FEATURES/BENEFITS
- NEW—Refines and reorganizes chapter content. The introduction and treatment of external amplifier characteristics has been condensed into the first chapter; op amps are treated in a single chapter; and treatment of device physics has been shortened and appears in various chapters on an as-needed basis.
- Avoids overloading beginners with unnecessary detail, making the book more succinct and user friendly.
- NEW—Provides early treatment of integrated-circuit techniques with greater emphasis throughout.
- Enabling readers to gain knowledge of integrated circuits without taking an advanced course. It also integrates the concepts, rather than presenting them in piecemeal fashion.
- NEW—Emphasizes MOSFETs over JFETs.
- Preparing the reader for advanced study of analog and digital CMOS and IC's.
- Offers outstanding pedagogical features throughout. Chapter opening material shows the reader how each chapter is organized. Example titles allow the reader to easily locate examples related to a particular topic. Margin comments summarize procedures and emphasize important points.
- Treats digital circuits early in the book.
- Emphasizes design. For example, Anatomy of Design sections show realistic design examples.
- Demonstrates ways in which material fits together, providing motivation and creating interest.

Format:Paperback
To me, this book can hardly for beginners nor professional enginners!
The first 3 chapters are ok. Readers should be able to understand most of the materical.
However, since chapter 4 everything seems to be just briefy metioned. The author didn't get into more deeply explaintion. Also, I think he needs to give more example instead questions, and more pratical problems to the readers.
Finally, since the middle of chapter 8 to the rest of the book, the author trys to cover LOTS of materical without completely explain how/what/why people want to do that. Which makes me so confused!

excellent - but 1st ed is better
5 Mar 2003
Format:Paperback
Great book - the best compared to many others in the market. Most university entry level electronics texts are useless to students - too damn hard to read. Most authors were probably too busy trying to impress - resulting in something which is, yes, complete and blah and blah, but totally useless to students. No, not this book - it took pain to ease a reader into the material. But, unfortunately, the 2nd ed has lost much of that refreshing "innocence" of the 1st ed and conformed to be more like others in the market - too bad.

Excellent Introduction
19 May 2005
Format:Paperback
This book covers many of the topics in Sedra and Smith, but does so in a very understandable manner. Examples are well chosen and clearly explained. Far clearer than Sedra and Smith.
My choice for an introductory book covering transistor circuits.

Good for learning electonics w/PSPICE
22 April 2009
Format:Paperback
This book was required for my electronics class and the only thing it helped me learn was using PSPICE. The explanations of the operations of different devices are not thorough enough. I ended up using the Sedra/Smith Microelectronics for learning the different concepts. I used this book for only required homework problems. I would recommend Sedra/Smith, Microelectronics, for a complete and thorough introduction into electronics and semiconductor devices.
