About this title

From the Publisher

More than 200 fully worked examples, solved using a consistent problem-solving methodology. Examples are given at the end of every section. Some of the problems are solved in two or three different ways to promote a comparison of different approaches.
A Practice Problem with an answer follows each Example problem, so that students can test their understanding before moving to the next section. This gives students an immediate opportunity to practice the solution methods without flipping pages or looking to the end of the book for the correct answer.
The last section in each chapter is devoted to an application aspect of the material covered in the chapter. One or two practical devices or problems are discussed, helping students to see the real-world context of the material in the chapter.
The use of PSPICE is introduced early and encouraged throughout the book. Additionally, an appendix serves as a tutorial for using PSPICE.
Review questions are provided at the end of each chapter. The questions are multiple choice ones, designed to get at the little tricks which the examples and homework problems may not cover.
The last section in each chapter is devoted to an APPLICATION of the concepts covered in the chapter. These application sections help the student to see how the concepts are found in and applied to real life situations.
Virtual Lab Student CD-ROM contains self-testing tutorials, Electronics Workbench, circuit files and demo Power Points, etc.
