ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND CIRCUITS

The book provides elementary treatment on construction, functioning, characteristics and applications of semiconductor devices. The treatment emphasizes on developing clear understanding of the device functionality. Key Features: Lays emphasis on important concepts like- Loading, regulation, dependent and independent sources, fundamental linear circuit analysis laws and theorems. The chapters 'Essential Basics' and 'Semiconductor Physics' for ready reference. The theory is followed by performance parameters which help establish essential link between theory and practice. The stress is on discussion of real devices and behavior of practical circuits. Solved problems are given w.r.t. real components and practical devices.
