Principles of Analog Electronics

xvii

Preface

A

nyone who knows electronics can create new ideas, and this book explores

that possibility by focusing on analog electronics. This is because in the real

world, signals are mostly analog, spanning continuously varying values, so

that circuits interfaced with the physical world have an analog nature, to process

analog signals.

The fascinating area of analog “grows” to overlap fundamental areas (elds,

circuits, signals and systems, and semiconductors), here morphed into a

self-consistent comprehensive book. This approach leads to a text that captures

the big picture, while still providing the necessary details, to reduce knowledge ...
