Description

For courses in Basic Electronics and Electronic Devices and Circuits.

From discrete components, to linear integrated circuits, to programmable analog devices, this popular, up-to-date 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 and graphical illustrations makes even complex concepts understandable.


Features

  • NEW - Chapter on Programmable Analog Devices—Chapter 19.

    • Provides students with an introduction to field-programmable analog arrays (FPAAs) and how to program them.

  • NEW - Devices—Sections on differential amplifiers and the IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) are now included.
  • Circuit simulations within numbered examples and problem sets.

    • Allows students to measure circuit quantities and troubleshoot faulty circuits in a simulated environment, and makes an excellent transition to lab experiments.

  • Strong coverage of troubleshooting and applications throughout.

    • Teaches students practical troubleshooting techniques, and gives them a sense of how the theory of devices and circuits covered can be applied in a “real-world” situation.

  • Coverage of advanced integrated circuits—Chapter 15 includes instrumentation and isolation amplifiers; OTAs; log/antilog amplifiers; and converters.

    • Introduces students to circuits found in today's industry.

  • Hundreds of full-color photographs, illustrations, and system schematics.

  • A strong pedagogical framework—Includes two-page chapter introductions; chapter objectives; section listings; key terms listings; performance-based section objectives; formula lists; chapter glossaries; chapter summaries; and chapter-end problems.

    • Gives students a consistent framework to guide them through the material.

  • Over 160 worked examples—With accompanying related problems throughout the text.

    • Illustrates the use and application of concepts, theories, and mathematical formulas to promote students' understanding and retention of material.

  • Diversified problem sets in each chapter—Includes basic, advanced, troubleshooting, data sheet, and Multisim troubleshooting.

    • Offers students a chance to practice applying theorems and formulas, and encourages them to think through a solution in a logical manner.

  • More than 1400 exercises—Includes questions; self-tests; and four types of chapter-end problems.

    • Gives students ample opportunities for review and self-study.

  • Circuit-Action Quiz—At the end of most chapters.

    • Checks the students' understanding of how changes in certain parameters affect the behavior of a circuit.

  • Enhanced system applications sections—Features full-color system illustrations and a strong troubleshooting focus at the end of most chapters.

    • Exposes students to the challenges they will encounter in the workplace—through the use of printed circuit boards and hands-on activities that relate theory to real-world applications.

  • More coverage of optical topics—High intensity LEDs are introduced and a new section on fiber optics has been added.
  • Extensive exercises and problems using Multisim circuit simulation.

    • Designed to help students verify circuit theory and develop troubleshooting and measurement skills.

  • Multisim CD-ROM—Packaged with each text, includes simulation circuits for selected examples, troubleshooting sections, and selected problems with and without inserted faults, in Multisim 7.0.
