This text covers topics from basic electricity, direct current and alternating current circuits, through semiconductor devices and op amps. It builds upon the highly praised “practical learning approach” with: simulation circuits, circuit analysis tables, protoboard pictorials, historical success stories, guided examples, actual circuit applications, device testing, circuit troubleshooting, performance based objectives, quick-references summary sheets, integrated mini-math sections, and much more, making all of the topics student friendly. This fine-tuned, carefully tested and accuracy checked volume meets the needs of those beginning their training or expanding their career skills in electronics today.
