Summary

For courses in Basic Electronics and Electronic Devices and Circuits. From discrete components to linear integrated circuits, 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 make even complex concepts understandable. *NEW-Added chapter on Communications Circuits-Chapter 17. Provides students with important material on basic receivers, the linear multiplier, amplitude and frequency modulation, and a more detailed discussion on Phase-Locked loops, *NEW-Revised chapter on Operational Amplifiers-Chapter 12. Introduces students to the topics of open-loop and closed-loop response. *NEW-Reorganized format. Moves the chapter on power amplifiers after those on FETS and FET amplifiers for a more logical and easy-to-follow presentation. *NEW-More circuit simulations within
