Electronic Devices and Circuits

An understanding of electronic devices and circuits can most easily be achieved by learning how to design circuits. Practical circuit design is usually quite simple, much simpler than some methods of circuit analysis.
The objectives of this book, therefore, are to provide clear explanations of the operation of all the important electronic devices generally available today, to show how each device is used in appropriate circuits, and to demonstrate how such circuits are designed.
This fifth edition is intended for undergraduate engineering courses in electrical and electronics, instrumentation and control, and electronics and instrumentation as well as a reference text for practising professionals.
