Published
UK, 1 July 1989

This is the thoroughly revised and updated Second Edition of the hugely successful The Art of Electronics. Widely accepted as the single, authoritative text and reference on electronic circuit design, both analog and digital, this book has sold over 120,000 copies, and has been translated into eight languages. This book revolutionized the teaching of electronics by emphasizing the methods actually used by circuit designers--a combination of some basic laws, rules of thumb, and a large bag of tricks. The result is a largely nonmathematical treatment that encourages circuit intuition, brain storming, and simplified calculations of circuit values and performance. This completely new edition responds to the breakneck pace of change in electronics with totally rewritten chapters on microcomputers and microprocessors, substantially revised chapters on digital electronics, on op-amps and precision design, and on construction techniques. Every table has been revised, and many new ones have been added. The new Art of Electronics retains the feeling of informality and easy access that made the first edition so successful and popular.

Reviews

'The best self-teaching book and reference book in electronics ... The beauty and fun of electronics shows through.' Radio Communication 'Full of clever circuits and sharp insights, but with a surprising minimum of mathematics ... The depth is genuine, as is the richness of examples, data and apt tricks.' Scientific American 'Far and away the finest book on the subject of electronics ... in the last decade. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone whose research or experiments require some electronics.' Optical Engineering 'Another electronics textbook that became an international best-seller ... the book is renowned for presenting the techniques that circuit designers actually use.' IEEE Spectrum

Probably the best book on actually learning the process of electronic design (as apart from college texts on what equation to parrot forth for an exam). Somewhat dated in some respects (like microprocessors), but still spot on for a lot of the analog stuff. This must be a good book, I have lent out copies and had grave trouble in getting them back!

This book is extremely useful for someone learning electronics. The authors approach is to teach you only what you actually have to know in order to become a good circuit designer. This book does not eschew theory, it just doesn't teach you any theory that isn't actually used by designers in the real world. I have read this book several times through, and I would not pretend that I understood even 1/2 of what is in it. However, as the authors point out, electronics is a subject that is absorbed slowly over a long period of time. Therefore I think that it would be worth owning this book, despite the large price tag.
