Textbook in PDF format

This book offers a subject coverage that is fairly typical for texts aimed at the postsecondary school market. The organization of each circuits chapter, however, is very consistent and provides the following information on each circuit presented:
1. Theory of operation. A discussion that describes what the circuit does, explains why it behaves the way it does, and identifies the purpose of each
component. This section contains no mathematics, promotes an intuitive understanding of circuit operation, and is based on an application of basic
electronics principles such as series and parallel circuits, Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Laws, and so on.
2. Numerical analysis. Techniques are presented that allow calculation of most key circuit parameters for an existing op amp circuit design. The mathematics is strictly limited to basic algebra and does not require (although it permits) the use of complex numbers.
3. Practical design. A sequential design procedure is described that is based on the preceding numerical analysis and application of basic electronics
principles. The goals of each design are contrasted with the actual circuit performance measured in laboratory tests.
In addition to presenting these areas for each type of circuit, each circuits chapter has a discussion of troubleshooting techniques as they apply to the type of circuits discussed in that particular chapter
