Laboratory Manual for Electronics via Waveform Analysis


Book Description

This textbook for this laboratory manual takes an unusual approach to teaching the fundamentals of electronics, showing in detail the waveforms obtained at various points in an electronic circuit. The book develops a more thorough understanding of the individual components and the circuit as a whole.




Electronics via Waveform Analysis


Book Description

The author believes that a good basic understanding of electronics can be achieved by detailed visual analyses of the actual voltage waveforms present in selected circuits. The voltage waveforms included in this text were photographed using a 35-rrun camera in an attempt to make the book more attractive. This book is intended for the use of students with a variety of backgrounds. For this reason considerable material has been placed in the Appendix for those students who find it useful. The Appendix includes many basic electricity and electronic concepts as well as mathematical derivations that are not vital to the understanding of the circuit being discussed in the text at that time. Also some derivations might be so long that, if included in the text, it could affect the concentration of the student on the circuit being studied. The author has tried to make the book comprehensive enough so that a student could use it as a self-study course, providing one has access to adequate laboratory equipment.

A First Lab in Circuits and Electronics


Book Description

* Experiments are linked to real applications. Students are likely to be interested and excited to learn more and explore. Example of experiments linked to real applications can be seen in Experiment 2, steps 6, 7, 15, and 16; Experiment 5, steps 6 to 10 and Experiment 7, steps 12 to 20. * Self-contained background to all electronics experiments. Students will be able to follow without having taken an electronics course. Includes a self-contained introduction based on circuits only. For the instructor this provides flexibility as to when to run the lab. It can run concurrently with the first circuits analysis course. * Review background sections are provided. This convenient text feature provides an alternative point of view; helps provide a uniform background for students of different theoretical backgrounds. * A "touch-and-feel" approach helps to provide intuition and to make things "click". Rather than thinking of the lab as a set of boring procedures, students get the idea that what they are learning is real. * Encourages students to explore and to ask "what if" questions. Helps students become active learners. * Introduces students to simple design at a very early stage. Helps students see the relevance of what they are learning, and to become active learners. * Helps students become tinkerers and to experiment on their own. Students are encouraged to become creative, and their mind is opened to new possibilities. This also benefits their subsequent professional work and/or graduate study.




Semiconductor Devices


Book Description

With 28 laboratory experiments, this manual offers thorough coverage of modern semiconductor devices. Topics begin at basic semiconductor devices such as signal diodes, LEDs and Zeners; and proceeds through NPN and PNP bipolar transistors and field effect devices. Applications include rectifiers, clippers, clampers, AC to DC power supplies, transistor biasing, small and large signal class A amplifiers, followers, class B amplifiers, ohmic region FET applications and more. An extensive DC power supply project is included as well. Appendices include a symbol glossary, an overview of using a spreadsheet to view data graphically, and links to manufacturer's data sheets. Each experiment includes a parts list and test equipment inventory. Most exercises may be completed just using a digital multimeter, dual DC power supply, a function generator and oscilloscope.




Microelectronics


Book Description

This junior level electronics text provides a foundation for analyzing and designing analog and digital electronics throughout the book. Extensive pedagogical features including numerous design examples, problem solving technique sections, Test Your Understanding questions, and chapter checkpoints lend to this classic text.
