Clipper Clamper book recommendation

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the need for better resources on clippers and clampers in electronic circuits, specifically seeking books that include real-world examples using silicon and germanium diodes. The current reference, "Electronic Devices and Circuits" by Boylestad, is criticized for its limited examples and reliance on ideal diodes. A suggestion is made to explore "A Practical Introduction to Electronic Circuits" by Martin Hartley Jones, which is noted for its relevant content. Additionally, visiting a library to review various texts is recommended as a helpful study strategy. Finding comprehensive materials on these topics is essential for mastering the complexities of clipper circuits.

I'm currently using Electronic devices and circuits by boylestad. My problem is that there aren't much examples about clippers and clampers, and it only uses ideal diodes and there is only one diode per circuit. Is there any book which has a good chapter about those devices. It should contain silicon diodes or gemanium diodes, not just ideal. I'm having trouble with these clipper circuits since my book uses very simple examples using one ideal diode per circuit, while my professor gives up exams with up to two silicon or germanium diodes.

One useful activity in studying any subject is to go down to the library and look through the texts on the subject for a particular point. You find out what is in them that way.

A practical introduction to electronic circuits by Martin Hartley Jones is good

Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
