Editorial Review: Product Description: THE BOOK THAT MAKES ELECTRONICS MAKE SENSE . This intuitive, applications-driven guide to electronics for hobbyists, engineers, and students doesn't overload readers with technical detail. Instead, it tells you-and shows you-what basic and advanced electronics parts and components do, and how they work. Chock-full of illustrations, Practical Electronics for Inventors offers over 750 hand-drawn images that provide clear, detailed instructions that can help turn theoretical ideas into real-life inventions and gadgets. . . CRYSTAL CLEAR AND COMPREHENSIVE . Covering the entire field of electronics, from basics through analog and digital, AC and DC, integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductors, stepper motors and servos, LCD displays, and various input/output devices, this guide even includes a full chapter on the latest microcontrollers. A favorite memory-jogger for working electronics engineers, Practical Electronics for Inventors is also the ideal manual for those just getting started in circuit design. If you want to succeed in turning your ideas into workable electronic gadgets and inventions, is THE book.. Starting with a light review of electronics history, physics, and math, the book provides an easy-to-understand overview of all major electronic elements, including:. Basic passive components o Resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers o Discrete passive circuits o Current-limiting networks, voltage dividers, filter circuits, attenuators o Discrete active devices o Diodes, transistors, thrysistors o Microcontrollers o Rectifiers, amplifiers, modulators, mixers, voltage regulators . . ENTHUSIASTIC READERS HELPED US MAKE THIS . BOOK EVEN BETTER . This revised, improved, and completely updated second edition reflects suggestions offered by the loyal hobbyists and inventors who made the first edition a bestseller. Reader-suggested improvements in this guide include:
Practical Electronics for Inventors takes you through reading schematics, building and testing prototypes, purchasing electronic components, and safe work practices. You'll find all thisin a guide that's destined to get your creative-and inventive-juices flowing. . Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Practical Electronics for InventorsThe book purchased arrived sooner than expected and clearly shows the distributor as willing to go above and beyond to meet the customers needs. Thanks! Rating:  - An okay resource if you look past the errorsJust got the second edition. Most of the errors are still there. Glaring math errors. Schematic errors. Simple Example: 100 Watts/12 Volts is NOT 0.8 Amps. It's 8.4 Amps. Nor is 1.5 Volts * .1 Amps = .1 Watts. Both of these errors appear on page 15. These are minor examples. There are many others that aren't so minor and will send you down the wrong path. The errors are frequent and irritating. Basically, this is a resource only useful to readers willing to double check every concept before applying ... Read More Rating: - well doneWell done Amazon! The product has been delivered in according with the estimated delivery date. I will soon purchase more products from yours. Rating: - Great for inventors30 years ago I was an electronics tech. Then programmer. now inventor. I checked out the first edition at the library and was so impressed with it that I got online and bought the second edition. It is absolutely great! I'm looking for breadth, not some full-of-himself-professors rambling about some nit pick point. This book delivers. The only omissions I have found so far (not errors) is the omission of Diffused channel FET's (which operate in both enhancement ... Read More Rating: - Broad, deep, practicalAs someone with a technical background, but little knowledge or experience with electronics who is seeking to design and build some special purpose circuits, this is a perfect book. It is well written and very readable (a major plus). It covers the basics, and expands on them to cover some advanced principles. It is well indexed so finding topics is easy. It has a wealth of knowledge on almost every facet of modern electronics. This book provides a broad background, and deep and practical ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
