A textbook for a course of one or two terms on electronic devices, circuits, and applications. Describes such discrete devices and circuits as diode rectifiers, special-purpose diodes, bipolar junction transistors, and thyristors; and such linear integrated circuits as operational amplifiers, active filters, oscillators, and discrete and IC voltage regulators. Includes examples and related exercises, frequent summaries, applications, end-of-chapter glossaries without pronunciation guides, a self- test, and answers to exercises. Colorfully illustrated throughout. The CD-ROM contains interactive circuits. No bibliography. Published by Macmillan in 1992 and Prentice-Hall in 1996. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
