About this title

Synopsis:

There have been many advances in electronics since the publication of the first edition of Dr Jones' highly successful introduction to electronic circuits. This is reflected in two completely new chapters on digital techniques and computers which present in an easily digestible form the important relationship of the microcomputer chip to other circuits. In the remainder of the book many detailed, changes have updated it without destroying the original logical structure. The book remains a full account of the subject, starting with basic concepts such as amplification and progressing to analogue and digital IC chip applications.

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.
