The Art of Electronics

This book is very well defined with its simple understanding lay language terminology. I constantly use it at my professional buiness occupation for designs and meetings as well as for my own personal projects at home and school. I would recommend this book to anyone who is intrested in Electronics or just curious about it. I wouldn't think twice about purchasing the next version of "The Art of Electronics"

This book provides both great overviews and significant details. It is packed with useful information for both the neophyte or seasoned designer. Which I'd had this book 25 years ago!

This book was first published in 1989, and although it definitely is showing its age in the later chapters on microprocessors, microcomputers, and low-power design, in that great strides have been made in these areas over the last 17 years, it is still a worthwhile purchase. It has timeless value in the first seven chapters that focus on transistors, diodes, FET, opamps, active filters and oscillators, voltage regulators and power circuits, and low-noise techniques. Some people have complained about the price, but this book manages to retain its conversational style and still explain the concepts of electronic design much better than textbooks with twice its price tag. If you are an undergraduate electrical engineering student, there probably is no subject that is quite so confusing as designing circuits with transistors and diodes given a certain set of specifications. When I was an undergrad, it seemed like only the children of TV repairmen and the most exceptional students grasped the concept as it was presented in class and in the text we had. This book made matters crystal clear through a series of well-presented straight forward examples in which nothing is left to the imagination.

Even in the later chapters involving digital design and microprocessors, the material may be dated, but the basics are still valid and the material is still worth reading. Might I also recommend "The Art of Electronics Student Manual with Exercises". It is very useful for practicing what is taught in this textbook.

I have a bookshelf full of electronics books, but this is the one that I reach for first every time. My first copy started to fall apart at the binding due to wear and tear. This is the only book that I can think of that I found so valuable that I would buy a second copy. The Art of Electronics is a highly-recommended book by this electrical engineer.

The amount of theory it's attached with a lot of circuits, and all easy to estudy and also deploy.

Some circuit displayed are the easy way to have commmon problems in the electronic's life.

its a good choice!!
