Book Reviews of Electronic Devices and Amplifier Circuits with MATLAB Applications
Book Review: Awesome. 10 stars.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book lays out the many concepts of all of the common devices, clearly. I have the signals book from this author as well, and both books are extremely impressive in my opinion. It's really hard to find good textbooks for school, and the "required" texts usualy stink, and are filled with explanations that are written to impress. This book is not like that at all, everything is clear and concise, tables and diagrams here and there sum up the past pages throughout the book. I'd give this book 10 stars if I could, when you buy this book you're also supporting a GOOD business, a business that's interested in making your process of "getting learnt" easier!

Summary of Electronic Devices and Amplifier Circuits with MATLAB Applications
This text describes just about all semiconductor devices and their industrial applications illustrated with numerous practical examples. It includes the following chapters and appendices:o Basic Electronic Concepts and Signals
o Introduction to Semiconductor Electronics - Diodes
o Bipolar Transistors
o Field Effect Transistors and PNPN Devices
o Operational Amplifiers
o Integrated Circuits
o Pulse Circuits and Waveform Generators
o Frequency Characteristics of Single Stage and Cascaded Amplifiers
o Tuned Amplifiers
o Sinusoidal Oscillators
o Introduction to MATLAB?
o Compensated Attenuators
o The Substitution, Reduction, and Miller's Theorems
Each chapter contains numerous practical applications supplemented with detailed instructions for using MATLAB? to obtain accurate and quick solutions.
This book is an undergraduate level textbook presenting a thorough discussion of state-of-the art electronic devices. It is self-contained; it begins with an introduction to solid state semiconductor devices. The prerequisites for this text are first year calculus and physics, and a two-semester course in circuit analysis including the fundamental theorems and the Laplace transformation. No previous knowledge of MATLAB?is required; the material in Appendix A and the inexpensive MATLAB Student Version is all the reader needs to get going. This text can also be used without MATLAB. This is our fourth electrical and computer engineering-based text with MATLAB applications. Our texts are very popular with students and working professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge and prepare for the professional engineering examination. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the nature of small signals used in electronic devices, amplifiers, definitions of decibels, bandwidth, poles and zeros, stability, transfer functions, and Bode plots. Chapter 2 is an introduction to solid state electronics beginning with simple explanations of electron and hole movement. This chapter provides a thorough discussion on the junction diode and its volt-ampere characteristics. In most cases, the non-linear characteristics are plotted with simple MATLAB scripts. The discussion concludes with diode applications, the Zener, Schottky, tunnel, and varactor diodes, and optoelectronics devices. Chapters 3 and 4 are devoted to bipolar junction transistors and FETs respectively, and many examples with detailed solutions are provided. Chapter 5 is a long chapter on op amps. Many op amp circuits are presented and their applications are well illustrated. The highlight of this text is Chapter 6 on integrated devices used in logic circuits. The internal construction and operation of the TTL, NMOS, PMOS, CMOS, ECL, and the biCMOS families of those devices are fully discussed. Moreover, the interpretation of the most important parameters listed in the manufacturers data sheets are explained in detail. Chapter 7 is an introduction to pulse circuits and waveform generators. There, we discuss the 555 Timer, the astable, monostable, and bistable multivibrators, and the Schmitt trigger. Chapter 8 discusses to the frequency characteristic of single-stage and cascade amplifiers, and Chapter 9 is devoted to tuned amplifiers. Sinusoidal oscillators are introduced in Chapter 10. There are also three appendices in this text. Appendix A is an introduction to MATLAB. Appendix B is an introduction to uncompensated and compensated networks, and Appendix C discusses the substitution, reduction, and Miller's theorems.
