Circuits

AC Circuits / CC BY-NC-SA

Chad Davis / University of Oklahoma / 2016

The book covers Alternating Current (AC) circuit theory as well us a brief introduction of electronics. It is broken up into seven modules.

Format: PDF, WORD

DC Circuits / CC BY-NC-SA

Chad Davis / University of Oklahoma / 2016

This book covers Direct Current (DC) circuit theory and is broken up into three modules. Module 1 covers the basics for circuits that include DC sources (voltage or current) and resistors. Even though Module 1 is not very difficult, it forms the foundation for more complicated topics in modules 2 and 3 so it is important to have a firm grasp of all Module 1 topics before moving on. Module 2 covers more difficult problem solving techniques for circuits that include only DC sources and resistors. Module 3 introduces capacitors and inductors. These non-linear reactive components are analyzed in the transient and steady state regions in circuits with DC sources in Module 3.

Digital Circuit Projects: An Overview of Digital Circuits Through Implementing Integrated Circuits  / CC BY

Charles W. Kann / Gettysburg College / 2014

Digital circuits, often called Integrated Circuits or ICs, are the central building blocks of a Central Processing Unit (CPU). To understand how a computer works, it is essential to understand the digital circuits which make up the CPU. This text introduces the most important of these digital circuits; adders, decoders, multiplexers, D flip-flops, and simple state machines.
