Cowles Publisher Prentice Hall Kingston - Books 1 - IMG_1070 Amazon price 33.42 25.00 or Best Offer List of Symbols Abbreviations Circuit diagrams Charts Graphs Sample circuits Preface The existing number and variety of semiconductor circuits have created the need for an up- to-date handbook of practical transistor and integrated circuits. This book a product of my own needs for reliable circuits offers both experimenters and designers a graded series of selected and carefully designed transistor circuits. The circuits shown with component values and readily available semiconductors may be used either for resign or for study to obtain a working knowledge of practical circuits without an encumbering theory and mathematics. Circuits of equipment that may be purchased in manufactured or in kit form are not included and not needed in a sourcebook. I have tried to describe mainly those amplifier diode diode and switch circuits that are used by experienced designers. Each circuit is a complete package that may be used alone or combined with other to achieve known performance characteristics. To make the book useful as a design manual I have included charts and tabulated data to help a designer change a circuit in order that it may serve many different purposes. An annotated bibliography is included for persons needing supplementary information. The references are selected carefully to supply working circuits and to serve practical needs without requiring resources beyond the reach of a small home library. Contents by chapter 1.
