Synopsis

This is the best value handbook on electronics you can buy. With new chapters and sections covering topics such as sensing components, connectors, soldering and unsoldering, this fourth edition contains all of the everyday information that anyone working in electronics will need. It provides a practical and comprehensive collection of circuits, rules of thumb and design data for professional engineers, students and enthusiasts, and therefore enough background to allow the understanding and development of a range of basic circuits.

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.
