source of Standard Op-amp Circuits
• New material on CMOS, BiFET and BiMOS Op-amps
• New treatment of Single-Chip Microcomputers
• A greatly increased number of worked examples within the text
• Additional Self-Assessment questions at the end of each chapter
