Analog Electronics (Theory and Practice) is primarily meant for the UG students of Indian Technical Universities and Engineering Colleges. It will also serve as a Refresher for the working professional and competitive exam aspirants. This book presents detailed quantitative and qualitative descriptions of various modern electronic devices. The text is supported by a number of detailed sketches and circuit diagrams.

Electronics is that branch of engineering science which deals with the principles and practice of “Controlling the Flow of Electrons (and Holes)” in a circuit by means of electronic devices. The need for the control of the flow of current in a circuit is with the specific objective of accomplishing a certain function. For example, in an amplifier, the “function” is to be such that the magnitude of the output power be greater than that applied at the input. This requires an Electronic Device. The device required for amplification is a transistor. In addition to amplification, a transistor is also used as an electronic switch. Various combinations transistors, configured as electronic switches form Logic Gates, which are the basic building blocks of the digital computer. Another common device is a Diode, which is most commonly used for converting AC into DC. Moreover, there exist various types of transistors and diodes, used for various diverse purposes along with a large variety of other devices designed to accomplish a plethora of applications and gadgets. Various electronic devices are integrated in a single chip to form an IC. Use of ICs has made it possible of achieving the goal of miniaturization of the size and optimization of the cost of electronic devices. These are the attributes which the modern human race increasingly welcomes in one’s day to day life and work. Study of the modern electronic devices has to start with the study of Semiconductors.

Derivation steps of all the important relationships and formulae have been presented and the understanding of each one of them have been augmented with a number of worked out numericals. The contents of the book conforms to the latest AICTE Curriculum which is followed by all the leading technical universities of India.

About The Author:
The author, with 3 decades of teaching experience with Engineering Undergraduates feels that the average student is comfortable with a bit of Hand Holding in his foray into the world of Electronics. They tend to feel somewhat intimidated with the heavy dose of Physics and Math in most of the available Text Books. To this end, the author made it a practice to mail elaborate notes to his students at the end of each lesson. This book is essentially derived from these notes. Since the focus of the author has been the AICTE Model Curriculum, it is expected that this book will be highly useful as a Supplementary Text Book to the students in all Indian Universities. The aspirants of Competitive Exams and the working professionals as well as PG students too, can use this book as a refresher.
