Praise for Electronic Troubleshooting “The fourth edition of Electronic Troubleshooting has been thoroughly rewritten and updated. The addition of coverage on computer networking and network devices along with expanded subject matter in many other areas has improved a book that has already proven to be very successful. As a former co-author on editions 1–3, I recommend this book and congratulate my friend Dan Tomal and his new co-author on a job well done.” —Neal S. Widmer Professor, Electrical & Computer Engineering Technology Purdue University “If it’s electronic, and there is troubleshooting to be done, then this is the book to reach for!” —Dr. Simon Monk Author, 30 Arduino Projects for the Evil Genius “This book approaches the troubleshooting of circuits and systems by first providing an understanding of the theory of operation, so troubleshooting can proceed in a very logical manner. The writing style and organization are very readable and understandable as well as replete with examples.” —Arthur B. Williams Author, The Analog Filter and Circuit Design Handbook “The authors did an excellent job explaining enough information for beginners and experienced troubleshooters alike … well worth the value in your collection!” —Carl D. Vizza Director, Office of Professional Development Illinois Institute of Technology “The authors have provided an outstanding book on electronic troubleshooting with clear, concise, and concrete examples that anyone can relate to.” —James Karagiannes, Ph.D. Physics Associate Dean of Engineering and Information Sciences DeVry University, Chicago “Drs. Tomal and Agajanian provide a practical and understandable approach to theory and troubleshooting electronic devices. I highly recommend this book.” —A. Galip Ulsoy C. D. Mote, Jr., Distinguished University Professor and William Clay Ford Professor of Manufacturing Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI “One of the best and most comprehensive books since the early digital circuits and microprocessors textbooks of the early 1980s. The authors have an up-to-date approach to diagnostic and troubleshooting fundamentals for the modern technologies.” —Hovhannes Mardirossian Retired Member of Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories Chairman, Technology and Education AESA NY NJ Section “This is a thoughtful and comprehensive book on electronic troubleshooting. The authors provide an excellent basis for understanding the electronic devices and troubleshooting with clear, concise, and concrete examples. I am confident that this book will provide a positive contribution to the electrical and electronic field.” —Davoud Arasteh, Ph.D. Professor, Electrical Engineering Department, Southern University, Baton Rouge, LA Electronic Troubleshooting by Dan Tomal and Aram S. Agajanian is a “must read” book for everyone interested in that field. Its concrete examples, concise style, and clear language give a practical direction to it. I highly appreciate the authors’ efforts.” —Levon Lajikyan Professor, Yerevan State University Yerevan, Armenia “The authors reduce the gap which exists between industry and an educational environment in electronic theory and troubleshooting; therefore, this book should prove of considerable value to engineers, technologists, and students. A job well done!” —Garbis Kerestecioglu, P.Eng., M.Sc. Richmond Hill, ON “Drs. Tomal and Agajanian provide a practical approach to troubleshooting electronic devices, with clear and concise examples most people can relate to. I highly recommend this book to all electronics technicians; they should have it available as a reference in their professional workday, to brush up on theories that they have studied during their years as a student.” —Masis Michael Mirijanian Senior Technical Specialist, Automation Siemens Corp., Los Angeles, CA “The text has good technical information, and good, easy-to-grade student self-examinations, questions, and problems for each chapter. I highly recommend it.” —Dudley Outcalt, Ph.D., P.E. Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) “This book provides a comprehensive and excellent coverage of electronic troubleshooting and is a great book for anyone interested in technology and electronics.” —Daniel J. Fitzgibbons President & CEO Gibson Electric & Technology Solutions Downers Grove, IL “This book can help instill the teachings of in-depth troubleshooting, and would be a fantastic book for multiple theories of electronics.” —Brooks Jacobsen Robotic/Electronic System Technologies Lake Area Technical Institute, South Dakota “I recommend this book to anyone that needs to troubleshoot electronic devices. I wish that this book was written 30 years ago since its well written directions would have saved me an enormous amount of time.” —Andrew Kumiega, Ph.D. I.E. Chicago, IL “The book provides both students and professionals with comprehensive and practical knowledge for troubleshooting problem residential and commercial electrical systems. Definitely a valuable resource for those practicing and who are interested in pursuing a career in the electrical and electronics industry.” —Dr. Thomas M.
