Instead, it tells you-and shows you-what basic and advanced electronics parts and components do, and how they work. Chock-full of illustrations, Practical Electronics for Inventors offers over 750 hand-drawn images that provide clear, detailed instructions that can help turn theoretical ideas into real-life inventions and gadgets. CRYSTAL CLEAR AND COMPREHENSIVE Covering the entire field of electronics, from basics through analog and digital, AC and DC, integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductors, stepper motors and servos, LCD displays, and various input/output devices, this guide even includes a full chapter on the latest microcontrollers. A favorite memory-jogger for working electronics engineers, Practical Electronics for Inventors is also the ideal manual for those just getting started in circuit design. If you want to succeed in turning your ideas into workable electronic gadgets and inventions, is THE book. Starting with a light review of electronics history, physics, and math, the book provides an easy-to-understand overview of all major electronic elements, including: Basic passive components o Resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers o Discrete passive circuits o Current-limiting networks, voltage dividers, filter circuits, attenuators o Discrete active devices o Diodes, transistors, thrysistors o Microcontrollers o Rectifiers, amplifiers, modulators, mixers, voltage regulators ENTHUSIASTIC READERS HELPED US MAKE THIS BOOK EVEN BETTER This revised, improved, and completely updated second edition reflects suggestions offered by the loyal hobbyists and inventors who made the first edition a bestseller. Reader-suggested improvements in this guide include: Thoroughly expanded and improved theory chapter New sections covering test equipment, optoelectronics, microcontroller circuits, and more New and revised drawings Answered problems throughout the book Practical Electronics for Inventors takes you through reading schematics, building and testing prototypes, purchasing electronic components, and safe work practices. You'll find all thisin a guide that's destined to get your creative-and inventive-juices flowing. never seen... electronics book this complete with such... breadth... well written... often... first source I turn to... encyclopedia for hobbyists.

Then programmer. now inventor. I checked out the first edition at the library and was so impressed with it that I got online and bought the second edition. It is absolutely great! I'm looking for breadth, not some full-of-himself-professors rambling about some nit pick point. This book delivers. The only omissions I have found so far (not errors) is the omission of Diffused channel FET's (which operate in both enhancement mode AND depletion ... Read More Rating - Broad, deep, practical As someone with a technical background, but little knowledge or experience with electronics who is seeking to design and build some special purpose circuits, this is a perfect book. It is well written and very readable (a major plus). It covers the basics, and expands on them to cover some advanced principles. It is well indexed so finding topics is easy. It has a wealth of knowledge on almost every facet of modern electronics. This book provides a broad background, and deep and practical knowledge of ... Read More Rating - technician/electronic hobbiest opinion.... This book is written in a very simple to understand format with lots of useful charts and diagrams. A very good book for visual learners. It is a good resource book for technicians, as well as a good introduction/refresher course in electronic fundamentals. As with any books in the electronics field a very solid foundation in algebra is a must, and knowledge in calculus is helpful... I wish more of my college texts were written in this type of format and easy to understand language. I am looking forward to more books written ... Read More Rating - Irritating errors. Otherwise excellent resource. About 10% of the figures seem to contain errors. Some trivial (like units) and others more unacceptable (Op-amp oscillator in figure 9.2 has + and - inputs the wrong way round). This is not the 1st edition, so many errors of a sometimes critical nature is simply shoddy work. Conceptually it is a truly excellent resource of >900 pages. No strangely named circuits or jargon are left untouched. V. broad coverage of topics. Finally, some explanations of how circuits work. I'm astonished by the casual way ... Read More Rating - Practical Electronics This book is great, very straightforward and hands-on. There is just enough theory to understand electronics fundamentals if you really want to read through it. If your just looking for some sample projects to try or to tweak, this book provides some too. Provides plenty of troubleshooting tips. see more reviews See all books by author Paul Scherz
