 The
Art of Electronics $70.00
by Paul Horowitz (Author), Winfield Hill (Author)
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,
this book has sold over 120,000 copies, and has been translated
into eight languages. This book revolutionized the teaching
of electronics by emphasizing the methods actually used
by circuit designers--a combination of some basic laws,
rules of thumb, and a large bag of tricks. The result
is a largely nonmathematical treatment that encourages
circuit intuition, brain storming, and simplified calculations
of circuit values and performance. This completely new
edition responds to the breakneck pace of change in electronics
with totally rewritten chapters on microcomputers and
microprocessors, substantially revised chapters on digital
electronics, on op-amps and precision design, and on construction
techniques. Every table has been revised, and many new
ones have been added. The new Art of Electronics retains
the feeling of informality and easy access that made the
first edition so successful and popular.
