Publisher's Synopsis
Building on the remarkable success of 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
- Provides concise coverage of several important electronic circuits that are not covered in a fundamentals textbook
- Covers such timely topics as communication circuits (chapters 7–9) and mixed–signal interface circuits (digital–analog conversion) (Chapter 10)
- Presents a detailed treatment of high–power output stages (Chapters 2–3)
- Focuses on MOSFET and BJT circuits, rather than offering exhaustive coverage of a wide range of devices and circuits
- Important Concepts summaries at the beginning of each section direct your attention to key points
- Practical Considerations sections throughout the text relate developed theory to the actual practice of circuit design
- interactive illustrations on the text′s Companion Web Site demonstrate many difficult concepts, such as problems of distortion and nonlinear behavior
