Electronic Devices (Conventional Flow Version) (6th Edition)

From discrete components to linear integrated circuits, this popular, up-to-date book on devices takes a strong systems approach that identifies the circuits and components within a system, and helps readers see how the circuit relates to the overall system function. Floyd is well known for straightforward, understandable explanations of complex concepts, as well as for non-technical, on-target treatment of mathematics. His coverage is carefully balanced between discrete and integrated circuits and his extensive use of examples makes even complex concepts understandable. Chapter topics cover diode applications, special-purpose diodes, bipolar junction transistors, transistor bias circuits, bipolar junction transistors amplifiers, field effect transistors, FET amplifiers, power amplifiers, amplifier frequency response, thyristors and other devices, operational amplifiers, basic op-amp applications, special-purpose op-amp circuits, active filters, oscillators, communications circuits, and voltage regulators. For electronics technicians and technologists, engineers, and electronics instructors.

In the Floyd tradition of writing excellence, this best-selling text provides comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of electronic devices and circuits in a format that is clearly written and superbly illustrated. As in prior editions, Electronic Devices, Sixth Edition, not only delivers the most current information in a style that is engaging, concise, and easy to read; it reinforces the material learned with a host of features designed to strengthen readers' understanding and retention. From its multitude of worked-out examples and related problems to its carefully selected System Applications, Troubleshooting Sections, and exercises using Electronics Workbench™ circuit simulations, this book offers its readers the most thorough instruction available in the field today.

Electronic Devices, Sixth Edition, is ideally suited for any one- or two-semester course covering discrete devices and/or integrated circuits.
