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.

Semiconductor Data Book, 11th Edition presents tables for ratings and characteristics of transistors and multiple transistors; silicon field effect transistors; unijunction transistors; low power-, variable-, power rectifier-, silicon reference-, and light emitting diodes; photodetectors; triacs; thyristors; lead identification; and transistor comparable types. The book starts by providing an introduction and explanation of tables and manufacturers' codes and addresses. Professionals requiring such data about semiconductors will find the book useful.
