Principles of Transistor Circuits: Introduction to the Design of Amplifiers, Receivers and Digital Circuits

by S.W. Amos

Over the last 40 years, Principles of Transistor Circuits has provided students and practitioners with a text they can rely on to keep them at the forefront of transistor circuit design.Although integrated circuits have widespread application, the role of discrete transistors both as important building blocks which students must understand, and as practical solutions to design problems, remains undiminished.The ninth edition has been thoroughly updated to cover the latest technology and applications, including computer circuit simulation, and many diagrams have been revised to bring them in line with current usage. Updated topics include thyristors, Darlington transistors, amplifiers, ring modulators, power supplies, optoelectronics and logic circuits.Stan Amos, formerly head of Technical Publications Section Engineering Training Department BBC, has been writing about electronics since the 1950s.Mike James is an established author and experienced FE lecturer. He currently works for Westland. His latest Newnes titles are Microcontroller Cookbook and Higher Electronics.The transistor circuits bibleUpdated with new developments in technology and applicationsAccessible step-by-step introduction ideal for novices

This is not a textbook; there are no problems. But it is a very technical book. There is some math. This is actually a good book. Especially the details it offers on the various transistor configurations and amplifiers.

Although integrated circuits have widespread application, the role of discrete transistors both as important building blocks which students must understand, and as practical solutions to design problems, remains undiminished.

This work provides an introduction and overview of the basic design principles for a range of discrete building blocks. Quite useful.
