Tooley M. Electronic Circuits: Fundamentals & Applications

New York: Newnes, 2006. — 430 p. — ISBN13: 978-0-75-066923-8, ISBN10: 0-75-066923-3.Electronic Circuits is a unique combination of a comprehensive reference text and a practical electronics handbook in one volume. Mike Tooley provides all the essential information required to get to grips with the fundamentals of electronics, detailing the underpinning knowledge necessary to appreciate the operation of a wide range of electronic circuits, including amplifiers, logic circuits, power supplies and oscillators.
The third edition now offers an even more extensive range of topics, with extended coverage of practical areas such as circuit construction and fault finding, and new topics including circuit simulation, electronic CAD and a brand new chapter devoted to the PIC microcontroller.A word about safety.
