Discover the Secrets of Electronic Conduction, Devices, and Circuits with Applied Electronics Pdf

Textbook for two-quarter course on electronics. Designed around the lab projects, not the theory. Three main concepts: voltage dividers, complex impedance, and negative-feedback amplifiers. Includes blood-pressure, optical pulse monitor, EKG, and class-D power audio amplifier, among other projects. (Students in my class get free coupons.)

This textbook is for a first course on electronics. It assumes no prior electronics experience, but does assume that students have had calculus and high-school physics. Drafts of the book have been used for several years at UCSC. A key idea of the course is that students need a lot of design experience and hands-on work, rather than a lot of theory. The course is centered around the labs, which are a mix of design labs and measurement/modeling labs.

Kevin Karplus is a Professor Emeritus of Biomolecular Engineering at University of California, Santa Cruz, where he was formerly a Professor of Computer Engineering. His education is in math (B.S. and M.S.) and computer science (Ph.D.), but he has taught a wide variety of subjects, including VLSI design, discrete math, digital logic design, computer architecture, technical writing, desktop publishing, bioinformatics, and applied analog electronics. 2ff7e9595c
