Circuits and Signals

Fundamental aspects of circuits and signals are discussed in this chapter. These aspects include sample applications of electronic circuits such as embedded systems with sensors and actuators, power supply units, particularly AC to DC converters, and communication systems. Additionally, basic information related to signals and their domains is discussed. This is followed by best practices to read and analyze electronic circuits in addition to unit conversions and logarithmic scales. Finally, feedback basics are presented along with Miller’s theorem.
