1964 Motorola Semiconductor Circuits Manual. This  manual  discusses  some  of  the  many  practical  circuits using  power  semiconductors.  The  circuits  are  intended  to  illustrate design  principles  and  limitations  of  solid  state  devices . A broad frequency  spectrum  is  covered. The  devices  include p-n  junctions  such  as  low  current  rectifiers,  zener  diodes and  the  new  high  current  multicell  rectifiers.

PNP  devices  including large  junction  germanium  power  transistors  suitable  for  motor control  as  well  as  the  latest  silicon-epitaxial-annular-passivated. RF  amplifiers;  NPN  silicon  controlled  rectifiers  and  gate  control-led switches  such  as  the  steel  can  low-cost  SCR;  and  completing  the circle back to a p-n  junction varactor  diode .
