About this title

From the Author

Enjoy trying out the practical circuits
I enjoy electronics. I have taught it at UMIST and more recently have made my living in industrial electronic engineering. In A Practical Introduction to Electronic Circuits, I've explained the theory in an understandable way, and have also provided circuit examples complete with component values so that the reader can actually try them out and learn by experiment. This is not only more fun, it's also my preferred way of learning! Starting with the transistor, the book describes amplification, power supplies, oscillators and digital circuits. Unusually, the valve (vacuum tube) features in a chapter recognizing today's interest in its audio applications. The workings of computers are explained and there are some interesting PC interfacing experiments. Today's merging of analogue and digital is reflected in clear explanations of A to D and D to A conversion, including the delta-sigma oversampling chips used in digital audio.
