Understandable Electronic Devices

An electronic device is a physical component of an electronic circuit or system, which is used to affect electrons and their associated fields in accordance with the function of that system. Such systems have a very broad range of applications, the main ones being information processing, telecommunication, and signal processing. This book covers the principles and functions of commonly-used electronic devices from the simplest diodes and transistors to more sophisticated operational amplifiers, oscillators and voltage regulators.

Understandable Electronic Devices: Key concepts and circuit design provides a concise, easily understandable and convenient guide to this complex topic. Coverage includes diodes, bipolar junction transistors, field effect transistors, amplifiers, oscillators, and voltage regulators. Each chapter includes worked examples of theorems, and clear summaries of procedures, methods and equations.

Reviewing key concepts in modern electronics, this book is a valuable resource for anyone needing an overview of the principles of electronic devices and circuits, or to review or update their knowledge in this field. Written by a highly experienced instructor in the field, the book provides early-career professionals and college and university students with the necessary foundation in electronics. The book is also a useful resource for researchers and research professionals whose main field is not electronics research, but whose research requires a working knowledge of electronic circuits and devices.
