From the Back Cover
Your complete, all-in-one circuit sourcebook and troubleshooting guide. Expanding on the popular first volume of the McGraw-Hill Circuit Encyclopedia & Troubleshooting Guide, Volume 2 now offers you more than 700 additional integrated and discrete component circuits used in all areas of electronics-plus a wealth of new test/troubleshooting data. Whether you're an engineer, technician, or hobbyist, this authoritative encyclopedia will give you the circuit information you need in your work. Included are complete circuit designs with proven component values-details on how each circuit operates-and a precise description of how to design each circuit into electronic systems and equipment. You'll also find step-by-step guidelines for testing and troubleshooting every type of circuit listed.
Volume 2 of this valuable reference guide provides comprehensive coverage of audio-frequency circuits-basic amplifier circuits-RF and IF circuits-special-purpose circuits-power-supply/switching-regulator circuits-oscillator and generator circuits-digital circuits-power-supply/linear-regulator circuits-battery-power and micropower circuits-power-processing circuits-classic op-amp circits-OTA and Norton amplifier circuits-voltage/frequency circuits-temperature indicator/controller circuits-transducer/signal-conditioner circuits-and comparator circuits.
Organized according to circuit function for easy access to all information, this essential working tool also features substitution and cross-refernce tables to help locate substitute ICs, circuit sources with full mailing addresses, and more than 750 detailed illustrations and schematic drawings. If you work with electronic devices, this state-of-the-art guide will enable you to dramatically improve your knowledge of the latest circuits-and save time and money as well. The book will give you a solid grasp of hundreds of circuits used in every phase of electronics, and help you understand how these circuits work and fit into electronic equipment and systems.
