Electronic Devices and Amplifier Circuits

The highlight of this text is Chapter 6 on integrated devices used in logic circuits. The internalconstruction and operation of the TTL, NMOS, PMOS, CMOS, ECL, and the biCMOS familiesof those devices are fully discussed. Moreover, the interpretation of the most important parameterslisted in the manufacturers data sheets are explained in detail. Chapter 7 is an introduction to pulsecircuits and waveform generators. There, the 555 Timer, the astable, monostable, and bistablemultivibrators, and the Schmitt trigger are discussedChapter 8 discusses to the frequency characteristic of single-stage and cascade amplifiers, andChapter 9 is devoted to tuned amplifiers. Sinusoidal oscillators are introduced in Chapter 10.This is the third edition of this title, and includes several Simulink, SimPowerSystems, andSimElectronics models. Appendix A, is an introduction to MATLAB®. Appendix B is anintroduction to Simulink, Appendix C is an introduction to Simscape® toolbox that includesSimPowerSystems® and SimElectronics® libraries, Appendix D is an introduction to Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers, Appendix E describes uncompensated and compensatednetworks, and Appendix F discusses the substitution, reduction, and Miller’s theorems.The author wishes to express his gratitude to the staff of The MathWorks, the developers ofMATLAB® and Simulink® for the encouragement and unlimited support they have provided mewith during the production of this text.A companion to this text, Digital Circuit Analysis and Design with Simulink® Modeling and Introductionto CPLDs and FPGAs, ISBN 978−1−934404−05−8 is recommended as a companion. This text isdevoted strictly on Boolean logic, combinational and sequential circuits as interconnected logicgates and flip−flops, an introduction to static and dynamic memory devices. and other relatedtopics.Although every effort was made to correct possible typographical errors and erroneous references tofigures and tables, some may have been overlooked. Our experience is that the best proofreader isthe reader. Accordingly, the author will appreciate it very much if any such errors are brought to hisattention so that corrections can be made for the next edition.
