Description:

This new book answers the call for a combined circuit analysis/electronic devices text that emphasizes fundamental concepts, critical thinking, and problem solving. Following the same student-friendly, easy-to-understand format used in Circuit Analysis: Theory and Practice, 3E by Robbins and Miller, topics include: methods of analysis, capacitance, inductance, diodes, op amps, optical devices, and more. Basic electronic devices and their applications are covered in a concise, yet comprehensive manner. Two popular computer application packages, MultiSIM and Cadence® PSpice, both in their latest versions, are integrated throughout to help students learn via hands-on simulation, with step-by-step instructions and full-color screen captures to enhance learning.

Product Benefits:

• thorough coverage of diodes, transistor amplifiers, operational amplifiers, oscillators, thyristors, and optical semiconductor devices illustrates how theory may be applied to real circuits in electronics
• more than 1,600 full color diagrams and photographs illustrate concepts, add clarity, and aid comprehension
• nearly 2,000 combined end-of-chapter questions, practice problems, and "In-Process Learning Checks" encourage students to become active learners by practicing newly acquired skills;
• more than 500 worked-out examples further facilitate critical thinking
• engaging vignettes provide background on the people and events leading to major contributions in the electrical sciences, making learning entertaining while adding a human element to the study of circuits
• "Putting it into Practice" tasks provide added challenge for students, who must reason their way through real-life situations likely to be found on the job
• accompanying CD-ROM features the Textbook Edition of MultiSIM and MultiSIM circuit files
• e.resource includes PowerPoint Presentations ready for class use, an Image Library, and a Computerized Test Bank
• an all-new Online Companion offers RealAudio sound clips that present more in-depth discussions of select topics that often require more attention, plus additional resources for both student and instructor that include online tests, applicable links, and downloadable files
