Clipper Clamper book recommendation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a comprehensive resource on clippers and clampers in electronic circuits, specifically recommending "A Practical Introduction to Electronic Circuits" by Martin Hartley Jones. The user expresses dissatisfaction with "Electronic Devices and Circuits" by Boylestad due to its limited examples and focus on ideal diodes. The recommendation emphasizes the importance of including silicon and germanium diodes in practical examples to better prepare for exams involving complex circuits.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic electronic components, specifically diodes.
  • Familiarity with clippers and clampers in circuit design.
  • Knowledge of pulse handling and time constants in electronics.
  • Ability to analyze circuit diagrams and examples.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "A Practical Introduction to Electronic Circuits" by Martin Hartley Jones for detailed examples of clippers and clampers.
  • Study the characteristics and applications of silicon and germanium diodes in circuit design.
  • Explore advanced circuit analysis techniques for multi-diode configurations.
  • Review additional textbooks or resources that cover practical applications of clippers and clampers.
USEFUL FOR

Electronics students, educators, and hobbyists seeking to deepen their understanding of clippers and clampers in circuit design, particularly those preparing for exams involving complex diode configurations.

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.

Chapter 10 - pulse handling and time constants in

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