Book Description

ISBN-10: 0750641932 | ISBN-13: 978-0750641937 | Publication Date: January 11, 2000 | Edition: 2

Newnes Linear IC Pocket Book is aimed at all engineers, technicians, students and experimenters who can build a design directly from a circuit diagram. In a highly concise form Ray Marston presents a huge compendium of circuits that can be built as they appear, adapted or used as building blocks. The devices used have been carefully chosen for their ease of availability and reasonable price. The selection of devices has been thoroughly reviewed for the second edition, which contains approximately 350 new diagrams.

Marston deals mainly with strictly-linear ICs such as op-amps, pre-amplifiers, power amplifiers, signal-conditioners and power supply regulators, as well as various hybrid types: the 555 timer IC, bar-graph display drivers, CCD delay lines, function or wave form generators, phase-locked loops and power control ICs. The subjects are treated in an easy-to-read, highly practical manner with a minimum of mathematics.

Ray Marston has proved, through hundreds of circuits articles and books, that he is one of the world's leading circuit designers and writers. He has written extensively for Electronics World, Nuts and Bolts, Electronics and Beyond, Popular Electronics, Electronics Now, Electronics Today International, and Electronics Australia, amongst others.


All parts readily available from major suppliers.
Packed with ready-to-build circuit designs.
Handy reference for hobbyists, students and circuit designers.

This review is from: Newnes Linear IC Pocket Book, Second Edition: Newnes Electronic Circuits Pocket Book, vol. 1 (Newnes Pocket Books) (Hardcover)

I have been involved with electronics as a hobbyist for over thirty years on and off. I own a book from 1985 authored by Mr. Marston. I still read it for his clear, concise and straightforward format. I purchased another book in this current series, 'Passive and Discrete Circuits' from Newnes Pocket Books-Electronics Circuits Pocket Book. It is a small format but it is justified when you see the volume of information contained. You can delve into theory of operation or just build some circuits knowing you have the info to modify, expand and create more complex circuits. If this book was in a larger format it would probably sell for fifty dollars. The size itself I find an asset. It is easily taken with you to read anywhere and has a tough cover to protect it's contents. Truly one of the best electronic books I have purchased at Amazon. The 'Linear IC' book in the series has slightly larger print than that of 'Passive and Discrete Circuits'. I am so impressed with this format from Newnes and the author; I also ordered the other volume in the series 'Digital Logic IC Pocket Book'

Mr. Marston offers a good mix of circuits and theory. If your just looking for circuits to build and move on, your better off with some of the Forrest Mimms's books. If your looking for circuits to build with the info available to modify and design for yourself this is a better purchase.
