Practical Electronics for Inventors

162004 has been a terrific year so far for the TAB Electronics/Robotics line of books. Electronics hobbyists and students are buying more books than ever, and we ve had a LOT of success with some of our early project books (our new Evil Genius series is doing particularly well). By adding projects and sample problems to this great seller, we should have an even stronger potential to sell this book like crazy.The first edition of Practical Electronics for Inventors was phenomenally successful and popular among electronics hobbyists and tinkerers. This is a fairly tight group, and when they noticed some errors in the book, they were fairly vocal in wanting to see errata. The result? A new and improved book that has been completely updated, with several readers suggestions for improvement incorporated inside errors have been fixed, drawings replaced, new information included, whole new sections added (modern computers, object-oriented microcontrollers, transducers, projects, etc.), as16well as sample problems placed at the end of each chapter. These new additions will make this title even MORE appealing to the loyal market.04Chapter 1: Introduction to Electronics Chapter 2: Theory Chapter 3: Basic Electronic Circuit Components Chapter 4: Semiconductors Chapter 5: Optoelectronics Chapter 6: Integrated Circuits Chapter 7: Operational Amplifiers Chapter 8: Filters Chapter 9: Oscillators and Timers Chapter 10: Voltage Regulators and Power Supplies Chapter 11: Audio Electronics Chapter 12: Digital Electronics Chapter 13: DC Motors, RC Servos, and Stepper Motors Chapter 14: Hands-on Electronics Appendix A: Power Distribution and Home Wiring Appendix B: Error Analysis Appendix C: Useful Facts and Formulas Appendix D: Component Data, List of Logic ICs, Foreign Semiconductor Codes Appendix E: Microcontroller Circuits Index
