Product Description:

This book is an undergraduate level textbook. It is an expanded version of the first edition. The prerequisites for this text are first year calculus and physics, and a two-semester course in circuit analysis including the fundamental theorems and the Laplace transformation. This text begins with is an introduction to the nature of small signals used in electronic devices, amplifiers, definitions of decibels, bandwidth, poles and zeros, stability, transfer functions, and Bode plots. It continues with an introduction to solid state electronics, diodes, bipolar junction transistors, field effect transistors (FETs), unijunction transistors, diacs, triacs, silicon control rectifiers (SCRs), and other PNPN devices. The highlight of this text is a long and detailed chapter on op amps. Integrated devices used in logic circuits, and their internal construction are discussed in another long chapter. It concludes with a discussion on tuned amplifier circuits and oscillators. It contains several examples with MATLAB computations and Simulink models. Includes an appendix on Proportional, Integral, and Derivative (PID) circuits A supplementary text to this title is our Digital Circuit Analysis & Design with Simulink Modeling and Introduction to CPLDs and FPGAs, ISBN 978-1-934404-06-5.



Summary: Awesome. 10 stars.
Rating: 5

This book lays out the many concepts of all of the common devices, clearly. I have the signals book from this author as well, and both books are extremely impressive in my opinion. It's really hard to find good textbooks for school, and the "required" texts usualy stink, and are filled with explanations that are written to impress. This book is not like that at all, everything is clear and concise, tables and diagrams here and there sum up the past pages throughout the book. I'd give this book 10 stars if I could, when you buy this book you're also supporting a GOOD business, a business that's interested in making your process of "getting learnt" easier!

Summary: Showcases numerous practical applications supplemented with detailed instructions
Rating: 5

Compiled and edited by electrical engineer and academician Steven T. Karris, Electronic Devices And Amplifier Circuits With MATLAB Applications provides a concise and comprehensive explanations of state-of-the-art electronic devices and integrated circuits in a text enhanced with a profusion of real-world examples. Karris covers basic electronic concepts and signals, semiconductor electronics, diodes, bipolar junction transistors, field effect transistors and PNPN devices, operational amplifiers, integrated circuits, pulse circuits and waveforms generators, frequency characteristics of single-stage and cascaded amplifiers, tuned amplifiers, sinusoidal oscillators, compensated attenuators, and more. Each individual chapter showcases numerous practical applications supplemented with detailed instructions. Electronic Devices And Amplifier Circuits is an invaluable and highly recommended addition to personal, professional, and technical college electronic reference and resource collections.


Summary: GREAT BOOK FOR NEWBIE OR SEASONED VET
Rating: 5

Whether you are a beginner learning electrical engineering, or a practiced engineer who wants to bone up on the subject, then this, or any of Steven Karris' books are for you. They present just the right balance of theory and examples to give you the bedrock of the subject. As an engineer, I use his books to review forgotten principles, study for the PE exam, and learn to incorporate the use of MATLAB into my current work. And best of all, they COST LESS then the overpriced textbooks that most schools use....
