Description

Features

For upper-level courses in Devices and Circuits at 2-year or 4-year Engineering and Technology institutes.

Highly accurate and thoroughly updated, this text has set the standard in electronic devices and circuit theory for nearly 30 years. Boylestad and Nashelsky offer students a complete and comprehensive survey, focusing on all the essentials they will need to succeed on the job. This very readable text is supported by strong pedagogy and content that is ideal for new students of this rapidly changing field. Its colorful, student-friendly layout boasts a large number of stunning photographs. Topics covered include semiconductor diodes, BJT devices, DC biasing, FET devices, Op-Amp applications, power amplifiers, linear-digital ICs, power supplies and voltage regulators, and other two-terminal devices. This text is an excellent reference work for anyone involved with electronic devices and other circuitry applications, such as electrical and technical engineers. A broad range of ancillary materials is available for instructor support.

Hallmark Features

• Systems approach.
• As in prior editions, this edition represents an exhaustive effort to enhance the material that introduces the concept of system engineering.
• For ac analysis, the text emphasizes the difference between the no-load and loaded gain, including examples of how each affects the gain and characteristics of a system.
• Entire sections remain to demonstrate the impact of the source and load resistance on the system response, although now the material is an integral part of the ac analysis chapter of the device under discussion.
• Visual presentation.
• This text represents a concerted effort to ensure that important statements and conclusions stand out in boldface and/or color.
• Color is used for instructional purposes wherever appropriate to identify important parameters, network regions, and results — and to enhance the understanding of figures.
• This approach improves readability. Summaries and equation lists appear near the end of each chapter for review and study.
• Practical applications.
• There are more than 100 practical applications at the end of each chapter, helping students learn how theory is applied in real-world settings.
• All applications are current with the latest changes in the industrial community.
• Computer analyses.
• The computer coverage in this text extends beyond what you'll find in competing texts.
• The latest versions of PSpice, Multisim, and Mathcad are covered in specific sections throughout the text, including descriptions of important differences in the application of each software package.
• PSpice and Multisim are both covered in an effort to ensure students are familiar with software packages they might use in future studies or the real world — or both.
• Circuit files provided.
• Selected circuit diagrams in the text are rendered in Multisim 2001, Multisim 7, and PSpice 9.2 and these circuit files are provided on the book's CD-ROM and for quick, easy download at the book's companion website (www.prenhall.com/boylestad).
• Multisim and PSpice are widely regarded as excellent simulation tools for classroom and laboratory learning but students don't necessarily have to use these circuit files with this textbook.
• Circuits created in later more current releases of Multisim and PSpice may also be available at the companion website.
• Companion website at www.prenhall.com/boylestad
• Contains Multisim and PSpice circuit files, chapter summary reviews, and additional multiple choice questions, providing students with an interactive resource that brings the subject matter to life.

New To This Edition
