Recommended text book, but may be a little advanced at this stage. The students should not get discouraged for not being able to follow this book properly.

Consider buying one of these twoas a general reference book in Electronics

You will find many copies of this book in the library

Course Introduction

Semiconductor DevicesStudents learn about diodes, transistors and related circuits

Electronic Circuit IEnhance the knowledge by exposing the students to larger and more complex circuits

Course Introduction (contd.)

Students have already acquired the concept of op-amp and its simple applications

Electronic Circuit I deals with various aspects of op-amp in detail including its internal circuitry

Electronic Circuit I also covers widely applied electronic blocks such as power supplies, power amplifiers and oscillators

Course Introduction (contd.)

Circuit Theory in Electronics is highly inter-related

Students are required to possess adequate fundamental knowledge to fully understand this subject

Refresh understanding of circuit theory by revising topics on diodes, transistors, op-amp, frequency response

Course Introduction (contd.)

In the lack of sufficient background, this subject may prove to be extremely difficult

BUTonce you have the foundation, this is one of the most exciting areas of Electronics to explore!
