More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Designed for use in courses such as electronic devices or electronic circuits, this edition features a new chapter on communication circuits, as well as performance objectives for each chapter. New material provides a stronger theoretical understanding of electronics. In addition, special sections called "T-shooters", designed to strengthen students' trouble-shooting skills, are included throughout the text. The content of the work has also been updated to keep coverage in step with the fast-changing world of electronics. Each chapter offers multi-level question groups oriented to theory, design and trouble-shooting. Additional higher-level problems are provided for students in advanced programmes.
From the Publisher
A new, full-color design in which each component of a circuit diagram is in a different color, making it simpler for students to identify components.
Job Interview Questions, a new end-of-chapter feature containing typical questions employers might ask to determine the prospective employee's depth of knowledge of electronics.
Expanded coverage of OP AMPS and an introduction to surface mount technology.
Interfaces with the popular Electronic Workbench software to keep text on the cutting edge of electronic instruction. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

One of the best books to get started on before you move to the more advanced books....,
By
This review is from: Electronic Principles (Hardcover)
I am sorry that I have to disagree totally with the previous review.
This book explains fundamentals in such a clear fashion that if you pay attention to what Malvino is saying, you cannot possibly get the fundamentals wrong. Once you have a good foundation about how diodes, bipolar and Junction FET and related circuits work, you can easily move on to more advanced material (backed with some math and circuit theory knowledge) presented in books such as Millman, sedra and smith and gray and meyer. This book is a very good starting point. It will provide a strong foundation to move onto more advanced electronics. Highly recommended.

An OK book,

This review is from: Electronic Principles (Paperback)
Ok as an electronics text but not as good as the Floyd books on electronics. I feel as though I made a mistake in buying it!

The BEST book on electronics, period.,
By Billy Bee - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Malvino Electronic Principles (Electronics Books) (Hardcover)
I've been planning to write this review for quite the longest time. I first came across Dr Malvino via the 3rd edition of Electronic Principles. I happened to buy it for like 2$ at a library used book sale. I read the book and, almost magically, electronics, a subject I enjoyed but happened to be very weak in, made absolute sense. After this I bought the latest edition. Electronic Principles by Dr. Malvino is the greatest book on learning electronics. It has helped me master the field of electronics. Its a good book for beginners and a constant reference for advanced readers like myself. Especially as a university graduate I refer to the book constantly. Malvino was the only author who stresses Thevenin theorem's importance, which is true because it is everywhere in the book. He explains diodes, transitors including AC and DC equivalent circuits, with crystal clear clarity. For example, before reading Dr Malvino's book I had no clue how to calculate input and output impedance of ANY amplifier, after reading the book I can do these calculations. Malvino's clear explanations are excellent, and have helped me become an Electronics "wiz". Thank You Dr. Malvino for helping me learn a very beloved subject that was taught terribly to me in University, and probably many other Universities.For the critics, sure its a beginners book, but if you know EVERY electronic concept Malvino writes about in the book and can prove it to me by writing it down on paper without referring to another book, then I'll accept your review of the book. And every discipline of humanity, from basketweaving, ballet, or electronics, is based upon solid principles. And Dr. Malvino has them all in his book, and builds upon them. I can't help you about Ballet or Basketweaving though :) To the people who read the Pacific Northwesters review of this book and gives this book 1 star, and, sadly, suggests Thomas Floyd's books. Sincerely I say do not listen to this Pacific Northwesterner. To this critic I say this, your review uses such big words like Non-Absolutism. Non-Absolutism did not affect Dr. Malvino's abilty to explain electronics clearly. The issue of "epistemology" you babble about, and the "subversion of the learning process" I ask you this, why do so many people (including myself) learn electronics from Dr. Malvino's books? That is a true philosophical question for you to ponder. Now about books from Thomas Floyd, his books on electronics are "Electronic Devices" and "Electronics Fundamentals" Finding these books on Amazon and reading customer reviews you notice a few things. First you will not find 10 customers giving ratings of 4 stars or higher, maybe 2 customers at the most. And you'll see the usual bad comments like "their were many mistakes in the text" or "this book explains stuff terribly" or the best comment, "I hate this guy's books", these comments are death when you want to learn something well. So Pacific Northwest Person, maybe you have a personal beef with the author, nobody has argued with you because we silently read our copy of "Electronic Principles" knowing we have the best book available on the subject. So, yeah its an AWESOME book!! 24 of 24 people found the following review helpful:

Great for Beginners,
By M. Anderson-Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Malvino Electronic Principles (Electronics Books) (Hardcover)
After stumbling thru numerous basic engineering and electronics texts, I finally found Malvino's clear simple presentation which relies almost entirely on algebraic formulations and builds from basic principles to advanced circuits including a detailed treatment of transistor fundamentals and the the ubiquitous op-amp and proceeds to amplifiers, multivibrators , comparators, oscillators, and filters, etc. The presentation is logical and easy to follow. The book avoids an overly academic approach in favor of a practical emphasis without sacrificing accuracy or logic. This is a best bet for a beginner.

I still use Malvino twenty-plus years later,
By J. Bosch - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Electronic Principles (Hardcover)
Electronic Principles, Second Edition, was my textbook in college in the late-70's/early 80's. It was great then, and it's great now. I updated my library with the Sixth Edition a few years ago and I feel just as rewarded as I had when I first learned the subject through the Second.I design electronic circuits sporadically -- I'm mainly a programmer and writer by trade -- and I need periodic reminders of the theory and math involved in designing and solving circuits. Malvino was and continues to be my main source, along with The Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill and Calculus for Electronics by Richmond. Thank you, Dr. Malvino! |
