For courses in Basic Electronics and Electronic Devices and Circuits.From discrete components to linear integrated circuits to programmable analog devices this popular up-to-date 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 and graphical illustrations makes even complex concepts understandable.
