PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION Foundations for Electronics Engineering were laid as far back as 18 th Century when H.

A Lorentz postulated the existence of negatively charged particles called as Electrons. Since then the field of electronics engineering has developed rapidly. Advancement in this area was more rapid since 1970s, with Digital Electronics dominating over Analog Electronics, as was done by solid State Devices in 1960s over Vacuum Tubes. After the Industrial Revolution, it is Computer Revolution which is the astonishing Phenomenon, at the fag end of the 21st century. The next striking development could be computer communications. The research and development work done in the field of Semiconductor Devices and Technology contributed significantly for the miniaturization taking place in electronic systems and computers. Thus Electronics Engineering is a fascinating subject. Electronic Circuit Analysis is an important component of the broad are of Electronics and Communications Engineering. Electronic Circuit Analysis Design and Analysis aspects are dealt with in this book. Learning these topics is very essential for any electronics engineer. A student must study the subject, not just for the sake of passing the examination, but to learn the concepts. In this competitive world, to secure a job or to learn the concepts, proper effort must be made. This book is written with that motive. Any book written just for the sake of enabling the student to pass the examination will not fulfill its complete objective. Electronic Circuit Analysis is one of the fundamental subjects, which helps in I.C design, VLSI design etc. This textbook can also be used for M.Sc (Electronics), AMIETE, AMIE (Electronics) B.Sc (Electronics), Diploma courses in Electronics, Instrumentation Engineering and other courses where Electronics is one subject. So Students from Universities, Engineering Colleges and Polytechnics can use this book. Though efforts are made to minimize typing errors, printing mistakes and other topographical errors, still, there could be some omissions. The author and publishers will the thankful if such errors brought to notice for necessary correction. Many Textbooks are referred while writing this book. The author is thankful for them and their publishers. The author is thankful to Mr.Nikhil Shah for the encouragement given to write this book. The author is also thankful to Mr. Naresh, Mr. Prashantha, Mr.J. Das, Shri Raju and other staff of M/s. B.S Publications. The author is highly grateful to Prof.D.S Murthy, Head, ECE dept., Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering, Vizag, for his valuable suggestions. The author is also thankful to Mrs. Magala Gowari Assoc. Prof. Dept. of ECE, JNTU, Hyderabad Mr. P. Penchalaiah Assoc. Prof. Dept of ECE, Vignan Inst. Of science and Technology, Hyderabad and Mr. P. Ramana Reddy, APECE, JNTU CE, Hyderabad. Author is particularly thankful to Mr. P. Penchalaiah for his effort in minimizing printing mistakes. The author is also thanking to Ms. U.N.S Sravanthi and Ms. Srujana for the proof reading work. For a task like writing textbook, there is always scope for improvement and corrections. Suggestions are welcome. Knowledge shows the path Wisdom lights it up.
