Encyclopedia of Electronic Components, Volume 2: Signal Processing: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Encyclopedia of Electronic Components, Volume 2: Signal Processing" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Want to know how to use an electronic component? This second book of a three-volume set includes key information on electronics parts for your projects--complete with photographs, schematics, and diagrams. Youll learn what each one does, how it works, why its useful, and what variants exist. No matter how much you know about electronics, youll find fascinating details youve never come across before.
Perfect for teachers, hobbyists, engineers, and students of all ages, this reference puts reliable, fact-checked information right at your fingertips--whether youre refreshing your memory or exploring a component for the first time. Beginners will quickly grasp important concepts, and more experienced users will find the specific details their projects require.
Volume 2 covers signal processing, including LEDs, LCDs, audio, thyristors, digital logic, and amplification.
- Unique: the first and only encyclopedia set on electronic components, distilled into three separate volumes
- Incredibly detailed: includes information distilled from hundreds of sources
- Easy to browse: parts are clearly organized by component type
- Authoritative: fact-checked by expert advisors to ensure that the information is both current and accurate
- Reliable: a more consistent source of information than online sources, product datasheets, and manufacturers tutorials
- Instructive: each component description provides details about substitutions, common problems, and workarounds
- Comprehensive: Volume 1 covers power, electromagnetism, and discrete semiconductors; Volume 2 includes LEDs, LCDs, audio, thyristors, digital logic, and amplification; Volume 3 covers a range of sensing devices.

In fond memory of my father, Maurice Platt
This is the second of three volumes. Its purpose is to provide an overview of the most commonly used electronic components, for reference by students, engineers, hobbyists, and instructors. While you can find much of this information dispersed among datasheets, introductory books, websites, and technical resources maintained by manufacturers, the Encyclopedia of Electronic Components gathers all the relevant facts in one place, properly organized and verified, including details that may be hard to find elsewhere. Each entry includes typical applications, possible substitutions, cross-references to similar devices, sample schematics, and a list of common problems and errors.
You can find a more detailed rationale for this encyclopedia in the Preface to Volume 1.
Practical considerations influenced the decision to divide this encyclopedia into three volumes. Each deals with broad subject areas as follows.
Power; electromagnetic devices; discrete semiconductors
The power category includes sources of electricity and methods to distribute, store, interrupt, convert, and regulate power. The electromagnetic devices category includes devices that exert force linearly, and others that create a turning force. Discrete semiconductors include the primary types of diodes and transistors. A contents listing for Volume 1 appears in .
Thyristors (SCRs, diacs, and triacs); integrated circuits; light sources, indicators, and displays; and sound sources
Integrated circuits are divided into analog and digital components. Light sources, indicators, and displays are divided into reflective displays, single sources of light, and displays that emit light. Sound sources are divided into those that create sound, and those that reproduce sound. A contents listing for Volume 2 appears in .
Sensing devices
The field of sensors has become so extensive, they easily merit a volume to themselves. Sensing devices include those that detect light, sound, heat, motion, pressure, gas, humidity, orientation, electricity, proximity, force, and radiation.
At the time of writing, Volume 3 is still in preparation, while Volume 1 is complete and is available in a variety of formats.
As its title suggests, this is a reference book, not a tutorial. A tutorial begins with elementary concepts and builds sequentially toward concepts that are more advanced. A reference book assumes that you may dip into the text at any point, learn what you need to know, and then put the book aside. If you choose to read it straight through from beginning to end, you will find some repetition, as each entry is intended to be self-sufficient, requiring minimal reference to other entries.
My books Make: Electronics and Make: More Electronics follow a tutorial approach. They dont go into as much depth as this Encyclopedia, because a tutorial inevitably allocates a lot of space to step-by-step explanations and instructions.
This book is oriented toward practicality rather than theory. I assume that the reader mostly wants to know how to use electronic components, rather than why they work the way they do. Consequently, I have not included proofs of formulae or definitions rooted in electrical theory. Units are defined only to the extent necessary to avoid confusion.
Many books on electronics theory already exist, if theory is of interest to you.
This encyclopedia is divided into entries, each entry being devoted to one broad type of component. Two rules determine whether a component has an entry all to itself, or is subsumed into another entry:
Inevitably, these guidelines required judgment calls which in some cases may seem arbitrary. My ultimate decision was based on where I would expect to find a component if I was looking for it myself.
Entries are not organized alphabetically. They are grouped by subject, in much the same way that books in the nonfiction section of some libraries are organized by the Dewey Decimal System. This is convenient if you dont know exactly what you are looking for, or if you dont know all the options that may be available to perform a task that you have in mind.
Each primary category is divided into subcategories, and the subcategories are divided into component types. This hierarchy is shown in . It is also apparent when you look at the top of the first page of each entry, where you will find the path that leads to it. The diac entry, for instance, is headed with this path:
discrete semiconductor > thyristor > diac
Any classification scheme will run into exceptions. You can buy a chip containing a resistor array , for instance. Technically, this is an analog integrated circuit , but a decision was made to put it in the resistor section of Volume 1, because it can be directly substituted for a group of resistors.
Some components have hybrid functions. A multiplexer , for instance, may pass analog signals and may have analog in its name. However, it is digitally controlled and is mostly used in conjunction with other digital integrated circuits. This seemed to justify placing it in the digital category.
There is also the question of what is, and is not, a component. Is wire a component? Not for the purposes of this encyclopedia. How about a DC-DC converter ? Because converters are now sold in small packages by component suppliers, they are included in Volume 1 as components.
Many similar decisions had to be made on a case-by-case basis. Some readers will disagree with the outcome, but reconciling all the disagreements would have been impossible. The best I could do was to create a book which is organized in the way that would suit me best if I were using it myself.
