Description

At long last, here is the thoroughly revised and updated third edition of the hugely successful The Art of Electronics. It is widely accepted as the best single authoritative book on electronic circuit design. In addition to new or enhanced coverage of many topics, the third edition includes 90 oscilloscope screenshots illustrating the behavior of working circuits, dozens of graphs giving highly useful measured data of the sort that is often buried or omitted in datasheets but which you need when designing circuits, and 80 tables (listing some 1650 active components), enabling intelligent choice of circuit components by listing essential characteristics (both specified and measured) of available parts. The new Art of Electronics retains the feeling of informality and easy access that helped make the earlier editions so successful and popular. It is an indispensable reference and the gold standard for anyone, student or researcher, professional or amateur, who works with electronic circuits. Read more

    • This Book Lives on my Workbench
Overall, this book is really great. It covers a wide range of topics. It presents some relevant theory and historical perspectives. And, it contains schematics of sample circuits and references part numbers of components currently in production. Keep in mind that the 3rd edition of this book was published in 2015 so there are definitely some more contemporary components out there but often they are still made by the same manufacturer. One of my favorite parts about owning this book though is that it has often been quicker, less frustrating, and more illuminating than doing a simple online search when I first sit down to design a circuit. Of course, this statement should be treated with a caveat: I am not a professional electrical engineer. I don't have any educational nor vocational experience in analog electronics, and I'm not designing insanely complicated circuits. Most of what I have learned comes from this book, online forums, and technical datasheets from manufacturers. Because of this, I would say it is an incredibly beginner friendly text for those designing circuits. It does contain math, uses technical vocabulary, and asks you to read a schematic/graph/table, but these are all well labeled, accurately defined, and clearly depicted. I haven't found myself lost because of a simple omission that the authors felt was too obvious to mention nor a poorly defined or ambiguous term. Needless to say, it sits happily on my workbench full of notes and a couple burn marks from my soldering iron. ... show more

    • Fantastic book
Get this book if you are interested in electronics. It is a thoroughly researched and fact checked. If I could only have 1 electronics book, this would be it.

    • The most important and inspiring book on electronics there is.
To me, there is no one more important book in my life than H&H. I certainly do not know of a better electronics text (and I like electronics texts). Further, I believe my career in engineering boils down to a few distinct pushes in that direction before it was in my blood (and therefore too late). One of the big ones was getting a copy of AoE 2nd Edition in school. So, I would have bought the 3rd edtion no matter what. Incredibly, the 3rd edition has expanded many of the things I loved about the 2nd edition. The section on low noise design is much better and much more useful and it was pretty great before. The digital stuff is obviously much more relevant (although it may not stay that way). The "circuits from the masters" sections and the case studies of specific circuit designs are fascinating and useful (although I do miss the hilarious "bad circuits" sections). Finally, and most importantly, you can tell that H&H themselves were active engineers in the world between the last edition and this one -- building circuits and solving problems and reading other works and being influenced by the work and scholarship and generally just continuing to rule. The dedication to Jim Williams showed that like me and all other analog nerds I know out there, they had been eagerly reading all his stuff. The section on microcontrollers exactly parallels some of the design ideas, biases, and gut feelings that I and other embedded engineers have taken the past fifteen years developing by plowing through all the exciting architecture and tool changes that have happened from EEPROM PICs to ARMs. Finally, the intellectual integrity, raw practicality, and HANDS-ON-ness of this book are unparalleled. If everybody were required to read this book before designing circuits, there would be a lot fewer crappy circuits out there. Oh, yeah. And it's fun, too. ... show more

    • Genuine Copy, Great information
Review Image by John John
Genuine copy of The Art of Electronics. The contents of this book are greatly edifying. Contains great amounts of knowledge passed on by experienced members of the field. As an undergraduate, I have found wonderful kernels of knowledge through the text that I have not found in other texts, making it worth reading sections covering topics I am already confident in. It is written in a casual style (compared to other engineering texts). I found the humor of the authors help keep me engaged. The text focuses more on the design of real circuits, making it a great addition to other texts more focused on analysis and proofs. Amazon's packaging was mediocre. The hardcover arrived with dented corners. Beware when ordering books on Amazon as their book packaging has dropped in quality. ... show more

    • Not for beginners
While it is obvious this is a very thoroughly well put together textbook. I'd use myself as an example that it is not very friendly to new/very-new beginners. It introduces new concepts, electrical components well, but then goes very fast and in depth in these topics while not providing enough time to practice, or explain everything covered in more detail. I will be switching to other resources to learn for now at least, and look forward to revisiting this book once I have a better grasp of the fundamentals. Maybe I'm dumb (lol) or maybe the teaching style isn't cutting it for me, so this is just my experience. I'll say it again, there's a lot of helpful information in this book it seems, I just cannot process it. ... show more
