A variety of digital devices and circuits are introduced. The use of binary numbers in digital electronics is discussed. The AND, OR, XOR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XNOR, and buffer logic gates are presented, followed by a discussion of implementing logical functions. The Karnaugh map and Boolean algebra are introduced. Different ways of constructing logic gates are presented. Half- and full-adder circuits are developed. Several types of flip-flops are discussed. Building on this foundation, we introduce counters, decoders, shift registers, D/A and A/D converters, multiplexers, demultiplexers, memory arrays, automated processing, programmable logic devices, and digital EM communications.
Oscillator circuits, categorized into relaxation and sinusoidal types, are introduced. Three examples of relaxation oscillators are given and analyzed: the SCR sawtooth, the transistor astable, and the 555 astable. Monostable operation of the 555 timer is also discussed. For sinusoidal oscillators, examples include a transistor RC, an op-amp Wien bridge, a Hartley, and a Pierce oscillator. Oscillator stability is discussed. Electromagnetic communications (AM and FM) are discussed as applications of oscillators.
Capacitors and inductors are introduced, along with their equivalent circuit laws. Switched RC circuits are thoroughly analyzed. The response of an RC circuit to a sinusoidal drive voltage is analyzed and leads to a discussion of high- and low-pass filters, phase shifters, integrators, and differentiators. The use of complex numbers in circuit analysis is introduced and applied to sinusoidally driven series RC, LR, and LRC circuits as well as the switched LRC circuit. Fourier analysis and its meaning are presented. The operation of transformers is introduced.

Over 350 end-of-chapter homework problems to test student understanding, with solutions available for course instructors. Developed by leading author Behzad Razavi, and addressing all the principles and design concepts essential to today's engineers, this is the ideal text for senior undergraduate and graduate-level students and professional engineers who aspire to excel in data converter analysis and design.
Analog Electronic Circuits is a core subject for the undergraduate students of Electronics and Communication, Instrumentation, Computer and Electrical Engineering. The subject is also a must read for other branches of engineering like mechanical and civil Engineering. This book aims to provide a detailed coverage of the subject area with emphasis on fundamental concepts. It is an ideal textbook on analog electronic circuits for the undergraduate students, and a reference book for the graduate students. It provides a comprehensive coverage of the subject matter in reader friendly, easy to comprehend language. It includes more than 170 solved examples, 390 practice problems, and 300 figures. It covers discussion on small-signal amplifiers, negative feedback in amplifiers, linear and non-linear applications of operational amplifiers. Practical approximations are used at many places to avoid rigorous analysis methods.
This practically-oriented, all-inclusive guide covers the essential concepts of power electronics through MATLAB® examples and simulations. In-depth explanation of important topics including digital control, power electronic applications, and electrical drives make it a valuable reference for readers.
