Electronics_Principles_and_Applications__9th_Edition

Electronics: Principles and Applications, 9e, introduces analogdevices, circuits, and systems. It also presents various digitaltechniques that are now commonly used in what was once con.sidered the sole domain of analog electronics. It is intended forstudents who have a basic understanding of Ohm\'s law: Kirchhoff\'s laws; power schematic diagrams; and basic componentssuch as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The digital materialis self-contained and will not pose a problem for those studentswho have not completed a course in digital electronics. Theonly mathematics prerequisite is a command of basic algebra.The major objective of this text is to provide entry-levelknowledge and skills for a wide range of occupations in electricity and electronics. Its purpose is to assist in the educationand preparation of technicians who can effectively diagnose. re.pair, verify, install, and upgrade electronic circuits and systemsIt also provides a solid and practical foundation in analog electronic concepts, device theory, and modern digital solutions forthose who may need or want to go on to more advanced study.The ninth edition. like the earlier ones, combines theory andapplications in a logical, evenly paced sequence. It is importantthat a student\'s first exposure to electronic devices and circuitsbe based on a smooth integration of theory and practice. Thisapproach helps the student develop an understanding of howdevices such as diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits func.tion and how they are used in practice. Then the understandingof these functions can be applied to the solution of practicalproblems such as performance analysis and troubleshooting.This is an extremely practical text. The devices, circuits, andapplications are typical of those used in all phases of electron-ics. Reference is made to common aids such as parts catalogscomponent identification systems, and substitution guides, andreal-world troubleshooting techniques are applied whenever appropriate. The information, theory, and calculations presentedare the same as those used by practicing technicians. The formulas presented are immediately applied in examples that makesense and relate to the kinds of calculations actually made bytechnical workers.
