Advanced Electronic Circuits

In the earlier stages of integrated circuit design, analog circuits consisted simply of type 741 operational amplifiers, and digital circuits of 7400-type gates. Today's designers must choose from a much larger and rapidly increasing variety of special integrated circuits marketed by a dynamic and creative industry. Only by a proper selection from this wide range can an economical and competitive solution be found to a given problem. For each individual case the designer must decide which parts of a circuit are best implemented by analog circuitry, which by conventional digital circuitry and which sections could be microprocessor controlled. In order to facilitate this decision for the designer who is not familiar with all these subjects, we have arranged the book so as to group the different circuits according to their field of application. Each chapter is thus written to stand on its own, with a minimum of cross-references. To enable the reader to proceed quickly from an idea to a working circuit, we discuss, for a large variety of problems, typical solutions, the applicability of which has been proved by thorough experimental investigation. Our thanks are here due to Prof. Dr. D. Seitzer for the provision of excellent laboratory facilities. The subject is extensive and the material presented has had to be limited. For this reason, we have omitted elementary circuit design, so that the book addresses the advanced student who has some back ground in electronics, and the practising engineer and scientist.

Advanced Electric Circuits focuses on circuit analysis, including amplification, oscillations, capacitance, and circuit elements. The publication first offers information on the symbolic method of analysis, network theorems, bridge networks, and tuned circuits and filters. The text then takes a look at polyphase circuits, non-sinusoidal and transient excitation, and valves as circuit elements. Discussions focus on amplification, resistance-capacitance amplifiers, feedback, negative feedback amplifiers, cathode follower, low-power oscillations, and practical design of feedback circuits. The manuscript elaborates on transistors as circuit elements and elementary transmission-line analysis. Topics include ideal small-signal current amplifiers, small signal performance of the common emitter amplifier, comparative table of symbols, and typical examination questions. The publication is a dependable reference for students and readers interested in electric circuits.

Description: Building on Fundamentals of Electronics Circuit Design, David and Donald Comer?s new text, Advanced Electronic Circuit Design, extends their highly focused, applied approach into the second and third semesters of the electronic circuit design sequence. This new text covers more advanced topics such as oscillators, power stages, digital/analog converters, and communications circuits such as mixers, and detectors. The text also includes technologies that are emerging. Advanced Electronic Circuit Design focuses exclusively on MOSFET and BJT circuits, allowing students to explore the fundamental methods of electronic circuit analysis and design in greater depth. Each type of circuit is first introduced without reference to the type of device used for implementation. This initial discussion of general principles establishes a firm foundation on which to proceed to circuits using the actual devices. Features: 1. Provides concise coverage of several important electronic circuits that are not covered in a fundamentals textbook. 2. Focuses on MOSFET and BJT circuits, rather than offering exhaustive coverage of a wide range of devices and circuits. 3. Includes an Important Concepts summary at the beginning of each section that direct the reader?s attention to these key points. 4. Includes several Practical Considerations sections that relate developed theory to practical circuits.
