Synopsis

Learn Linear Circuits by Actually Designing Them! With more examples, problems, applications, and tools, the Third Edition of Thomas and Rosa's The Analysis and Design of Linear Circuits presents an effective learn-by-doing approach to linear circuits. The authors not only discuss Laplace transforms, new passive and active elements, time-varying circuits, and fundamental analysis and design concepts, they also provide valuable skill-building exercises and tools. Here's how Thomas and Rosa's learn-by-doing approach works: * Apply concepts to practical problems. Throughout the text, the authors maintain a steady focus circuit design and include a greatly revised set of design examples, exercises, and homework problems. * Master the most modern software tools. The new edition now covers five of today's most widely used programs: Excel (r), Matlab(r), Electronics Workbench(r), and PSpice(r). * Explore real-world applications. The Third Edition now features many new real-world applications that are especially relevant to computer engineering, instrumentation, electronics, and signals. * Build circuits you can use. The text's early coverage of the Ideal Op-Amp will help readers design practical interface circuits, instrumentation systems, and cascade filters. * Evaluate competing designs. Thomas and Rosa show how to evaluate and select the best design from several correct approaches. * Develop circuit analysis and design skills. The text provides many opportunities to apply Laplace and related tools such as pole-zero diagrams, Bode diagrams, and Fourier series. This constant exposure to analysis and design tools will build practical skills.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Thomas and Rosa’s Fourth Edition of The Analysis and Design of Linear Circuits gives you the opportunity to not only analyze, but also design and evaluate linear circuits as early as possible. The text’s abundance of problems, applications, pedagogical tools, and realistic examples help you develop skills needed to solve problems, design practical alternatives, and choose the best design from several competing solutions.

 This Laplace Early Versions of the Fourth Edition introduces Laplace immediately after the classical treatment of circuit differential equations, rather than after phasors. This innovative presentation helps you develop real understanding of transient and steady–state responses more quickly than a traditional phasor–first approach, and better prepares you to handle the profusion of transforms in subsequent courses. Phasors are then introduced as a special case of Laplace when they are easier to learn and understand.

 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FOURTH EDITION

• New application examples relating to electronics, computer engineering, signal processing, and instrumentation/bioengineering provide a broader scope.
• An early emphasis on design and analysis reinforces your understanding of circuit fundamentals.
• Early Op–Amp coverage allows you to design practical circuits that you can actually build and use.
• A separate chapter on waveforms and signal characteristics introduces all the important input and output signals encountered in linear circuits.
• Examples of computer –aided circuit analysis using Excel®, MATLAB®, Mathcad®, Electronics Workbench®, and Pspice® examples have been revised and updated to Orcad Release 9.2.
• Carefully designed learning objectives supported with homework problems and cross–referenced to in–chapter examples enable you to assess your mastery of the material.
• Chapter–length appendices on Fourier transforms and two–part networks, complete with examples and problems, are available on the Web.
