Beginning with basics of general circuit laws and resistor circuits to ease
students into the subject, the textbook then covers a wide range of topics,
from passive circuits through to semiconductor-based analog circuits and
basic digital circuits. Using a balance of thorough analysis and insight,
readers are shown how to work with electronic circuits and apply the
techniques they have learnt. The textbook’s structure makes it useful as a
self-study introduction to the subject. All mathematics is kept to a suitable
level, and there are several exercises throughout the book. Solutions for
instructors, together with eight laboratory exercises that parallel the text, are
available online at www.cambridge.org/Eggleston.

A professor of mine once opined that the best working experimentalists tended to
have a good grasp of basic electronics. Experimental data often come in the form of
electronic signals, and one needs to understand how to acquire and manipulate such
signals properly. Indeed, in graduate school, everyone had a story about a budding
scientist who got very excited about some new result, only to later discover that the
result was just an artifact of the electronics they were using (or misusing!). In addition,
most research labs these days have at least a few homemade circuits, often because
the desired electronic function is either not available commercially or is prohibitively
expensive. Other anecdotes could be added, but these suffice to illustrate the utility of
understanding basic electronics for the working scientist.
On the other hand, the sheer volume of information on electronics makes learning the
subject a daunting task. Electronics is a multi-hundred billion dollar a year industry, and
new products of ever-increasing specialization are developed regularly. Some introduc-
tory electronics texts are longer than introductory physics texts, and the print catalog for
one national electronic parts distributor exceeds two thousand pages (with tiny fonts!).
Finally, the undergraduate curriculum for most science and engineering majors
(excepting, of course, electrical engineering) does not have much space for the study
of electronics. For many science students, formal study of electronics is limited to
the coverage of voltage, current, and passive components (resistors, capacitors, and
inductors) in introductory physics. A dedicated course in electronics, if it exists, is
usually limited to one semester.
This text grew out of my attempts to deal with this three-fold challenge. It is based
on my notes for a one-semester course on electronics I have taught for many years in
the Physics Department of Occidental College. The students in the course are typically
sophomore, junior, or senior students majoring in physics or pre-engineering, with
some from the other sciences and mathematics. The students have usually had at least
two introductory physics courses and two semesters of calculus.
The primary challenge of such a course is to select the topics to include. My choices
for this text have been guided by several principles: I wanted the text to be a rigorous,
self-contained, one-semester introduction to basic analog and digital electronics. It
should start with basic concepts and at least touch upon the major topics. I also let
the choice of material be guided by those topics I thought were fundamental or have
found useful during my career as a researcher in experimental plasma physics. Finally,
xii Preface
I wanted the text to emphasize learning how to work with electronics through analysis
rather than copying examples.
Chapters 1 and 2 start with basic concepts and cover the three passive components.
Key concepts such as Thevenin’s theorem, time- and frequency-domain analysis, and
complex impedances are introduced. Chapter 3 uses the band theory of solids to explain
semiconductor diode operation and shows how the diode and its cousins can be used in
circuits. The use of the load line to solve the transcendental equations arising from the
diode’s non-linear I–V characteristic is introduced, as well as common approximation
techniques. The fundamentals of power supply construction are also introduced in this
chapter.
Bipolar junction transistors and field-effect transistors are covered in Chapters 4
and 5. Basic switching and amplifier circuits are analyzed and transistor AC equivalents
are used to derive the voltage and current gain as well as the input and output impedance
of the amplifiers. A discussion of feedback in Chapter 4 leads into the study of
operational amplifiers in Chapter 6. Linear and non-linear circuits are analyzed and the
limitations of real op-amps detailed.
Several examples of relaxation and sinusoidal oscillators are studied in Chapter 7,
with time-domain analysis used for the former and frequency-domain analysis used for
the latter. Amplitude- and frequency-modulation are introduced as oscillator applica-
tions. Finally, a number of basic digital circuits and devices are discussed in Chapter 8.
These include the logic gates, flip-flops, counters, shift-registers, A/D and D/A con-
verters, multiplexers, and memory chips. Although the digital universe is much larger
than this (and expanding!), these seem sufficient to give a laboratory scientist a working
knowledge of this universe and lay the foundation for further study.
Exercises are given at the end of each chapter along with texts for further study.
I recommend doing all of the exercises. While simple plug-in problems are avoided,
I have found that most students will rise to the challenge of applying the techniques
studied in the text to non-trivial problems. Answers to some of the problems are given
in Appendix A, and a solution manual is available to instructors.
At Occidental this course is accompanied by a laboratory, and I enthusiastically
recommend such a structure. In addition to teaching a variety of laboratory skills,
an instructional laboratory in electronics allows the student to connect the analytical
approach of the text to the real world. A set of laboratory exercises that I have used is
available from the publisher.

Preface xiii
“I have been frustrated in the past by my inability to find a suitable book for a one-
semester Electronics course that starts with analog and progresses to basic digital
circuits. Most available books seem to be out of date or aimed at electrical engineers
rather than scientists. Eggleston’s book is exactly what I was looking for – a basic
course ideal for science students needing a practical introduction to electronics. Written
concisely and clearly, the book emphasizes many practical applications, but with
sufficient theoretical explanation so that the results don’t simply appear out of thin air.”

dans un coin de l’atelier, un mannequin revêtu d’une robe de femme.
—Prête-moi ce mannequin? dit-il à l’artiste.
—Pourquoi faire?
—Je n’en sais rien; mais laisse-moi l’emporter.
—Volontiers, répond le peintre, habitué sans doute aux
excentricités du cor.
Et Vivier s’en va bras dessus bras dessous avec le mannequin.
Il était onze heures. Le dernier omnibus était sur le point de
partir. Il n’y avait personne dedans. Le cocher dormait sur son siége;
le conducteur battait la semelle sur le trottoir.
Vivier monte avec son mannequin et s’installe dans les places du
fond. Grâce à la demi-obscurité, le mannequin, assis comme une
personne naturelle, faisait illusion.
L’omnibus s’emplit peu à peu. On part.
—Pour deux personnes! dit Vivier en passant douze sous au
conducteur.
Dix minutes après, arrivé devant sa porte, il descend, laissant le
mannequin dans la voiture,—sans s’embarrasser de la surprise et de
l’effroi que celui-ci doit y causer tôt ou tard.

B.... aussi, le long acteur B...., fournit un joli contingent
d’historiettes. Elles sont un peu vives, par exemple, et bonnes à
émettre seulement à la campagne.
Rappeler entre autres,—avec des circonlocutions,—une entrevue
avec un de ses directeurs. B.... sollicitait de lui une avance. Le
directeur refusait; B.... insistait avec douceur; le directeur persistait
avec dureté.
A la fin, lassé, mais sans rien perdre de son flegme, B.... fit un
geste terrible, et lui dit:
—Vous allez m’avancer mon mois à l’instant, ou je... dans votre
cabinet!
