Third Edition
By
Mike Tooley, BA; Advanced Technological and Higher National Certificates, Kingston University, Formerly Vice Principal, Dean of Faculty and Head of Engineering at Brooklands College, Surrey, UK
Description
Electronic Circuits
is a unique combination of a comprehensive reference text and a practical electronics handbook
in one volume.
Mike Tooley provides all the essential information required to get to grips with the fundamentals of electronics, detailing
the underpinning knowledge necessary to appreciate the operation of a wide range of electronic circuits, including amplifiers, logic
circuits, power supplies and oscillators. The third edition now offers an even more extensive range of topics, with extended coverage
of practical areas such as circuit construction and fault finding, and new topics including circuit simulation, electronic CAD and a
brand new chapter devoted to the PIC microcontroller.
A new companion website at http://www.key2electronics.com
offers the reader a set of spreadsheet design tools that can be used to simplify circuit calculations, as well as circuit models and
templates that will enable virtual simulation of circuits in the book. These are accompanied by on-line self-test MCQs per chapter with
automatic marking, to enable students to continually monitor their own progress and understanding. A bank of on-line questions for lecturers
to set as assignments is also available on http://textbooks.elsevier.com
The book's content
is matched to the latest pre-degree level courses (from Level 2 up to, and including, Foundation Degree and HND), making this an invaluable
reference text for all study levels, and its broad coverage is combined with practical case studies, based in real-world engineering
contexts throughout the text.
The unique combination of a comprehensive reference text, incorporating a primary focus on practical
application, ensures this text will prove a vital guide for students and also for industry-based engineers, who are either new to the
field of electronics, or who wish to refresh their knowledge. Yet unlike general electronics reference texts available,
Electronic
Circuits
offers this essential information at an affordable price.
Audience
Any reader new to the field of electronics, following vocational courses from Level 2 up to, and including, Foundation Degree and HND.
Technicians and engineers in industry, working with electronics for the first time. Electronics enthusiasts.
