A new full-color edition of this best-selling text! From discrete components to linear integrated circuits, this popular 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 makes even complex concepts understandable. One of the most-visual, best-illustrated texts in the field 197 and now full-color throughout! -- Electronic Devices, Fourth Edition features more than nine hundred drawings, photographs, charts, and diagrams that help visually explain concepts.
