For mid-level courses in Electronic Devices. From discrete components to linear integrated circuits, this popular devices text takes a strong systems approach that identifies the circuits and components within a system, and helps students see how the circuit relates to the overall system function.
Floyd is well-known for straightforward, understandable explanations of complex concepts, as well as for non-technical, on-target treatment of mathematics.
His coverage is carefully balanced between discrete and integrated circuits and his extensive use of examples makes even complex concepts understandable.
