Synopsis

Providing a practical, hands-on approach to the subject by encouraging students to be active participants in learning the material, this text provides performance-based objectives to enable the students to measure their own progress by informing them what they are expected to be able to do as a result of their studies. Objective Identifiers in the margins are cross-referenced with the material in each chapter which helps students to quickly locate material that will help them fulfill a given objective. Margin Notes include a running glossary of new terms, notes that highlight the difference between theory and practice, and reminders of principles covered in earlier chapters. In-chapter practice problems in the examples provide students with an immediate opportunity to apply the demonstrated principles and Summary Illustrations provide a convenient summary of circuit operating principles and applications. There are also Brain Drain problems at the end of every chapter.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Since its initial publication in 1989, Introductory Electronic Devices and Circuits has established itself as a leader in student accessibility. Many of the learning aids commonly found in today's electronics textbooks (such as margin definitions, objective identifiers, and summary illustrations) first appeared in the early editions of this well-established text. These learning aids (and more) have been retained in this edition, along with Robert Paynter's straightforward approach to solid-state electronics.

In the sixth edition of Introductory Electronic Devices and Circuits, emphasis has been placed on its art and design. The illustrations have been updated to improve their appeal and to make the component and circuit principles easier to visualize. The art and design improvements, coupled with subtle changes in wording and approach, are sure to enhance the reader's learning experience.
