4.0 out of 5 stars A GOOD INTRODUCTION TO analogue electronics, 6 Dec 2000
Both analogue electronics and circuit theory are difficult concepts for the average student,in this book they may have cracked this barrier. The topics are well presented giving the student a clear introduction to analogue electronic principles.The text includes lots of examples. It begins with an introduction to semiconductors and developes on this foundation to provide the reader with an progressive,clear and extensive range of topics in analogue electronics and their associated circuit theory .PSpice is used in the book giving the student an insight into its use as a tool for designing and simulating circuits.The EWB(Electronic Work Bench)CD ROM is included with the text.The student with an average maths background will be in a position to cope with most if not all the calculations in the book.The audience for the book would seem to me to be first-second year college students studying analogue electronics. For the student who wants to get a handle on the area of analogue electronics,I would recommend this book. PS The paperback edition is on sale now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended for Analogue electronics!, 8 Mar 2004
This book was recommended to me when i just started my electronics degree. I have nearly finished my second year and the number of times that i have found myself turning to this book for help has suprised me. Also the result that i get is actually very helpful whereas other books are good at covering certain topics better than others. This book has never once left me still questioning when i pick my head up. The quality in detail is remarkably clear and doesn't bog you down. Don't be fooled into thinking however that this book will cover digital as well as analogue. Since a module can cover both digital and analouge i would advise another text for the digital side. The book covers digital devices such as adders but doesn't go into detail of their workings. For example, binary and truth tables are rare also combinational and sequential logic are not included in the text. If you need help on transistor theory then this is the book to turn to!! Even though it is probably the most expensive book that i have ever bought it is also probably the best that i have ever bought.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quite good book for basic-intermediate electronic students, 23 May 2000
By Raul Nacher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory (Hardcover)
I have the sixth edition of this book,and i think that althought is not the best book of the world is quite good book.You must learn about basic electricity first, a book like "basic electricity" by Nooger Van Valkenburgh is a very good one.You must know the Ohm law,Kirchhoff laws,simplify pasive circuits ( serie circuits,parallel circuits and complex circuits,what is a capacitor a inductance, thevenin's theorem and other things like that) The content of the book is based on the semiconductor components.The book explains what a diode is,how it works,the reason of his function,his characteristics,and many application circuits (How to convert ac current to dccurrent, how to change the level of dc voltage of a wave,etc);the book also explains what a transistor is and his apllications(amplifiers, an element for do digital circuits and the base of electronics),the book tells you how to polarizate a transistor,how amplifies and his models,and many circuits.Finally the book tells you what an operational amplifier is,power amplifiers,oscillator circuits(a circuit that converts dc current to ac current) and other control power dispositives. The book also have many problems,some illustrations,and a basic course of PSpice( a program for simulate electronic circuits).

4.0 out of 5 stars The best to learn electronics., 19 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Electronic Devices Circuit Theory (Hardcover)
I'm An electronics eng. and this was the book that I used to learn the first concepts and circuits, it's easy to understand.

If You wanna know what a transistor, tiristor, or op-amp is, and how do they work, this book is gonna tell you.

I give it 4 stars because it has some mistakes in its edition. Some times it say NPN and the transistor is a PNP, and things like that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best way to understand the basics of devices theory, 12 Mar 2000
By Cesar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory (Hardcover)
I was a teacher of eletronic and I used this book to introduce the fundamentals of discret devices for 3 years. This book has a good and clear explanation of eletronics theory since junction construction until the elementary integrated circuit. I recomend this book for anyone that wont to rewiew the eletronics basics and for teachers to be use in technician and egeneering regular cource.
