Frequency Response, Bode Plots, and Fourier Transform -- Second-Order RLC Circuits -- AC Power and Power Distribution -- Electric Transformer and Coupled Inductors -- Switching Circuits -- Analog to Digital Conversion -- Embedded Computing -- Electronic Diode and Diode Circuits -- Bipolar Junction Transistor and BJT Circuits -- MOS Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET).

This textbook provides comprehensive, in-depth coverage of the fundamental concepts of electrical and computer engineering. It is written from an engineering perspective, with special emphasis on circuit functionality and applications. Reliance on higher-level mathematics and physics, or theoretical proofs has been intentionally limited in order to prioritize the practical aspects of electrical engineering. This text is therefore suitable for a number of introductory circuit courses for other majors such as robotics, mechanical, biomedical, aerospace, civil, architecture, petroleum, and industrial engineering. The authors� primary goal is to teach the aspiring engineering student all fundamental tools needed to understand, analyze and design a wide range of practical circuits and systems. Their secondary goal is to provide a comprehensive reference, for both major and non-major students as well as practicing engineers. Provides a self-contained, fundamental textbook on electric circuits and basic electronics, designed to be accessible to students from a variety of engineering disciplines; Helps students to bridge their academic and industrial careers, including for example, answers to typical interview questions for an entry-level position in electrical engineering and circuit design; Includes over 1,500 figures, about 1,200 homework problems, and comprehensive summaries at the end of every chapter.
