    • English
    Electronic Circuit Design Ideas covers a wide variety of electronic circuit design, which consists of a circuit diagram, waveforms, and an explanation of how the circuit works. This text contains 14 chapters and starts with a review of the principles of digital circuits and interface circuits frequently used in circuit design. The next chapters describe the commonly used timer, op-amp, and amplifier circuits. Other chapters present some examples of waveform generators and oscillators used in circuit design. This work also looks into other classifications of circuits, including phase-locked loop, power-supply, and voltage regulator circuits. The final chapters are devoted to the methods of controlling DC servomotors and stepper motors. These chapters also examine other design ideas, specifically the use of slotted optical sensor based revolution detector, photodiode and magnetic transducer detector, and FSK circuit. This book will prove useful to electrical engineers, electronics professionals, hobbyists, and students.

  • Operational Amplifier Circuits

    Analysis and Design
    • 1st Edition
    • J C C Nelson
    • English
    This book, a revised and updated version of the author's Basic Operational Amplifiers (Butterworths 1986), enables the non-specialist to make effective use of readily available integrated circuit operational amplifiers for a range of applications, including instrumentation, signal generation and processing.It is assumed the reader has a background in the basic techniques of circuit analysis, particularly the use of j notation for reactive circuits, with a corresponding level of mathematical ability. The underlying theory is explained with sufficient but not excessive, detail. A range of computer programs provides assistance with the required calculations. The widespread availability of operational amplifiers in the form of low-cost integrated circuits means that today a modular approach to analog circuit design is possible. In many cases, a single operational amplifier in conjunction with a small number of passive components may be all that is required for a particular function.

  • Metallic Coatings for Corrosion Control

    Corrosion Control Series
    • 1st Edition
    • V. E. Carter
    • English
    Metallic Coatings for Corrosion Control describes how metal coatings can control corrosion, the selection process, preparations, suitability, limitations, and how coatings are applied. The book reviews the nature of corrosion, the forms of corrosion (even general, uneven general, even local, narrow pits, cracking), electrochemical mechanism of corrosion, effects of discontinuities in coatings, and economic considerations of coating. It describes pretreatments (such as removal of superficial corrosion, abrading, polishing), the coating processes (molten or spray application, chemical or vapor deposition, diffusion coating), and also coating performance. The rate of corrosion on different metals such as aluminum, cadmium, copper, gold, silver, or tin depends on the presence of an oxide film, solubility, electrodeposits, or tarnish blackening. Gold is resistant to corrosion and tarnishing except in aqua regia. The book recommends the following when the engineer is selecting a type of coating: the environment where it is exposed, the service life required, the substrate material, shape or size of the article, its decorative appeal, mechanical factors, and if there will be any subsequent fabrication. The book is useful for students of civil, structural, and mechanical engineering. Designers and technicians of industrial machinery or maritime equipment will also profit from reading it.
