Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory

by Robert L. Boylestad and Louis Nashelsky

Book Overview

Completely updated with the most current computer analysis coverage, this classic book on electronic devices and circuit theory provides a detailed study and high level of accuracy, offering users a complete and comprehensive survey on all the essentials they will need to understand in order to be successful on the job. Divided into two main components (the dc analysis and the ac or frequency response), it uses a "building block" approach, progressing...

VERY PRACTICAL, GET TO THE SUBJECT VERY FAST

I had the 5th edition in college and bought the 7th edition for work and it helped me a lot in Transistors circuits design. It is easy to read and it doesn't give you too much theory that is sometimes confusing. Lots of example and even how to interpret Datasheets.A must have in you library.

very good..

as the previous reviewer notes.. there are some design pitfalls (like the equations in the front cover).... but these flaws do not effect study at allvery thorough treatmentas for floyd.. i have his Electronics Fundamentals: cccts, devices and appli. book.. and it isn't thorough.. i.e, for transistors biasing.. it only covers Voltage DIvider bias.. and only on the surface...wat about TSEB, Basebias, the feeback biases.. etc.????

Best way to understand the basics of devices theory

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.

The best to learn electronics.

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.

Great Book For Students or Pros in the electronics field.

I am currently a student at Queensborough Community College in Bayside, NY. It explains electronic theory in detail. You get exactly what you need to know and a heck of a lot of other topics (with examples) that are high tech. I recommend this book to anyone interested in studying electronics.
