Fundamentals of Linear Electronics

New edition of a text in which Cox (electronics and computer engineering technology, Daytona Beach Community College) covers discrete circuitry, with a focus upon integrated circuits. Initial chapters introduce the components used to build electronics circuits, such as the op-amp that provides the foundation for much of today's modern circuitry. Subsequent chapters explore the circuitry used to construct electronics systems, including active filters, oscillators, differential amplifiers, voltage regulators, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, power amplifiers, and phase-control circuits using SCRs and Triacs. Pre-labs at the end of each chapter simulate the hardware lab experiments. The included CD-ROM contains pre-created MultiSIM files and the MultiSIM textbook edition. Annotation c.
