Unlike books currently on the market, this book attempts to satisfy two goals: combine circuits and electronics into a single, unified treatment, and establish a strong connection with the contemporary world of digital systems. It will introduce a new way of looking not only at the treatment of circuits, but also at the treatment of introductory coursework in engineering in general.
Using the concept of ''abstraction,'' the book attempts to form a bridge between the world of physics and the world of large computer systems. In particular, it attempts to unify electrical engineering and computer science as the art of creating and exploiting successive abstractions to manage the complexity of building useful electrical systems. Computer systems are simply one type of electrical systems.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The book issued by two professors at MIT is intended to initiate a new approach in presenting and developing analog and digital electronics. Traditionally, analog and digital elements and circuits are given in separate courses. Here, the authors want to show that in presenting both topics (analog and digital), a deeper insight of the real problems of the actual electronics is obtained."--Dumitru Stanomir (Bucuresti)
"Elsevier, the academic publishing giant, announced [1] on Tuesday that it will offer a free version of one of its textbooks this fall to students who register for Circuits & Electronics, a massive open online course (MOOC) being offered by edX…The MIT Press text that benefited from a Coursera plug was co-written by Daphne Koller, the co-founder of Coursera. Similarly, the Elsevier textbook that will be featured this fall in Circuits & Electronics was co-written by Anant Agarwal, the president of edX."--Inside HigherEd

5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction to circuits and electronics.
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2012

Many have aspired, but few have succeeded providing a truly top-notch introduction to circuits. Agarwal and Lang, of MIT, hit a home run with this comprehensive introduction, tailor-made for students. The text links theory to everyday applications. So often in college level texts, authors dwell on theory but leave the reader starved for applications. How can I apply this stuff? Why do I need it? These questions are answered in "Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits."

The book clearly and concisely educates the reader not only in circuits, but in application of circuit theory to electronics, both analog and digital. The book is complete with solved exercises and answers to select chapter problems. I just can't praise this book enough.

One word of caution. There are substandard prints of this book available from sellers outside Amazon. I bought a second copy for a friend thinking it was an original run from the publisher. It wasn't in color, had publisher's pages missing from the front, had a couple pages stuck together, and didn't meet the high standards of binding from the publisher. I suggest you ask before you buy used copies from sellers other than Amazon.

Please hit the "I'd like to read this book on Kindle" button, if appropriate. There is a PDF version available from a competitor, but their e-reader required for download has received terrible reviews (crashes, poor performance, no book mark, etc.). It's the same price as the hard copy from Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a readable textbook!
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2012
Verified Purchase
The title, "Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits" is, above all, truth in advertising, and I mean that in a good way. I took the recent online version of the MIT 6.002 and this was the textbook. It starts with the basics: Ohm's Law, Kirchoff's Laws, works its way into RC, RL, and RLC circuits, time constants, Q factor, and of course the differential equations governing them. The good news is that it skips Laplace Transforms (which most of us forget ten minutes after graduation anyway) and nicely bridges the gap between differential equations used in the time diomain and solving circuits in the frequency domain using impedances (s = jw).

The text also delves into basic transistor level design using MOSFETs (CMOS), which are prevalent in digital design, and bipolar devices, which are still used in analog design. MOSFETs are covered starting with the Switched Resistor model and finally for all regions of operation. The text pulls everything together when you start calculating circuit on and off switching times, pulling together the material covered on RC circuits and MOSFETs plus calculating the energy consumed. (Yes, minimizing power consumption is a big thing in the world of chip design and the authors make you aware of it.) When you're done you'll be able to bias a transistor and calculate the circuits small and large signal gain.

The material assumes a basic knowledge of calculus, including some differential equations, along with some basic complex analysis. The course is available online from MIT as open courseware and is also available for download via iTunes University. The math isn't too ghastly and there are several Internet sites that provide tutorials on what's needed plus there's an Appendix in the text.

Disclaimer: I might be a slightly biased MIT alumni who is also a working EE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, and reads great on a Kindle as well
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2013

I agree with most of the positive reviews about this book. It is well written, comprehensive and understandable.

I especially want to add that this book works great on a Kindle Fire HD, or using a Kindle PC app. This is one of the few technical books I have purchased that looks as good on a Kindle as in print. Usually, Kindle tech books have tiny, unreadable equations and other poor quality graphics. This one is an exception: the equations read just fine, and the graphics are great.

Other Kindle authors should take note that it is possible to make good quality technical Kindle books. The formatting is mostly up to the author, not to Amazon.

I would like to praise the shippment and handling system Amazon have because I receive in a short time my book, I am from Zacatecas, México.

According to the book, it is priceless to have a hardcopy on hands, instead of the online copy free availabe at the online course. This is an excellent book, but you have to pass through all the assignments and online explanations in order to fall in love with this book, because it is so deep in knowledge, but is one of the best book in the matter of analog elctronics I have read.

I know the authors wants you to think on your own, but the book could have used a few more examples in some of the chapters. Its been 50 years since I have taken a first course in electrical engineering and the authors do a great job in refreshing detailed areas I have forgotten. As one of my hobbies as a retired electrical engineer, I review, study, and do the problems at the end of each chapter as if I was taking the course in college. I would give the book a 5 star rating!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book to learn about real world circuits
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2013

I took an online course through MIT on circuit analysis because it is a hobby of mine (I'm an engineer/full time nerd). The professor who taught the class wrote this book. The guy was very knowledgeable and funny. I had the eBook version of this but I can't stand reading eBook's for Textbooks. I bought this and have really enjoyed the knowledge gained from it. It teaches you about how circuits really work in the real world and what happens at failure etc. When I took physics in college it was all theoretical which is necessary but isn't as useful when building your own circuits. This touches on the theoretical backgrounds of the theories and then gets into what it actually means and does. It teaches you about the differences in analog and digital (I really enjoyed the section about digital signals). I recommend this book to hobbyists and academics alike. I initially bought a physics textbook to help me with my circuit design but it lacked in material. This was perfect and I still use it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ottimo per una comprensione dell'elettronica
Reviewed in Italy on January 5, 2014
Verified Purchase
Testo che accompagna il corso online dallo stesso titolo nella piattaforma Edx.
Veramente eccellente e comprensibile, tenta di creare nel lettore una valutazione intuitiva dei circuiti che, comunque, sono studiati in modo rigoroso e attento con il formalismo matematico adeguato. Non è facile capire se riesce ad ottenere il risultato sperato, saltare dalla comprensione del formalismo matematico all'intuizione informale dei circuiti elettronici è il passaggio auspicabile che ci rende padroni della materia: ma non sappiamo quale alchimia di studio, conoscenza, intelligenza e insegnamento lo renda possibile, se non addirittura necessario. Bisogna dire che il testo di A. Agarwal ci prova in tutti i modi, perché possiamo diventare padroni della materia, se non come lui, almeno ad un livello accettabile.
Testo impareggiabile se accompagnato dai video e dal corso Edx, penso che possa essere utilizzato bene anche per l'autoapprendimento.
Se proprio vogliamo trovare qualche pecca, possiamo dire che i sommari alla fine dei capitoli rischiano di essere o troppo concisi o troppo prolissi per essere dei sommari utili che richiamano rapidamente il capitolo studiato, ma è proprio come cercare il pelo nell'uovo.
In definitiva testo indispensabile per chi voglia passare dalla pratica alla teoria dell'elettronica, sia analogica che digitale. A. Agarwal ci accompagna con passo deciso e fermo verso una reale comprensione del circuito elettronico, attraverso il necessario formalismo matematico, ma mirando verso una intuizione e reale padronanza della materia.
