Electronic Devices and Circuits, 2nd Ed.

Description

This book is designed based on revised R25 syllabus of JNTUH, Hyderabad for undergraduate (B. Tech/BE) students of all branches of engineering, those who study Electronic Devices and Circuits. This book provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of electronic devices and circuits, making it an indispensable resource for students of electronics and electrical engineering. Beginning with the basics of semiconductor physics and diodes, it gradually progresses to rectifiers, clippers, clampers, bipolar junction transistors, field-effect transistors and transistor amplifiers. The text carefully blends theoretical concepts with circuit analysis, switching behaviour and design considerations to strengthen both understanding and application.
Advanced topics such as MOSFETs, FinFETs, CNTFETs, Zener diodes, LEDs, photodiodes, UJTs, SCRs, Schottky diodes, solar cells, tunnel diodes and PIN diodes are also included, ensuring learners are well-versed with the devices shaping modern electronics. With its structured approach, the book bridges classroom learning with practical design, enabling students to confidently analyse and apply device characteristics in real-world circuits.
