Electronic Circuit Design - with Bipolar and MOS Transistors: Volume 2 (Electrical and Electronic Engineering Design Series)

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Design Series This university level Electrical Engineering text is for anyone who wants to know how to design electronic circuits. The present text is unusually accessible to readers who want to acquire the skills of electronic circuit design. We present a thorough foundation so that you can proceed to learn how to design any circuit. This text is different from other electronic circuit design texts, because we actually design circuits, and not just talk about them. And, we ask you to work hard doing experiments so that you acquire real world experience with commercially available electronic circuits. This is about real learning. Eight experiments are included that give life to the text's contents, and provide the reader with real world experience with making measurements, using instruments, and learning about all kinds of parts. We consider the experiments to be significant learning activities. Furthermore you will learn how to design and include in your electronic circuits multistage amplifiers, feedback amplifiers. operational amplifiers, tuned amplifiers, and oscillators, basic digital circuits, and vacuum tube circuits. Electronic circuits are designed in two basic forms. One form uses discrete parts placed on a printed circuit board. The second form is an integrated circuit placed on a silicon chip. There are two major classes of transistors in use today. BJT bipolar junction transistors and MOS field effect transistors. We leave the why of device physics to semiconductor texts. We explain the BJT transistor AC and DC properties. We show how to design current mirror and differential amplifier BJT analog building blocks that are widely used in complex BJT analog IC circuits. We explain resonant circuits so that we can show how to design elementary filters, tuned amplifiers, and oscillators. The MOS transistor AC and DC properties are explained. We show how to design, in integrated circuit format, current mirror and differ
