A Practical Approach to Analog and Digital Electronics

Most of the fundamental electronic components – resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, and operational amplifiers – are all inherently analog. Circuits built with a combination of solely these components are usually analog. Digital circuits usually use a binary scheme for digital signalling. These systems assign two different voltages as two different logic levels – a high voltage (usually 5V, 3.3V, or 1.8V) represents one value and a low voltage (usually 0V) represents the other. Although digital circuits are generally easier to design, they do tend to be a bit more expensive than an equally tasked analog circuit. It’s not rare to see a mixture of analog and digital components in a circuit. This latest and most comprehensive book is easy to read, and to provide all of the information necessary for the motivated student to learn this new subject matter. Students and all those interested in electronics will find this book useful in their study and work.
