Basic Electronics Devices, Circuits And It Fundamentals

This comprehensive and well-organized text discusses the fundamentals of electronic communication, such as devices and analog and digital circuits, which are so essential for an understanding of digital electronics. Professor Santiram Kal, with his wealth of knowledge and his years of teaching experience, compresses, within the covers of a single volume, all the aspects of electronics - both analog and digital - encompassing devices such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, fibre optics, and photonics. In so doing, he has struck a fine balance between analog and digital electronics.

1. Analyzes fundamental techniques of analog and digital communication.

2. Gives emphasis on digital electronics including ADC, DAC, data acquisition system and memory.

3. Highlights the role of fibre optics and photonics.

4. Discusses basic concepts of computer networking, database management, multimedia communication, e-commerce, and Internet.
