Synopsis

Practical Electronics Handbook, Second Edition covers information useful in electronics, with focus on mathematical conventions. The handbook discusses the passive (resistors, capacitors, band coding, and inductors) and active discrete (diodes, transistors and negative feedback) components; discrete component circuits; and transferring digital data. Linear I.C.s, which are the single-chip arrangements of amplifier circuits that are intended to be biased and operated in a linear way, and digital I.C.s, which process signals and consist of two significant voltage levels, are also considered. The book also describes serial and parallel data transfer methods. The text will be beneficial to constructor of electronic circuits, service engineers and design engineers.

About this title

Review

'This must be one of the best, if not the best, value-for-money handbooks that you can buy. It has been designed to include within a reasonable space most of the information that is useful in day-to-day electronics... A practical and comprehensive collection of circuits, rules of thumb and design for professional engineers, students and enthusiasts, and enough background to allow the understanding and development of a range of basic circuits.' Elektor Electronics.

'The handbook provides a clear, cohesive approach to complement and clarify the mass of information often provided in databooks.' New Electronics.

'An excellent handbook for the constructor ranging from resistor colour codes to simple transistor building blocks. An invaluable reference book for everyone from beginners to professional engineers. Covers passive and active discrete components circuits, linear and digital ICs and TTL and CMOS pinouts.' Electronics and Beyond.

...information on microcontrollers, digital broadcasting systems and electronics security systems has been added. Together with the previous chapters on sensors, microprocessors, transducers, digital simulation, and energy conversion devices, it covers almost every aspect of the modern electronic world and yet somehow manages to limit the whole publication to a reasonably thin handbook.

This authors unique approach of providing every basic information with only enough clues to details elsewhere may be the only approach to achieve author's original objective. Appendices including tables, data, and bibliographies, at the end of the Handbook also provide valuable information for the readers.
