A Textbook of Electrical Technology B.L.THERAJA (Volume IV)
"A Textbook of Electrical Technology Volume IV" by B.L. Theraja and A.K. Theraja, published by S. Chand Publishing, is distinct from the other volumes as it primarily focuses on Electronic Devices and Circuits.
Here's a detailed overview of the topics covered in this volume:
- Semiconductor Physics: This lays the foundation by explaining the fundamental principles of semiconductor materials, which are crucial for understanding electronic devices.
- P-N Junction Diode: Comprehensive coverage of the P-N junction, its characteristics, operation, and various applications in rectification and other circuits.
- Optoelectronic Devices: Deals with devices that convert electrical energy into light or vice-versa, such as LEDs, photodiodes, and solar cells.
- Special Diodes: Explores various types of specialized diodes beyond the basic P-N junction, like Zener diodes, varactor diodes, tunnel diodes, etc., and their specific applications.
- D.C. Power Supplies: Covers the design and working of unregulated and regulated DC power supplies, including rectifier circuits, filters, and voltage regulators.
- Regulated Power Supply: Focuses specifically on the principles and different types of regulated power supplies, essential for providing stable DC voltage.
- Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT): In-depth analysis of BJTs, including their construction, operation, characteristics, biasing techniques, and different configurations (CB, CE, CC).
- Load Lines and DC Biased Circuits: Discusses how to analyze and design transistor biasing circuits using load lines to ensure proper operation.
- Transistor Equivalent Circuit and Models: Presents various equivalent circuits and models (e.g., h-parameters, re-model) used for analyzing transistor amplifier performance.
- Single-Stage Transistor Amplifiers: Covers the design and analysis of common single-stage transistor amplifier configurations.
- Multistage and Feedback Amplifiers: Explores how multiple amplifier stages are combined and the concept of feedback (positive and negative) in amplifiers.
- Field Effect Transistors (FETs): Covers JFETs and MOSFETs, their characteristics, biasing, and applications in amplification and switching.
- Breakdown Devices: Discusses devices that exhibit breakdown characteristics, such as SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers) and other thyristors.
- Sinusoidal and Non-sinusoidal Oscillators: Principles of oscillation, different types of sinusoidal oscillators (RC, LC, crystal), and circuits for generating non-sinusoidal waveforms.
- Modulation and Demodulation: Introduces the concepts of modulation (AM, FM, PM) and demodulation, which are fundamental in communication systems.
- Integrated Circuits (ICs): Provides an overview of integrated circuits, their fabrication, and various types.
- OP-AMP and its Applications: Detailed study of Operational Amplifiers (Op-Amps) and their wide range of applications in linear and non-linear circuits.
- Number Systems and Codes: Basic concepts of different number systems (binary, octal, hexadecimal) and various digital codes.
- Logic Gates: Introduction to fundamental digital logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR) and their truth tables.
- Boolean Algebra & Logic Families: Principles of Boolean algebra for logic circuit design and characteristics of different logic families (TTL, CMOS).
- Flip-Flops and Related Devices: Covers sequential logic circuits like flip-flops (SR, JK, D, T), registers, and counters.
- Electronic Instruments: An introduction to various electronic measuring instruments.
