This book makes comprehension of material a top priority and encourages readers to be active participants in the learning process. The conventional-flow version of this book provides a readable and thorough approach to electronic devices and circuits, and support discussions with an abundance of learning aids to motivate and assist readers at every turn. The sixth edition of this well-established book features significant art improvements throughout, added EWB simulation problems, and a redesigned lab manual. Covered topics include fundamental solid-state principles, common diode applications, amplifiers, oscillators and transistors. For professionals in the field of Electronics Technology.
Since its initial publication in 1989, Introductory Electronic Devices and Circuits has established itself as a leader in student accessibility. Many of the learning aids commonly found in today's electronics textbooks (such as margin definitions, objective identifiers, and summary illustrations) first appeared in the early editions of this well-established text. These learning aids (and more) have been retained in this edition, along with Robert Paynter's straightforward approach to solid-state electronics.
In the sixth edition of Introductory Electronic Devices and Circuits, emphasis has been placed on its art and design. The illustrations have been updated to improve their appeal and to make the component and circuit principles easier to visualize. The art and design improvements, coupled with subtle changes in wording and approach, are sure to enhance the reader's learning experience.
