During the Christmas break, I ended up reading\u00a0iLAB Analog, a new textbook written by Dr. Chen Yun\u00a0Chao from National Taipei University of Technology Department of Electronic Engineering<\/a>. I was\u00a0excited to read a book that deals with both conceptual knowledge and has\u00a0practical labs. For anyone who\u00a0wants to learn about analog circuits but has\u00a0very basic knowledge of physics, it is a good starting point. This book is\u00a0currently being used in the Intro to Analog Circuits class held at National Taipei University of Technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"iLAB<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Chen\u00a0offers a comprehensive look into the fundamentals of analog circuits. Each chapter focuses on one commonly used component, including bipolar junction transistors<\/a>, amplifiers<\/a>, oscillators<\/a>, active filters<\/a>,\u00a0and more. \u00a0Not only does each chapter\u00a0cover theoretical concepts, but it also provides hands-on lab experience using the\u00a0Analog Discovery<\/a> and simulation software, as well as exercises.\u00a0After reading each chapter, I can definitely say I know how to use and test the component as well as analyze the circuit featuring with that specific component.<\/p>\n

\"Using<\/a>
Using Waveforms FFT Analysis to interpret the waveforms of amplifier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"Exercises<\/a>
Exercises provided at the end of each chapter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Hands-on<\/a>
Hands-on lab to show how to test the hardware with Analog Discovery and breadboard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

The book is published by Tung Hua<\/a>\u00a0and currently is\u00a0only available as a Chinese version. The Analog Discovery and iLAB Analog are both\u00a0available at\u00a0E-elements Technology Company Limited<\/a>, Digilent’s distributor at Taiwan.<\/p>\n
