Synopsis

Providing an introduction to good engineering practice for electrical and electronic engineers, this book is intended for first- and second-year undergraduate courses. It deals with engineering practice in relation to important topics such as reliability and maintainability, heat management and parasitic electrical effects, environmental influences, testing and safety. The coverage encompasses the properties, behaviour, fabrication and use of materials and components used in the fields of computing, digital systems, instrumentation, and control. The second edition has been revised extensively to reflect advances in technology, with new material on insulation-displacement jointing and electrical-safety testing.

From the Back Cover

Electronics, Second Edition briefly reviews basic electrical concepts before continuing the development of the subject with many self-assessment questions and worked examples. Each chapter begins with clear aims and objectives. Introducing necessary mathematics when needed, the book avoids advanced mathematical analysis, which can be left to computers and the many versions of circuit simulation software available. The emphasis of the text is on developing a clear understanding of the principles behind the design of circuits. It is suitable for an introductory university course on electrical circuits and analog and digital electronics.
