Description
Don’t worry if you never took a physics course, you can easily update your electronics knowledge by following Lou’s clear and logical
systems-level approach. When you finish this book you will understand different types of electronic circuits, how they work, and how
they fit together to create modern electronic equipment, enabling you to apply, use, select, operate and discuss common electronic products
and systems. And all this is explained using basic functional building blocks rather than detailed circuit analysis!
- Introduces
you to the principles that form the basis of electronics, including the core concepts of how to generate current flow, how to control
it, and magnetism.
- Learn about the basic components of electronics such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers,
diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits.
- Discover different types of circuits, using the functional block
diagram approach which makes it easy to understand their purpose and application without requiring nitty-gritty circuit analysis.
- Get a grip on embedded controllers, the single-chip microcontrollers that are built into virtually every electronic
device.
- Get involved with Hands-On projects in each chapter.
Audience:
Electronics hobbyists, enthusiasts, students, technical managers and marketers; Engineers from disciplines other than electrical
