And you'll be VERY surprised at how many of those you've seen published in various projects over the years. This book is a rare jem indeed. Herewith is the table of contents to varying detail.... The Art of Electronics, Horowitz and Hill Chapter 1 FOUNDATIONS Voltage Current and Resistance Signals Capacitors and AC Circuits Inductors and Transformers Impedance and Reactance Diodes and Diode Circuits Other Passive Components Chapter 2 TRANSISTORS Some Basic Transistor Circuits Ebers-Moll model applied to basic transistor circuits Some amplifier building blocks Some typical transistor circuits Self-explanatory circuits Good Circuits BAD Circuits Chapter 3 FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTORS Chapter 4 FEEDBACK AND OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS Chapter 5 ACTIVE FILTERS AND OSCILLATORS Chapter 6 VOLTAGE REGULATORS AND POWER SUPPLIES Chapter 7 PRECISION CIRCUITS AND LOW-NOISE TECHNIQUES Chapter 8 DIGITAL ELECTRONICS Chapter 9 DIGITAL MEETS ANALOG Chapter 10 MICROCOMPUTERS Chapter 11 MICROPROCESSORS A detailed look at the 68008 A compete design example: analog signal averager Microprocesor support chipts Chapter 12 ELECTRONIC CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES Chapter 13 HIGH-FREQUENCY AND HIGH-SPEED TECHNIQUES Chapter 14 LOW-POWER DESIGN Chapter 15 MEASUREMENTS AND SIGNAL PROCESSING Appendix A The oscilloscope Appendix B Math review Appendix C The 5% resistor color code Appendix D 1% precision resistor values Appendix E How to draw schematic diagrams Appendix F Load lines Appendix G Transistor saturation Appendix H LC Butterworth filters Appendix I Electronics magazines and journals Appendix J IC prefixes Appendix K Selected data sheets
