From discrete components, to linear integrated circuits, to programmable analog devices, this popular, up-to-date devices book takes a strong systems approach that identifies the circuits and components within a system, and helps learners 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.Coverage is carefully balanced between discrete and integrated circuits, while extensive use of examples and graphical illustrations makes even complex concepts understandable. In-depth discussions involve programmable analog devices, advanced integrated circuits, optical topics, and enhanced system applications. Also included strong coverage of troubleshooting; hundreds of full-color photographs, illustrations, and system schematics; over 160 worked examples; 1400 exercises; and extensive problems using Multisim circuit simulation.For electronic engineers.
