Lipiansky E. Electrical, Electronics, and Digital Hardware Essentials for Scientists and Engineers

Hoboken, New Jersey: John Wiley & Sons, 2013. — 664 p. — (IEEE Press Series on Microelectronic Systems, 26). — ISBN 978-1-118-41454-5.Essentials for Scientists and Engineers arms engineers with the tools they need to test, evaluate, and solve circuit board problems. It explores a wide range of circuit analysis topics, supplementing the material with detailed circuit examples and extensive illustrations. The pros and cons of various methods of analysis, fundamental applications of electronic hardware, and issues in logic design are also thoroughly examined.The author draws on more than twenty-five years of experience in Silicon Valley to present a plethora of troubleshooting techniques readers can use in real-life situations. Plus, he devotes an entire chapter to the design of a small CPU, including all critical elements—the complete machine instruction set, from its execution path to logic implementation and timing analysis, along with power decoupling, resets, and clock considerations. Electrical, Electronics, and Digital Hardware Essentials for Scientists and Engineers covers:Resistors, inductors, and capacitors as well as a variety of analytical methods;
The elements of magnetism—an often overlooked topic in similar books;
Time domain and frequency analyses of circuit behavior;
Numerous electronics, from operational amplifiers to MOSFET transistors;
Both basic and advanced logic design principles and techniques.This remarkable, highly practical book is a must-have resource for solid state circuit engineers, semiconductor designers and engineers, electric circuit testing engineers, and anyone dealing with everyday circuit analysis problems.Preface.
