Description
Over the last 40 years, Principles of Transistor Circuits has provided students and practitioners with a text they can rely on to keep
them at the forefront of transistor circuit design.
Although integrated circuits have widespread application, the role of discrete
transistors both as important building blocks which students must understand, and as practical solutions to design problems, remains
undiminished.
The ninth edition has been thoroughly updated to cover the latest technology and applications, including computer circuit
simulation, and many diagrams have been revised to bring them in line with current usage. Updated topics include thyristors, Darlington
transistors, amplifiers, ring modulators, power supplies, optoelectronics and logic circuits.
Stan Amos, formerly head of Technical
Publications Section Engineering Training Department BBC, has been writing about electronics since the 1950s.
Mike James is an established
author and experienced FE lecturer. He currently works for Westland. His latest Newnes titles are Microcontroller Cookbook and Higher
Electronics.
Audience:
Electronic hobbyists, analogue circuit designers, FE and HE students
