Preface
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 need to get going. Our discussions are based on a PC
with Windows XP platforms but if you have another platform such as Macintosh, please refer to
the appropriate sections of the MATLAB’s User Guide which also contains instructions for
installation. Additional information including purchasing may be obtained from The MathWorks,
Inc., 3 Apple Hill Drive, Natick, MA 01760-2098. Phone: [phone], Fax: [phone], e-

without MATLAB.
This is our fourth electrical and computer engineering-based text with MATLAB applications.
My associates, contributors, and I have a mission to produce substance and yet inexpensive texts
for the average reader. Our first three texts* are very popular with students and working
professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge and prepare for the professional engineering
examination. We are working with limited resources and our small profits left after large discounts
to the bookstores and distributors, are reinvested in the production of more texts. To maintain
our retail prices as low as possible, we avoid expensive and fancy hardcovers.
The author and contributors make no claim to originality of content or of treatment, but have
taken care to present definitions, statements of physical laws, theorems, and problems.
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.
* These are Circuit Analysis I, ISBN 0-9709511-2-4, Circuit Analysis II, ISBN 0-9709511-5-9, and Signals
and Systems, ISBN 0-9709511-6-7.
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. As mentioned earlier, the first, 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.
A companion to this text, Logic Circuits, is nearly completion also. This text is devoted strictly on
Boolean logic, combinational and sequential circuits as interconnected logic gates and flip-flops,
an introduction to static and dynamic memory devices. and other related topics.
Like any other new text, the readers will probably find some mistakes and typo errors for which we
assume responsibility. We will be grateful to readers who direct these to our attention at
