Fundamentals of Analog Circuits [Paperback]

I bought this book for use as a review of electronic circuits to keep my skills up to date... It's amazing what one forgets through a 30 year career... I found this book to be VERY informative and recommend it to anyone wanting to learn or refresh their knowledge of electronic components & circuits...

This is an excellent book for teaching analog circuits for an Electronics Technology degree. It explains in algebra how the basic transistor works and continues well beyond the Op Amp into the regulator and communication systems.

Fundamentals of Analog Circuits, 2nd Edition is worthwhile both as an analog electronics textbook and as a post-course reference. In this text the author covers the essentials of analog circuits, beginning with introductory AC topics, progressing through basic semiconductors devices such as diodes, bipolar junction and field effect transistors, advancing to discrete and operational amplifiers, and culminating with functional circuit blocks such as amplifiers and filters. The text contains numerous examples, section reviews, chapter references, chapter problems, and answers to selected problems to clarify course concepts and reinforce learning. A standout feature of this text is that it includes material for developing practical as well as theoretical proficiency in electronics. Background in algebra, basic trigonometry, and the introductory electronic concepts (voltage, current, resistance, Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Laws, etc.) is required and assumed, but anyone comfortable with these topics should have no problems in mastering the topics in this book.

Please describe more about the contents of this book. I need to know what is in it before purchasing it. I am a big fan of Floyd's books. By the way, please disregard this rating because I can't choose otherwise like not applicable. Thank you
