1. Electronics Texts for Engineers and Scientists: Simulation in the Design of Digital Electronic Systems

   Electronic systems, including computers and telecommunications, are increasing rapidly in size and complexity. It is no longer practical to build an actual prototype. It is possible now, however, to simulate the design of a prototype without actually building the hardware. This book describes the structure of simulators suitable for use in the design of digital electronic systems. It includes the compiled code and event driven algorithms for digital electronic system simulators, together with timing verification. It also discusses limitations of the structures and problems of designing models. It also covers the subjects of testing and design for testability, and a major chapter is devoted to fault simulation. Finally, the text introduces hardware accelerators and modelers. The book is unique for covering simulation, fault simulation, timing verification, and model design in one place, and should make essential reading for electonic engineers involved in hardware design.

2. Analogue and Digital Electronics for Engineers

   An Introduction - The Second Edition of Electronics for Engineers

   • H. Ahmed

   • 304 pages
   • 11 hours of reading

   This new edition of Ahmed and Spreadbury's excellent textbook Electronics for Engineers provides, like the first edition, an introduction to electronic circuits covering the early part of degree level courses in electronics and electrical engineering. The text of the first edition has been entensively revised and supplemented to bring it up to date; two entirely new chapters have been added on the subject of digital electronics. A first chapter on the general principles of signal handling in electronic circuits is followed by descriptions of amplifiers using field-effect and bipolar transistors and integrated circuit op-amps, written from the point of view of the engineering student building up a system. Subsequent chapters discuss the principles of applying negative and positive feedback in amplifiers, leading the reader to the final two chapters covering digital circuits and their applications. All chapters conclude with a solved problem followed by a number of practice questions from various universities to which answers are given. This new edition, like the first, will prove a valuable text for first and second year courses in universities and polytechnics on electronics and electrical engineering and will be useful to practising engineers and scientists who need to use analogue and digital chips in the course of their work.
