Product Description

Review
‘The best self-teaching book and reference book in electronics … The beauty and fun of electronics shows through.’ Radio Communication

‘Full of clever circuits and sharp insights, but with a surprising minimum of mathematics … The depth is genuine, as is the richness of examples, data and apt tricks.’ Scientific American

‘Far and away the finest book on the subject of electronics … in the last decade. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone whose research or experiments require some electronics.’ Optical Engineering

'Another electronics textbook that became an international best-seller … the book is renowned for presenting the techniques that circuit designers actually use.' IEEE Spectrum

Product Description
This is the thoroughly revised and updated second edition of the hugely successful The Art of Electronics. Widely accepted as the single authoritative text and reference on electronic circuit design, both analog and digital, the original edition sold over 125,000 copies worldwide and was translated into eight languages. The book revolutionized the teaching of electronics by emphasizing the methods actually used by citcuit designers - a combination of some basic laws, rules to thumb, and a large nonmathematical treatment that encourages circuit values and performance. The new Art of Electronics retains the feeling of informality and easy access that helped make the first edition so successful and popular. It is an ideal first textbook on electronics for scientists and engineers and an indispensable reference for anyone, professional or amateur, who works with electronic circuits.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Book to Buy, 27 Nov 2000
By A Customer
I have worked as an Electronics Engineer for many years and thought I knew the subject well - until I brought this book that is. It must be said that this is the best book I have ever purchased on the subject, with clear, concise and down to earth information on many topics . This book is for people who want to learn REAL electronics. The coverage on transistor theory and design for example is superb, banishing away many of the myths of many circuit designs and how to design them properly. I assure you that you DO NOT know electronics until you have studied this book from cover to cover ! The book also covers many other topics which are a 'must-know' for anyone in the realms of electronic design and troubleshooting. The topics give real world answers to the problems experienced in everyday designs, and not just loads of text book garbage formula theory given in some books that I could mention. An indispensable book for which I cannot say a bad word. BUY IT !

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential book for electronics enthusiasts, 15 Oct 2002
By S. Ellis "sellis131" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As an electronics hobbyist, I must say that I can't rate this book highly enough.

It is a very good introduction to the fundamentals of electronics, such as how transistors behave, as well as having a large number of "cookbook" examples of good and bad circuits.

It is written in a nice, easy, informal style, without heavy emphasis on mathematics. Although it is the kind of book you can dip into, it is actually readable enough to sit down with and read whole chapters - and there are precious few reference books you can do that with.

There are sections on transistors, FETs, discrete analogue circuits, timers, op-amps, how DACs and ADCs work (essential if you are doing any serious work with them), how to drive logic signals over large distances and why you need special line drivers, RS232 and UART operation, address decoding for peripherals, driving multiplexed displays, and many others.

If there is a downside to this book, it is that the specific information in the microprocessor section is a little dated. (The reference design uses a 68008, for example, although it does list the 68040 and 80486 as available.) However, the general principles of logic-driven designs are still sound, even if some of the actual specific devices have changed.

It's not cheap, but it's the best £45 I've paid out in a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, practical text on analogue & digital electronics, 9 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This book is practically indispensable for anyone who either wants to get deep into electronics or who wants to just dip in and learn enough about a technique to use it. Unlike a lot of other electronics books which are full of formulas, the art of electronics adds rules of thumb and design shortcuts used by experienced engineers which take a lot of the drudgery out of design. The easy-to-read text and good, practically self-contained chapters make it easy to dive in and out of as needed. One of the major plus points of the book are the many 'good' and 'bad' circuit ideas, giving you circuit ideas and also showing you how NOT to do it. The digital side is slightly out of date (coverage of PICs and other cheap uPs would be nice) but still covers all the main points you'd need to know on small digital circuits.
