About the Book For close to 30 years, “A Textbook of Applied Electronics” has been a comprehensive text for undergraduate students of Electronics and Communications Engineering. The book comprises of 35 chapters, all delving on important concepts such as structure of solids, DC resistive circuits, PN junction, PN junction diode, rectifiers and filters, hybrid parameters, power amplifiers, sinusoidal oscillators, and time base circuits. In addition, the book consists of several chapter-wise questions and detailed diagrams to understand the complex concepts of applied electronics better. This book is also becomes an essential-read for aspirants preparing for competitive examinations like GATE and NET. Salient Features Concepts such as Gray code, Tristate gate, Duality principle, Karnaughmap (five-variable and six-variable), NMOS and CMOS Invertor and Binary multiplier circuit among others have been added to make the text current in nature Close to 1800 tables, examples and figures assist the concepts explained Close to 2400 questions provide ample practice thereby supporting the theory 1.
