Debug, Tweak and fine-tune your DIY electronics projects

This hands-on guide shows, step by step, how to build, debug, and troubleshoot a wide range of analog electronic circuits. Written by electronics guru Ronald Quan, Troubleshooting Electronic Circuits: A Guide to Learning Analog Circuits clearly explains proper debugging techniques as well as testing and modifying methods. In multiple chapters, poorly-conceived circuits are analyzed and improved. Inside, you will discover how to design or re-design high-quality circuits that are repeatable and manufacturable.

Coverage includes:

  • An introduction to electronics troubleshooting
  • Breadboards
  • Power sources, batteries, battery holders, safety issues, and volt meters
  • Basic electronic components
  • Diodes, rectifiers, and Zener diodes
  • Light emitting diodes (LEDs)
  • Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs)
  • Troubleshooting discrete circuits (simple transistor amplifiers)
  • Analog integrated circuits, including amplifiers and voltage regulators
  • Audio circuits
  • Troubleshooting analog integrated circuits
  • Ham radio circuits related to SDR
  • Trimmer circuits, including the 555 chip and CMOS circuits
