Fundamentals of Electronic Devices & Circuits

In recent years Fundamentals of Electronic Devices & Circuits are being used extensively in computers, microprocessor and very large scale integration (VLSI) design and digital signal processing research and many other things. This rapid progress in Electronics Engineering has created an increasing demand for trained Electronics Engineering personnel. This book is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students specializing in Electronics Engineering. It will also serve as reference material for engineers employed in industry. The fundamental concepts and principles behind electronics engineering are explained in a simple, easy- to- understand manner. Each chapter contains a large number of solved example or problem which will help the students in problem solving and designing of Electronics system. This text book is organized into thirteen chapters. Chapter 0: Famous Scientists and Inventors who Shaped Electronics EngineeringChapter1: Introduction to Electronics, Current and Voltage Sources and Semiconductor Physics Chapter 2: Semiconductor Diode and its ApplicationsChapter 3: Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT), Transistor Biasing and Stabilization of Operating PointChapter 4: Applications of Bipolar Junction TransistorsChapter 5: Junction Field Effect Transistor& Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor Chapter 6: SINUSOIDAL OSCILLATORS, Silicon Controlled Rectifier, Uni Junction Transistor , Solar Panel, Tunnel Diode, Photo Diode, Schottky Diode, Liquid Crystal Display & Light Emitting Diode I do hope that the text book in the present form will meet the requirement of the students doing graduation in Electronics & Communication Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Information Technology, Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering and Electrical & Electronics Engineering. I shall appreciate any suggestions from students and faculty members alike so that we can strive to make the text book more useful in the edition to come.
