This new text by Denton J. Dailey covers both discrete and integrated components. Among the many features that students will find helpful in understanding the material are the following: Concept icons in the margins signify that topical coverage relates to other fields and areas of electronics, such as communications, microprocessors, and digital electronics. These icons help the reader to answer the question, "Why is it important for me to learn this?" Key terms presented in each chapter are defined in the margins to reinforce students' understanding. Chapter objectives introduce each chapter and provide students with a roadmap of topics to be covered.

This textbook for a one-semester course in Electrical Circuits and Devices is written to be concise, understandable, and applicable. Every new concept is illustrated with numerous examples and figures, in order to facilitate learning. The simple and clear style of presentation is complemented by a spiral and modular approach to the topic. This method supports the learning of those who are new to the field, as well as provides in-depth coverage for those who are more experienced. The author discusses electronic devices using a spiral approach, in which key devices such as diodes and transistors are first covered with simple models that beginning students can easily understand. After the reader has grasped the fundamental concepts, the topics are covered again with greater depth in the latter chapters.

For upper-level courses in devices and circuits, at 2-year or 4-year engineering and technology institutes. Highly accurate and thoroughly updated, this text has set the standard in electronic devices and circuit theory for over 25 years. Boylestad offers students a complete and comprehensive survey, focusing on all the essentials they will need to succeed on the job. This very readable presentation is supported by strong pedagogy and content that is ideal for new students of this rapidly changing field. Its colorful, student-friendly layout boasts a large number of stunning photographs. A broad range of ancillary materials is available for instructor support. *NEW -Over 40 new end-of-chapter practical examples added throughout - Provides an understanding of the design process not normally available at this level. This helps students apply content to real-world situations and makes material more meaningful. *NEW - Expanded coverage of computer software - Adds coverage of Mathcad to illustrate the versatility of the package for use in electronics - keeping students up to date on a rapidly changing part of the field. *NEW - Summaries added to the end of every chapter - Uses boldface

A revised edition which reflects the growing use of computer software and packaged IC units. It offers a detailed study of electronics devices and circuit theory. Divided into two parts, it covers the dc analysis and the ac or frequency response.
