Basic AC Circuits, 2/E is a step-by-step approach to AC circuit
technology for the beginning student, hobbyist, technician, or
engineer. The book is built into a series of self-paced,
individualized learning goals covering electronics concepts, terms
and the mathematics required to fully understand AC circuit
problems--simple or complex. Each chapter includes learning
objectives, fully-illustrated examples, practice problems and
quizzes providing teachers, trainers and students a complete AC
technology resource. Basic AC Circuits, 2/E has been a staple of
the electronics educational market since 1981, but in the new
edition the author has updated the book to reflect changes in
technology, especially the test equipment available today.
Here it is--a collection of Forrest Mims's classic work from the
original Popular Electronics magazine Using commonly available
components and remarkable ingenuity, Forrest shows you how to build
and experiment with circuits like these:
Since publication of the first edition in 1988 many significant advances have occurred in IC chips that have driven the hybrid packaging processes toward even higher densities and greater performance. The almost exponential increase in density, complexity, and performance of integrated circuits over the past ten years (for example, ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), VHSIC (Very High Speed IC), VLSIC (Very Large Scale IC), and ULSIC (Ultra Large Scale IC) have driven developments in the interconnect substrates culminating in what is now known as multichip modules (MCM). However, the fundamentals of design, fabrication, and testing of MCMs are essentially the same as for hybrid microcircuit. In the authors' opinion MCMs are extensions of hybrid circuits that can accommodate the new generation of high-speed high-performance chips. In this revised edition they have therefore expanded their treatment of hybrid circuits without finding it necessary to change the fundamentals. They have included a separate chapter on multichip modules and throughout the book have included new and emerging materials and processes that are beginning to be used. Examples include: metal-matrix composites and aluminum nitride as substrate materials, plastic encapsulated microcircuits and chip-on-board as low-cost alternatives to hermetic sealed packages, atmospheric friendly cleaning solvents and methods, and advanced high I/O density quad flat packages (QFP) and ball grid array (BGA) packages. Since the first edition, there have also been tremendous advances in software programs for thermal and electrical analysis and these are also treated in this new edition. The abbreviated Table ofContents below includes the chapter titles and selected sub-headings.
The AVR RISC Microcontroller Handbook is a comprehensive guide to
designing with Atmel's new controller family, which is designed to
offer high speed and low power consumption at a lower cost. The
main text is divided into three sections: hardware, which covers
all internal peripherals; software, which covers programming and
the instruction set; and tools, which explains using Atmel's
Assembler and Simulator (available on the Web) as well as IAR's C
compiler.

towards background noise reduction. If that wasn t enough, there s
more explanation, more measurements, more references, and plenty of
new one-liners, any one of which might save hours of trouble.
Simplified Design of Data Converters shows how to design and
experiment with data converters, both analog-to-digital and digital
to analog. The design approach here is the same one used in all of
John Lenk's best-selling books on simplified and practical design.
Throughout the book, design problems start with guidelines for
selecting all components on a trial-value basis, assuming a
specific design goal and set of conditions. Then, using the
guideline values in experimental circuits, the desired results are
produced by varying the experimental component values, if needed.
The relevant techniques, vocabulary, currently available hardware architectures, and programming languages which provide the basic concepts of parallel computing are introduced in this book. In the future, we can expect to see massively parallel teraflop machines. These machines will be supported by gigabit network which allow grand-challenge problems to be solved by using several supercomputers and parallel machines concurrently.

Arthur Kay s exciting new publication is a must have for practicing, professional electrical engineers. This comprehensive guide shows engineers how to design amplifiers and associated electronics to minimize noise, providing tricks, rules-of-thumb, and analysis to create successful low noise circuits. Forget the classical textbook traps of equations, virtual grounds, and a lot of double-speak, the novel but educational presentation used here uses definition-by -example and straight-forward analysis. This is the ultimate reference book for engineers who don't have the time to read, since the concepts are presented in detailed pictures and then repeated in the text for those who like both. Operational amplifiers play a vital role in modern electronics
design. Today, op amps serve as the interfaces between the digital
world of microprocessors, microcontrollers, and other digital
circuits and the analog "real world." If an analog signal must be
amplified, conditioned, filtered, or converted to be used by a
digital system, an op amp is almost always involved. Noise is an
unwanted signal that will corrupt or distort the desired signal,
and veteran engineers as well as new college graduates are often
faced with a lack of experience in noise analysis for operational
amplifiers. The author has created a publication that is packed
with essential information, while still being accessible to all
readers.
PIC Microcontrollers are a favorite in industry and with hobbyists.
These microcontrollers are versatile, simple, and low cost making
them perfect for many different applications. The 8-bit PIC is
widely used in consumer electronic goods, office automation, and
personal projects. Author, Dogan Ibrahim, author of several PIC
books has now written a book using the PIC18 family of
microcontrollers to create projects with SD cards.
PIC microcontrollers are used worldwide in commercial and
industrial devices. The 8-bit PIC which this book focuses on is a
versatile work horse that completes many designs. An engineer
working with applications that include a microcontroller will no
doubt come across the PIC sooner rather than later. It is a must to
have a working knowledge of this 8-bit technology.
This book enables design engineers to be more effective in
designing discrete and integrated circuits by helping them
understand the role of analog devices in their circuit design.
Analog elements are at the heart of many important functions in
both discrete and integrated circuits, but from a design
perspective the analog components are often the most difficult to
understand. Examples include operational amplifiers, D/A and A/D
converters and active filters. Effective circuit design requires a
strong understanding of the operation of these analog devices and
how they affect circuit design.
