(3 Votes)This popular, up-to-date devices book takes a strong systems approach that identifies the circuits and components within a system, and helps readers see how the circuit relates to the overall system function. Floyd is well known for straightforward, understandable explanations of complex concepts, as well as for non-technical, on-target treatment of mathematics. The extensive use of examples, Multisim simulations, and graphical illustrations makes even complex concepts understandable. From discrete components, to linear integrated circuits, to programmable analog devices, this books¿ coverage is well balanced between discrete and integrated circuits. Also includes focus on power amplifiers; BJT and FET amplifiers; advanced integrated circuits–instrumentation and isolation amplifiers; OTAs; log/antilog amplifiers; and converters. Thorough coverage of optical topics–high intensity LEDs and fiber optics. Devices sections on differential amplifiers and the IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) are now included. For electronics technicians.
From the Publisher
A new full-color edition of this best-selling text! From discrete components to linear integrated circuits, this popular devices text takes a strong systems approach that identifies the circuits and components within a system, and helps students see how the circuit relates to the overall system function. Floyd is well-known for straightforward, understandable explanations of complex concepts, as well as for non-technical, on-target treatment of mathematics. His coverage is carefully balanced between discrete and integrated circuits and his extensive use of examples makes even complex concepts understandable. One of the most-visual, best-illustrated texts in the field 197 and now full-color throughout! -- Electronic Devices, Fourth Edition features more than nine hundred drawings, photographs, charts, and diagrams that help visually explain concepts.
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Simple enough to understand
I have several college electronics text books. Compared to the others this one was basic enough for me to understand the bare basics. Only after using this book have I been able to use the more advanced books.
I appreciate this book does not have the depth others have, but that is exactly why it helped me get started in electronics. I am self studying so I really needed the simplicity.
I want to thank the author for inviting me into the fascinating world of electronics design.

Very simple explanation.....weak excercises!
Explanations go very smoothly to the extent that somebody who has nothing to do with semi-conductor physics will understand it directly. Nice graphs, neat diagrams, etc.. but the problems are very weak in comparison to other books, such as Sedra & Smith's book (Micro-Electronic circuits). However, the explanations of the latter are on a very advanced level. I recommend Floyd's book for somebody who wants to understand, but not to practice!

Errors in "Advanced Problems"
I started using Floyd because it seemed to be at the right level for my students. Especially the weaker students would benefit from it, I hoped. I would rate "The Art of Electronics" 44, which I interpret as designing a clipping circuit for +18 V and -10 V using a single 24 V DC power supply; I don't know how to do it. Or problem 3-39, where a 110 V AC voltage is connected diodes and zeners that could never stand this. Anyway, in Fig. 3-71 it is not reasonable to have 220 Ohm resistors for both the 6.8 V Zener and the 24 V zener. Howcome errors like these can persist in the fourth edition?
