Electronics Technology Fundamentals

Developed to address the need for a volume that allows the fundamentals to be covered in reduced time, this unique book provides complete and concise coverage of the fundamentals of electronics without redundant examples and the equation derivations that take up so much space in traditional books. Incorporating the most useful learning aids from Paynter's Introductory Electric Circuits and Introductory Electronic Devices and Circuits, this reference teaches how to work on various electronic systems by explaining the components and principles that are common to all of them. Encouraging active participation, the book provides extensive study and learning aids to provide readers with a clear guide to learning. The volume covers all aspects of components and circuit measurements, series, parallel and series-parallel circuits, circuit analysis techniques, magnetism, alternating current and AC measurements, inductors, resistive-inductive (RL) circuits, capacitors, RC and RLC circuits, frequency response and passive filters, basic diode circuits, bipolar junction transistor operation and biasing, BJT amplifiers, field-effect transistors and circuits, operational amplifiers, active filters and oscillators, switching circuits, discrete and integrated voltage regulators, and thyristors and other devices. For electronics professionals and those interested in an introduction to electronics.
