Takes students from the basics of discrete devices to applications with linear integrated circuits and operational amplifiers, focusing on key devices concepts rather than mathematics. Learning features include margin notes, chapter outlines and objective identifiers, worked examples, practice and troubleshooting problems, key terms and equations, and chapter section review questions. This reviewer could discern no difference between the "conventional flow version" and the original fourth edition. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
