Summary

At long last， here is the thoroughly revised and updated third edition of the hugely successful The Art of Electronics。 It is widely accepted as the best single authoritative book on electronic circuit design。 In addition to new or enhanced coverage of many topics， the third edition includes 90 oscilloscope screenshots illustrating the behavior of working circuits， dozens of graphs giving highly useful measured data of the sort that is often buried or omitted in datasheets but which you need when designing circuits， and 80 tables （listing some 1650 active components）， enabling intelligent choice of circuit components by listing essential characteristics （both specified and measured） of available parts。 The new Art of Electronics retains the feeling of informality and easy access that helped make the earlier editions so successful and popular。 It is an indispensable reference and the gold standard for anyone， student or researcher， professional or amateur， who works with electronic circuits。

An old favourite， but difficult to read。

It is not brief and even they accept it。 it is a good try to cover everything about electronics。 More of a reference book。 Another book by the same Author "Practical art of electronics" is a better book。 I couldn't finish this book completely since it is super big It is not brief and even they accept it。 it is a good try to cover everything about electronics。 More of a reference book。 Another book by the same Author "Practical art of electronics" is a better book。 I couldn't finish this book completely since it is super big 。。。more

The preface to the first edition claims this book requires no previous exposure to electronics; this is a lie。Or， if not a lie， it at least sets you up for an extremely steep learning curve， not helped any by the authors' annoying habit of using concepts long before they're introduced， and you very much do already need to have a solid enough grounding （haha） in electricity to be able to read circuit diagrams （there's an appendix about them but it's about how to draw good ones rather than bad one The preface to the first edition claims this book requires no previous exposure to electronics; this is a lie。Or， if not a lie， it at least sets you up for an extremely steep learning curve， not helped any by the authors' annoying habit of using concepts long before they're introduced， and you very much do already need to have a solid enough grounding （haha） in electricity to be able to read circuit diagrams （there's an appendix about them but it's about how to draw good ones rather than bad ones， not fundamentals） and to have some familiarity with how it behaves: though the first chapter starts with Ohm's law and the concept of the electron， it skips over a pretty significant middle bit as it throws you into the deep end。If you do have the assumed background （whether you're a hobbyist breadboard toucher or a trained electrical engineer）， The Art of Electronics is a great and extremely practical gap-filler， refresher course， and reference work for everything from simple analog circuits to modern computers。 If you don't， you can probably still pick things up through osmosis， and you'd probably get the most out of it on your second pass through。 At well over a thousand information-dense pages， though， that feels like an extraordinarily laborious way to get into a hobby that has next to no useful applications。（Side note: if you're writing a textbook and removing a chapter for a new edition and find that there are a lot of references to it in other chapters， that's a hint that you shouldn't have cut that chapter， not a reason to tell readers they should own multiple editions of the same book。） 。。。more

This book can be read as a story book from night stand， and I literally do read it before going to sleep。 It would have saved me quite some friction had I gotten this book from the beginning of my electronics learning journey。 - It is loaded with real life devilish down to details advice that one could try to dig days on end from other sources。- Theory is on target， just enough to be enough， described in plain language， expressed in math that everyone can grasp。 - Examples given are usable for c This book can be read as a story book from night stand， and I literally do read it before going to sleep。 It would have saved me quite some friction had I gotten this book from the beginning of my electronics learning journey。 - It is loaded with real life devilish down to details advice that one could try to dig days on end from other sources。- Theory is on target， just enough to be enough， described in plain language， expressed in math that everyone can grasp。 - Examples given are usable for current day applications。Books as good as this make people want to learn stuff。 What else needs to be said。 。。。more

Glorious！

So useful。

Ahmed ，

An amazing piece of work。 The bible reference of electronics engineering。

I've been regularly reading this book for two years now as a reference。 Both the textbook and the laboratory manual that comes with it。 What I would say is that: This book does a poor job at explaining individual topics but that's fine。 The breadth of material needed to talk about electronics is tremendous。 It does a better job than anything I've seen in any medium of telling me enough about a topic to allow me to then look up more elsewhere。 It's ability to serve as a conduit to which I find in I've been regularly reading this book for two years now as a reference。 Both the textbook and the laboratory manual that comes with it。 What I would say is that: This book does a poor job at explaining individual topics but that's fine。 The breadth of material needed to talk about electronics is tremendous。 It does a better job than anything I've seen in any medium of telling me enough about a topic to allow me to then look up more elsewhere。 It's ability to serve as a conduit to which I find information is indispensable。 If this is the only thing you plan on reading you probably won't learn much about electronics。 If you use this as the vessel for which you explore electronics I have no doubt you'll learn a lot。 。。。more

good

Aliasghar Tabrizi ，

Too advanced for beginners， at least in my case。 Read the Transistor section and it's very badly explained unless you know a good deal about transistors。 Literally the worst introduction to transistors I have ever seen， for the past few hours I have been trying to find something worst and it seems impossible。 Too advanced for beginners， at least in my case。 Read the Transistor section and it's very badly explained unless you know a good deal about transistors。 Literally the worst introduction to transistors I have ever seen， for the past few hours I have been trying to find something worst and it seems impossible。 。。。more

I got this book far into my EE life。 I wish I had a copy of it when I was 10。 I suspect that if I had， my entire electronic education would have been vastly different。 This book is suburb at taking simple concepts and explaining them well。 I use it often for a reference and I like to leaf through it for fun。 Every person who has the slightest interest in electronics should have a copy。

Juan Ríos ，

Know as the bible of Electronics， it is the must have knowledge source to master the exciting world of electronics and devices。

Shivam ，

this book makes anyone fell in love with electronics。 Shows actual practical applications of electronics。A classic and must read for any enthusiast。

Ayush Bhat ，

Read this book and you will not need anything else on the same subject。

A classic masterpiece that should be in every Electronics Engineer's library。 A classic masterpiece that should be in every Electronics Engineer's library。 。。。more

This is *the* classic text on electronics， bar none。 My copy is 20 years old （still saving for that 3rd edition， but never mind） and I used it only a few days back as a source for circuit design。 If you are an electronics engineer or technician， you simply must have this book。

Excellent。 Down home practical & accessible introduction to electronics design。
