Description

The Art of Electronics: The x Chapters expands on topics introduced in the best selling third edition of The Art of Electronics, completing the broad discussions begun in the latter. In addition to covering more advanced materials relevant to its companion, The x Chapters also includes extensive treatment of many topics in electronics that are particularly novel, important, or just exotic and intriguing. Think of The x Chapters as the missing pieces of The Art of Electronics, to be used either as its complement, or as a direct route to exploring some of the most exciting and oft overlooked topics in advanced electronic engineering. This enticing spread of electronics wisdom and expertise will be an invaluable addition to the library of any student, researcher, or practitioner with even a passing interest in the design and analysis of electronic circuits and instruments. You'll find here techniques and circuits that are available nowhere else! – 524 large-format pages – 50 high-resolution photographs – 24 tables, including MOSFETs, op- amps, drivers, and more – more than 300 circuits, 300 graphs, 100 ‘scope screenshots, and dozens of drawings.

  • Not bad, but still better than most.
Format: Hardcover
Overall this is a good reference for any practicing electrical / electronics engineer, especially in the analog realm. Good info on BJT / FET / OPAmp behavior, and written in a very practical, usable style. The problem with a paper version like this is that it can be out of date pretty quickly when they mention specific part numbers or pricing - at least for some items. It's certainly more up to date than "Art of Electronics" though. One pet peeve is the authors keep referencing figures / tables across different chapters and different books...So it sort of interrupts the flow if you're reading about one thing, and then have to go find the figure they just mentioned in a different chapter...or in some cases jump to a different book. The must have had to make concessions to keep the number of pages down. But still it can jump around a lot. Some of the details on various passive parts are missing, for instance PWW (precision wirewound) resistors are sort of missed, and where's you'd use those in a circuit that needs very low 1/f noise, etc. They talk about the advantages of using SMT parts - but gloss over the fact that sometimes through hole parts are required for high voltage or high board stress applications, etc. In the end it's clear the authors are good profs - but it's obvious their background is more academic, less real world industrial precision. Still, it's certainly one of the better references out there, and I highly recommend. ... show more

  • Perfect follow on to the primary titled book
Format: Hardcover
I purchased this to go along with the primary book with the same title less the "X". An excellent addition to the collection. Would not want to have one without the other.

  • Amazing amount of info packed very densely. Worth 100x the price. 10 stars
Format: Hardcover
Every see an electronics book worth thousands of dollars? Well this one is it. As a practicing RF engineer for over 40 years I don't mind spending $100 on a book with one or two paragraphs that can save me several hours of time. This book is a diamond mine of information. For example, in the capacitor section, in-depth info is presented on the voltage variable sensitivity of class 3 dielectrics, dielectric absorption, microphonics, aging, and ferroelectric properties. And thats just 11 pages of the 500 or so. Well worth every penny. Most analog engineers have been exposed to parts of this info but I have never seen it all in one place. ... show more

  • Best electronics book for learning and lifetime reference
Format: Hardcover
These folks know everything about electronics. No exaggeration, this should be required reading in all EE style degrees and at all design firms as a reference.

  • Informative Book
Format: Hardcover
As an incoming electrical engineering major, this books make the arts of electronics seem very easy and simple to understand, the majority of diagrams are easy to follow and process, and any terms you do not understand their is a dictonary for such words.

  • Excellent book
Format: Hardcover
Unlike the H&H The art of electronics (5 star easily), the X chapter lacks the organization and clarity that made H&H THE electronics book. Hard to say how the material could have been organized better -- etc. and other is a bit of a scattered set of subjects. All in all, it is the electronic text which is so much better than the older ARRL handbooks and project books I learned from half a century ago ... show more

  • Fantastic intro to world of electronics
Format: Hardcover
Being a beginner in the field, I finally got tired of simply aping other people's circuits and desired to acquire some fundamentals myself. The book is vastly overpowered for my needs, but the chapters that do apply to my interests absolutely hit the spot. The only thing I'd improve is that, despite authors' insistence on the importance of *having* intuition, not a lot of effort is devoted to *developing* it gradually. But due to the size of the book, choices probably needed to be made. ... show more

  • Fantastic book
Format: Hardcover
All the details you could ever want regarding electronics. This is a great companion to the Art of Electronics, which is also a fantastic book.
