Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This junior level electronics text provides a foundation for analyzing and designing analog and digital electronics throughout the book. Extensive pedagogical features including numerous design examples, problem solving technique sections, Test Your Understanding questions, and chapter checkpoints lend to this classic text. The author, Don Neamen, has many years experience as an Engineering Educator. His experience shines through each chapter of the book, rich with realistic examples and practical rules of thumb. The Third Edition continues to offer the same hallmark features that made the previous editions such a success. Extensive Pedagogy: A short introduction at the beginning of each chapter links the new chapter to the material presented in previous chapters. The objectives of the chapter are then presented in the Preview section and then are listed in bullet form for easy reference. Test Your Understanding Exercise Problems with provided answers have all been updated. Design Applications are included at the end of chapters. A specific electronic design related to that chapter is presented. The various stages in the design of an electronic thermometer are explained throughout the text. Specific Design Problems and Examples are highlighted throughout as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book, September 12, 2003

By	Jimmy Desai (India) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Electronic Circuit Analysis with CD-ROM with E-text (Hardcover)

This book is a very good book. Care has been taken to explain details very carefully. There is an extensive list of problems to tackle. But I'd suggest that a reader use this book in conjunction with another more elementary book, Electroinc Principles by Malvino becuase for some readers the extensive usage of mathematical analysis might prove to be a 'turn-off'. However, for an undergrad course, one needs to know what is given in the book and when used in conjuction with Malvino, it makes a winning combination. Overall, a good book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reasonable Introductory Text, July 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Electronic Circuit Analysis and Design (Hardcover)

This book covers most of the standard topics in a third year university course in electronic circuits.

It is accurate, but rather unimaginative. It does not do enough to describe the context in which circuits arise, nor to describe the design process. It also fails to tell the reader what comes next: that is, where is all this going, what is our next course, and so forth.

Its strong point is a lot of problems that, if worked, should provide a good background for the student.

5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed and up-to-date reference, June 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Electronic Circuit Analysis and Design (Hardcover)

A detailed book. Covers a lot on MOS technology and explained how transistors are used in digital electronics. Some good examples too! This book covers those important elements which are left out by introductory or standard books on electronics.
