Electronic Testing and Fault Diagnosis is a comprehensive and highly practical guide to the theory and methods of testing electronic circuits and systems. The third edition has been fully revised to provide up-to-date coverage of standard test procedures, and reliability and maintainability analysis for most analogue and digital electronic components and circuits. An introduction to automatic test equipment (ATE) is included, as well as data on passive and active components. This book is a key course text for BTEC HNC/D and first year degree courses in electronics, as well as C&G electronics servicing (2240) part II/III. It is also suitable as a supplementary text for the fault diagnosis units of BTEC HNC science and GNVQ advanced engineering courses.

Enables the reader to test an analog circuit that is implemented either in bipolar or MOS technology. Examines the testing and fault diagnosis of analog and analog part of mixed signal circuits. Covers the testing and fault diagnosis of both bipolar and Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) circuits and introduces . Also contains problems that can be used as quiz or homework.

The average car now contains much more electronic circuitry than would have been the case, even five years ago. This leaves many technicians struggling to keep up with current developments in the repair and maintenance of these electronic systems. Often, texts covering vehicle electronics dwell on unnecessary maths and general electronics principles. This practical guide discusses electronics ony within the context of the vehicle system under consideration and thus keeps theory to a minimum. Using numerous diagrams, photographs and step by step instructions, this book gives a clear description of vehicle electronic systems and fault diagnosos and than continues on to the testing and repair of these systems. Regular reviews and summaries help consolidate learning and make this book ideal for workshop and classroom use.

Seasoned professional designers have that peculiar knowledge of their own work and specialized knowledge of its components to allow them to analyse and remove faults quickly on the spot (design errors take a little longer!). Fault finders can never have this depth of specialization: commercial pressures demand a minimum knowledge-to-do-the-job approach. Practical Electronic Fault Finding and Troubleshooting describes the fundamental principles of analogue and digital fault finding (although of course there is no such thing as a 'digital fault' - all faults are by nature analogue). This book is written entirely for a fault finder using only the basic fault-finding equipment: a digital multimeter and an oscilloscope. The treatment is non-mathematical (apart from Ohm's law) and all jargon is strictly avoided.
