Here are my choices(in no particular order). You can recommend something out of this as well.<p>1) Electronic Devices and Circuits by JB Gupta.<p>2) Electrronic Principles by albert malvino, david j bates, patrick e hoppe<p>3) Electronic devices and circuit theory by boylestad and nashelsky<p>4) microelectronic circuits by sedra smith<p>5) Op-amps and linear integrated circuits by ramakant a. gayakwad<p>1) Digital Electronics by william h. gothmann<p>2) digital logic and computer organization by v.rajaraman, t.radhakrishnan<p>3) digital fundamentals by thomas. l floyd<p>4) digital logic design by mansaf alam, bashir alam<p>5) digital logic and microprocessor design with vhdl by enoch o hwang<p>6) digital design by m.morris mano and michael d.ciletti<p>7) digital logic and computer deisng by m. morris mano<p>8) digital systems design by charles h roth jr, lizy kurion john<p>Purpose of buying these books:<p>1) To prepare for comptitive exams.<p>2) To have a good book as reference whenever I want to learn something. Having a book physically means a lot.<p>3) Have good exercises that can help me brainstorm and understand the concepts. More is always not better but there should be enough.<p>PS: Books like the art of electronics are out of scope. I generally don't like morris mano's books, idk why. That's all.
I'm a graduate of ECE. I've a decent background of circuits but I'm no expert at it. I'm a noob-intermediate at these stuffs. Not my first time doing circuit analysis. I can take this exam at any time I wish. So, I am not in a hurry.
