There is more to circuit design than a good theoretical foundation coupled with a considerable amount of laboratory experience. While recognizing that theoretical knowledge is essential, Dr. O'Dell discusses the practical element of electronic circuit design with emphasis on learning by doing. Where do new circuit ideas come from? This is the topic of the first eight chapters, which deal with high and low frequency small signal circuits, opto-electronic circuits, digital circuits, oscillators, translinear circuits, and power amplifiers. In each chapter, one or more experimental circuits are...

This is a fundamental book on analogue circuitry for students of electrical and electronic engineering. Analogue circuits are used in various fields, such as microcomputer interaction and computer-aided design (CAD). Topics covered include transistor circuit techniques and amplifiers, operational amplifiers, oscillators, phase locked loops, modulation, data acquisition and distribution, and computer-aided circuit design. Basic electronics have been omitted so that appropriate emphasis can be given to the design of the most popular and useful circuits, and the author concentrates on the...

Electronic systems, including computers and telecommunications, are increasing rapidly in size and complexity. It is no longer practical to build an actual prototype. It is possible now, however, to simulate the design of a prototype without actually building the hardware. This book describes the structure of simulators suitable for use in the design of digital electronic systems. It includes the compiled code and event driven algorithms for digital electronic system simulators, together with timing verification. It also discusses limitations of the structures and problems of designing...

This is a comprehensive introduction to the theory of electrical circuits for students in the physical sciences taking a first course in electronics. The methods of circuit analysis are clearly explained and illustrated with the aid of numerous worked examples. Applications of the theory relevant to the fields of electronics, telecommunications and power systems are treated throughout.
