Description

The Art of Electronics: The x Chapters expands on topics introduced in the best selling third edition of The Art of Electronics, completing the broad discussions begun in the latter. In addition to covering more advanced materials relevant to its companion, The x Chapters also includes extensive treatment of many topics in electronics that are particularly novel, important, or just exotic and intriguing. Think of The x Chapters as the missing pieces of The Art of Electronics, to be used either as its complement, or as a direct route to exploring some of the most exciting and oft overlooked topics in advanced electronic engineering. This enticing spread of electronics wisdom and expertise will be an invaluable addition to the library of any student, researcher, or practitioner with even a passing interest in the design and analysis of electronic circuits and instruments. You'll find here techniques and circuits that are available nowhere else! – 524 large-format pages – 50 high-resolution photographs – 24 tables, including MOSFETs, op- amps, drivers, and more – more than 300 circuits, 300 graphs, 100 ‘scope screenshots, and dozens of drawings.

    • Amazing amount of info packed very densely. Worth 100x the price. 10 stars
Every see an electronics book worth thousands of dollars? Well this one is it. As a practicing RF engineer for over 40 years I don't mind spending $100 on a book with one or two paragraphs that can save me several hours of time. This book is a diamond mine of information. For example, in the capacitor section, in-depth info is presented on the voltage variable sensitivity of class 3 dielectrics, dielectric absorption, microphonics, aging, and ferroelectric properties. And thats just 11 pages of the 500 or so. Well worth every penny. Most analog engineers have been exposed to parts of this info but I have never seen it all in one place. ... show more

    • Not bad, but still better than most.
Overall this is a good reference for any practicing electrical / electronics engineer, especially in the analog realm. Good info on BJT / FET / OPAmp behavior, and written in a very practical, usable style. The problem with a paper version like this is that it can be out of date pretty quickly when they mention specific part numbers or pricing - at least for some items. It's certainly more up to date than "Art of Electronics" though. One pet peeve is the authors keep referencing figures / tables across different chapters and different books...So it sort of interrupts the flow if you're reading about one thing, and then have to go find the figure they just mentioned in a different chapter...or in some cases jump to a different book. The must have had to make concessions to keep the number of pages down. But still it can jump around a lot. Some of the details on various passive parts are missing, for instance PWW (precision wirewound) resistors are sort of missed, and where's you'd use those in a circuit that needs very low 1/f noise, etc. They talk about the advantages of using SMT parts - but gloss over the fact that sometimes through hole parts are required for high voltage or high board stress applications, etc. In the end it's clear the authors are good profs - but it's obvious their background is more academic, less real world industrial precision. Still, it's certainly one of the better references out there, and I highly recommend. ... show more

    • Fantastic book
All the details you could ever want regarding electronics. This is a great companion to the Art of Electronics, which is also a fantastic book.

    • All the Good Stuff that Didn't Fit
The Art of Electronics (now in its 3rd Edition) has been one of the most respected electronics texts for 30+ years. It covered an amazing number of subjects in amazing detail. However with the 3rd Edition there was so much more that the authors wanted to add that the publishers said, "Too much," and forced them to drop certain sections. The "x Chapters" is all the missing material. I sure wish it had been published years earlier. ... show more

    • Amazing reference
There are a number of design problems I've faced that this book addresses in some capacity. It's impossible to have a perfect cookbook for the exact application you need, but the information laid out in the x Chapters are a good starting point to at least start playing around in simulation. The very first chapter is probably the most useful. This goes over the real-world performance of wires, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, relays etc. There are rules of thumb to keep in mind, trade-offs between attenuation of competing parasitics, solutions to one problem may introduce a problem elsewhere in the design... I think this info will give any electrical engineer the ability to have a solid foundation on which to build intuition (after many years) of analog and digital design. ... show more

    • Excellent book
Unlike the H&H The art of electronics (5 star easily), the X chapter lacks the organization and clarity that made H&H THE electronics book. Hard to say how the material could have been organized better -- etc. and other is a bit of a scattered set of subjects. All in all, it is the electronic text which is so much better than the older ARRL handbooks and project books I learned from half a century ago ... show more

    • Beyond the Art of Electronics
This book covers advanced topics that didn't make to the main AoE book. There are 5 chapters: 1.- Real World Passive Components 2.- Advanced BJT topics 3.- Advanced FET topics 4.- Advanced topics in Operational Amplifiers 5.- Advanced topics in Power Control So, as you can see, its focused on analog electronics. The chapters are full of gold nuggets, the quality of the book is the same as the AoE 3rd edition, however the book is a lot thinner, its obvious, there is less content, still there are a total of 483 pages not counting the index which makes this a complete book on its own. It is definitely worth the money, if you like the original AoE dont hesitate to buy this one! ... show more

    • Interesting book with a lot of information
All of the drawings/illustrations were crisp and easy to read. Interesting information. One complaint is there are very few design equations for the circuits described. Although, the circuit description are very detailed. I prefer that the details in the descriptions appear as design equations instead. ... show more
