Circuit design and analysis forms an integral part of B. Sc. (Hons.) / M. Sc. Curricula in Physics. This book provides a concise and comprehensive account of this subject and should meet the requirements of Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students in Physics.

• • All circuits have been analyzed from first principles, thus the book can be used for self-study • Large number of solved examples in each chapter to facilitate understanding and analysis. In addition, there are about 150 problems with answers • Chapters are devoted to bring out the physical aspects of the devices, such as transistors and MOSFETs • A unique feature of the book is a chapter on IC fabrication technology • Numerous illustrations scattered through out the book. NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION: Several chapters in the second edition have been revised and material added for wider coverage. • A chapter on the basics and the emerging trends in Nano-Electronics included. • Discussion on field effect transistor fully revised. • Large number of problems (many with complete solutions) added. • A full section included on circuit applications of p-n diode. • Discussion on class C- amplifiers added in the chapter on Power Amplifiers.
