Fundamentals of Analog Circuits (2nd Edition)

By Thomas L. Floyd and David M. Buchla

Book Overview

Fundamentals of Analog Circuits offers comprehensive coverage of a wide, relevant array of topics. It integrates theory, practical circuits, and troubleshooting concepts, keeping mathematical details to a minimum. Delving more deeply into coverage of linear integrated circuits than discrete device circuits, the text guides readers through a system of pedagogical tools that both reinforces and challenges their understanding. *Opens coverage with a five-chapter introduction to discrete devices that include diodes and transistor circuits, plus other topics often omitted in beginning devices texts-such as RF amplifiers, transmission lines, transformer coupled amplifiers, direct coupled amplifiers, and power amplifiers. *Discusses the operational amplifier with separate chapters on active filters and oscillators. *Explores current topics of importance, including instrumentation amplifiers, isolation amplifiers, operational transconductance amplifiers (OTA), phase locked loops, A/D and D/A converters, transducers and more. *Indicates current by meters-not arrows-allowing for easy integration into the curriculum of schools using either conventional current flow or electron flow. *Features This description may be from another edition of this product.

Customer Reviews

Fundamentals of Analog Circuits

I bought this book for use as a review of electronic circuits to keep my skills up to date... It's amazing what one forgets through a 30 year career... I found this book to be VERY informative and recommend it to anyone wanting to learn or refresh their knowledge of electronic components & circuits...

Excellent book for teaching Electronics Technicians

This is an excellent book for teaching analog circuits for an Electronics Technology degree. It explains in algebra how the basic transistor works and continues well beyond the Op Amp into the regulator and communication systems.

An excellent electronics resource

Fundamentals of Analog Circuits, 2nd Edition is worthwhile both as an analog electronics textbook and as a post-course reference. In this text the author covers the essentials of analog circuits, beginning with introductory AC topics, progressing through basic semiconductors devices such as diodes, bipolar junction and field effect transistors, advancing to discrete and operational amplifiers, and culminating with functional...
