FROM THE PUBLISHER

This unique resource concisely presents the design and analysis of electronic circuitry, providing fundamental information in mathematical quantities and showing how to solve equations using an HP 48S or equivalent calculator - offering a computer code that illustrates frequency-dependent transistor circuits and a code that explains heat transfer. Proposing and analyzing over 100 basic circuits using the nodal method, Essentials of Electronic Circuitry reviews physical principles of direct and alternating circuits...examines the varied functions of diodes...studies bipolar transistors as a current source, in the amplification of small signals, and as switches...demonstrates the use of nonpolar transistors as current sources, switches, and amplifiers...elucidates the behavior of differential amplifiers...describes multiple-stage amplifiers...addresses amplifiers with frequency-dependent elements...introduces electromagnetic interference and supplies a simplified method for calculating the radiation from a printed circuit board...and more.
