Introductory Electronic Devices and Circuits: Conventional Flow Version (7th Edition)
Product Description This book makes comprehension of material a top priority and encourages readers to be active participants in the learning process. The conventional-flow version of this book provides a readable and thorough approach to electronic devices and circuits, and support discussions with an abundance of learning aids to motivate and assist readers at every turn. The seventh edition of this well-established book features new internet link identifiers which bring the user to supplemental on-line resources. Covered topics include fundamental solid-state principles, common diode applications, amplifiers, oscillators and transistors. For professionals in the field of Electronics Technology. The publisher, Prentice-Hall Career & Technology Provides a practical, hands-on approach to the subject by encouraging students to be active participants in learning the material. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Reader Reviews This review is from: Introductory Electronic Devices and Circuits: Conventional Flow Version (5th Edition) (Hardcover) this book has many problems.. firstly.. it is overly informal... secondly.. the beginning chapters on the physics and chemistry of semiconductors (ptype n type) are garbage... do atoms really have 2,8,8,8.... configuration in it's energy levels??? NO... we assumed that in grade ten chem.. just to make it easier.. and the stuff on energy levels is pathetic also... very basic chem/physics... there are 3 levels of approximations for semiconductors devices... 1st is ideal, 2nd is practical... 3rd is complete... for college level students.. complete approx isn't used.... they use 2nd approx for doing analysis.. and 1st for doing troubleshooting only... yet the author jumps around.. .for clippers clampers and voltage multipliers.. the author does his analysis based on the 1st approx.... then for other sections.. he lays out pages upon pages of formulas.. that really should be common sense (KVL, KCL).. and he sets out formulas for both 1st and second approx.. it's just superfluous... then the end of chapters exercises are alway slike "refer to the circuit of fig. 4.6.. and use the spec sheets for the 1N400X series of diodes on page 34.. blah blah blah"... it's so annoying flipping around.. i would often do the wrong circuit... for a question.. the book is just not well designed.... I want a professional textbook.. now one for kindergarten kids... Comment | | (Report this)
