A Systems Approach
Second Edition
Neil Storey

Updated to take account of changes in this ever more important field, this second edition of this popular text provides an engaging and accessible introduction to the principles of electronics.
Its systems-oriented approach is now accepted as an illuminating and motivational method of addressing the subject. Overall concepts are explained first, supplying the reader with the confidence and understanding needed to tackle the more detailed analysis which follows. This book also offers an integrated treatment of analogue and digital electronics, highlighting and exploring the common ground between the two fields.
Throughout the book, learning is reinforced by chapter objectives, end of chapter summaries, worked examples, exercises and tips for further reading. Every chapter also includes a comprehensive design case study linking theory to everyday practice. For this second edition of Electronics: A Systems Approach the author has added the following new features:
- a wealth of computer-based exercises suitable for all circuit-simulation software packages
- freely available online files containing numerous simulations
- a new section on programmable logic devices (PLDs)
- new material on the important topic of electromagnetic compatibility
- a new section on laboratory instruments describing oscilloscopes and digital multimeters
- a new appendix covering the IEC 617 symbols for logic elements
- even more worked examples and self-assessment exercises
Electronics: A Systems Approach is intended for undergraduate and diploma studentsin all fields of engineering and science. For students of electronics it provides a coherent and comprehensive set of material suitable for introductory courses in analogue and digital design. For students of other disciplines it covers most of the electronics material they will need for their courses.
