Diode, transistor & FET circuits manual - R. M Marston

This book is primarily a manual of circuits based on "discrete" semiconductor components such as diodes, transistors, FETs, and associated devices, and as such, it presents a total of over 340 carefully selected and useful practical circuits, diagrams, graphs and tables.;The manual is divided into four sections, and a total of twelve chapters headings. The first chapter deals with ordinary diode and rectifier circuits, and the second with special diodes such as zeners, varicaps, and photo-sensitive and light-emitting types. The second section comprises five chapters (Chapters 3 to 7) and deals with modern bipolar transistors. The third comprises four chapters (chapters 8 to 11) and deals with major types of field-effect transistor (including the JFET, MOSFET and VMOS). The final chapter deals with the unijunction transistor (UJT) and some of its thyristor counterparts (such as the PUT, SUS and SCS).;The book is specifically aimed at the practical design engineer, technician, and experimenter, but will also be of interest to the electronics student and the amateur.
