Diode, Transistor and Fet Circuits Manual (Newnes Circuits Manual Series) [Paperback]

R. M. Marston (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0750602287 | ISBN-13: 978-0750602280 | Publication Date: October 1991

This book is primarily a manual of circuits based on "discrete" semiconductor components such as diodes, transistors, FETs, and associated devices, and as such, it presents a total of over 340 carefully selected and useful practical circuits, diagrams, graphs and tables. The manual is divided into four sections, and a total of twelve chapters headings. The first chapter deals with ordinary diode and rectifier circuits, and the second with special diodes such as zeners, varicaps, and photo-sensitive and light-emitting types. The second section comprises five chapters (Chapters 3 to 7) and deals with modern bipolar transistors. The third comprises four chapters (chapters 8 to 11) and deals with major types of field-effect transistor (including the JFET, MOSFET and VMOS). The final chapter deals with the unijunction transistor (UJT) and some of its thyristor counterparts (such as the PUT, SUS and SCS). The book is specifically aimed at the practical design engineer, technician, and experimenter, but will also be of interest to the electronics student and the amateur.

This review is from: Diode, Transistor and Fet Circuits Manual (Newnes Circuits Manual Series) (Paperback)

"...a manual of circuits based on 'discrete' semiconductor components, such as diodes, transistors, FETs, and associated devices, and as such it presents a total of over 340 carefully selected and outstandingly useful practical circuits, diagrams, graphs and tables. It deals with its subject in an easy-to-read, down-to-earth, non-mathematical but very comprehensive manner."

"All of the semiconductor devices used in the practical circuits are modestly priced and readily available types, with universally recognised type numbers."

"This is Ray Marston's eighth title in the series of Newnes Circuit Manuals. His magazine articles on circuit design are published regularly in Electronics today International in the UK and Radio-Electronics in the US."
