AlbakiReads Editorial

A component-by-component reference to electronic signal processing

This second volume in Charles Platt’s three-part encyclopedia is organized around components used in signal processing: LEDs, LCDs, audio components, thyristors, digital logic, and amplification. Its entries explain what components do and how they work, with photographs, schematics, and diagrams supporting the explanations. The reference also covers component variants, substitutions, common problems, and workarounds, giving it a practical dimension alongside its technical descriptions. As part of a larger set, Volume 2 sits between material on power, electromagnetism, and discrete semiconductors in Volume 1 and sensing devices in Volume 3.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Electronics hobbyists and students seeking a component reference.
  • Engineers or teachers looking up signal-processing components and their variants.
  • Readers who want diagrams and practical notes on substitutions and common problems.

Book overview

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. You'll learn what each one does, how it works, why it's useful, and what variants exist. No matter how much you know about electronics, you'll find fascinating details you've 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 you're 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 manufacturer's 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.
