The Art of Electronics: The x Chapters

Overall this is a good reference for any practicing electrical / electronics engineer, especially in the analog realm. Good info on BJT / FET / OPAmp behavior, and written in a very practical, usable style. The problem with a paper version like this is that it can be out of date pretty quickly when they mention specific part numbers or pricing - at least for some items. It's certainly more up to date than "Art of Electronics" though. One pet peeve is the authors keep referencing figures / tables across different chapters and different books...So it sort of interrupts the flow if you're reading about one thing, and then have to go find the figure they just mentioned in a different chapter...or in some cases jump to a different book. The must have had to make concessions to keep the number of pages down. But still it can jump around a lot. Some of the details on various passive parts are missing, for instance PWW (precision wirewound) resistors are sort of missed, and where's you'd use those in a circuit that needs very low 1/f noise, etc. They talk about the advantages of using SMT parts - but gloss over the fact that sometimes through hole parts are required for high voltage or high board stress applications, etc. In the end it's clear the authors are good profs - but it's obvious their background is more academic, less real world industrial precision. Still, it's certainly one of the better references out there, and I highly recommend.

This book covers advanced topics that didn't make to the main AoE book. There are 5 chapters: 1.- Real World Passive Components 2.- Advanced BJT topics 3.- Advanced FET topics 4.- Advanced topics in Operational Amplifiers 5.- Advanced topics in Power Control So, as you can see, its focused on analog electronics. The chapters are full of gold nuggets, the quality of the book is the same as the AoE 3rd edition, however the book is a lot thinner, its obvious, there is less content, still there are a total of 483 pages not counting the index which makes this a complete book on its own. It is definitely worth the money, if you like the original AoE dont hesitate to buy this one!

There are a number of design problems I've faced that this book addresses in some capacity. It's impossible to have a perfect cookbook for the exact application you need, but the information laid out in the x Chapters are a good starting point to at least start playing around in simulation. The very first chapter is probably the most useful. This goes over the real-world performance of wires, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, relays etc. There are rules of thumb to keep in mind, trade-offs between attenuation of competing parasitics, solutions to one problem may introduce a problem elsewhere in the design... I think this info will give any electrical engineer the ability to have a solid foundation on which to build intuition (after many years) of analog and digital design.

No issues with the book - high quality paper, hard cover, same as main volume of the AoE.

All of the drawings/illustrations were crisp and easy to read. Interesting information. One complaint is there are very few design equations for the circuits described. Although, the circuit description are very detailed. I prefer that the details in the descriptions appear as design equations instead.

No issues with book. It is a great resource to compliment the 3rd edition book and lab book. Quality binding. No issues with the quality of the print or paper. Pleasure to add this to my review.

This provides nice expansions for certain topics touched upon in the Art of Electronics: Third Edition. AoE is one of my favorite sources, and this is a wonderful addition.

These chapters cover in depth more electronics theory. I was hoping for some coverage of rf to a greater degree some discussion of mixers, circulators, rf maps but alas no. Still an excellent book.

For the price, I expect a book printed with better optical reading quality than the free yellow pages that gets dumped on my doorstep each year.

Excellent book. Works with the 3rd edition book as an excellent companion book.

Excellent book. Works with the 3rd edition book as an excellent companion book.

This book has a lot of actual experience in it. That is more valuable that theory. I enjoy reading of other people's experiences in design and how they solved challenges.

The original was the best -- this is in the same vein.

Like the other associated books very nicely put together. Advanced content with interesting strategic handling.

A significant supliment to THE classic book on Electronic Circuit Design. As usual, the authors dive into the details, while never losing sight of what is essential, and what is not.

Good read

A most readable text book. Practical and wonderfully current.

This book is a great extension to the Art of Electronics. The additional detail is a welcome companion to the third edition. The content is at a higher technical level and more concisely written so it is very much targeted towards experienced electronics engineers and likely to be intimidating to newcomers. Whilst the text is excellent, the quality of the book itself is rather poor. The pages are overly glossy and too thin (or too translucent). The text on the reverse of each page is clearly visible through the paper. Also, the book was dispatched in a flimsy cardboard envelope which allowed the corners of mine to become damaged in transit.

This much anticipated followup to the Art of Electronics has covered many of the topics I found missing from the original. I always like having it on hand when problem solving. It is also particularly useful when needing to get a feel for unfamiliar components due to the whole-page photos of different packages.

I have this to hand when designing - not run of the mill digital etc, but I'll pretty musch always drop in on the relevent sections when looking for anything that is a bit stretching - wide range precision, high accuracy - temperature stability etc, protection... I like the whole series, but these books really help flesh out the design process, seeing problems, looking at experiences and making better choices, particualrly handy when going back to analogue circuits where familiarity is waning a bit. I too find the paper a bit thin and transparent, but printing quality, binding etc are all fine.

Numerous welcome additions over the original. Some really great insight throughout, and in particular finally talks (at least a bit) about power electronics. Be warned, this is very much a companion to AoE 3rs edition, and is of limited utility without it.

Overall this is a good reference for any practicing electrical / electronics engineer, especially in the analog realm. Good info on BJT / FET / OPAmp behavior, and written in a very practical, usable style.

Excellent book. Works with the 3rd edition book as an excellent companion book.

It does exactly what it says on the flyleaf - it adds to the content of the main volume 'The Art of Electronics', giving evidence supported by clear description and experiments. Much raw data is given together with careful analysis - highly recommended for the electronics engineer wishing to delve more deeply into the whys and wherefores behind the bare facts.

Then this is a book for you. It is a great companion book to THE 'Art of Electronics' book.

Libro che va ad integrare il the AoE3. Purtroppo devo annotare anche qui la pessima gestione di magazzino di Amazon riservata ai libri: trattano i libri (delicati e spessissimo non incelofanati dalla casa editrice) come se fossero bulloni in ferramenta. Copertine rovinate, piegate, strappate,... A volte ho dovuto rendere lo stesso libro più e più volte. Anche questo l’ho reso perché gli spigoli della copertina rigida erano rovinati. Tornando al libro, va ad analizzare nel dettaglio alcuni elementi dei capitoli del libro madre, il the Art Of electronics 3a edizione. Chiaro e amichevole nelle spiegazioni, quanto lo è Paul Horowitz nelle sue lezioni. Libro 5 stelle, Amazon (stranamente) 1 stella. Per fortuna sono efficienti con i resi.

This publication sees the usual quality of Horowitz & Hill outright ruined by the worst printing job for a textbook I've ever had the displeasure of owning. Tissue-thin paper, inaccurate cutting and a binding that sits askew. Wait for the pdf to show up on libgen rather than wasting your money on this rag.

Teniendo la tercera edición de los otros 2, era necesario y no me ha defraudado, en la linea de la tercera edición, añade información no realmente necesaria (a mis ojos) pero útil. Eso sí, gestionado de manera erronea, precio excesivo en comparación a los 2 libros originales amén de sentirme castigado por comprarlo en cuanto ha salido a la venta (en 7 días el precio ha bajado algunos euros). Era un libro que sí o sí, yo iba a comprar y aquí, pero me siento decepcionado por la manera de gestionar su venta.

Extra insight in some chapters of the main book. Good presentation, some pages are a bit blurred (appears the paint didn't had enough time to dry) but does not prevent you from reading and understanding the subject.

Que dire, à part qu'il s'agit du complément du célébrissime "The Art of Electronics" 3e édition, et qu'il était attendu depuis... quelques années. Se lit relativement facilement même si on est pas un crack en anglais (anglais technique). Conseillé à toute personne intéressé par l'électronique.

Mieux qu'un complément à AoE. Un véritable ouvrage à part entière, extrêmement bien construit, documenté, étayé. On retrouve le style très clair de son grand frère qu'il fait bien mieux que de compléter et approfondir. Si vous avez AoE, il vous est indispensable, si vous ne l'avez pas...aussi!

Es ist gut, dass die Tiefe der Berechnungen hier gegenüber dem Hauptbuch vertieft sind.

P&W are back with the much awaited X Chapters. Amazing stuff. Good binding and print. No issues with paper quality either.

Overall this is a good reference for any practicing electrical / electronics engineer, especially in the analog realm. Good info on BJT / FET / OPAmp behavior, and written in a very practical, usable style. The problem with a paper version like this is that it can be out of date pretty quickly when they mention specific part numbers or pricing - at least for some items. It's certainly more up to date than "Art of Electronics" though. One pet peeve is the authors keep referencing figures / tables across different chapters and different books...So it sort of interrupts the flow if you're reading about one thing, and then have to go find the figure they just mentioned in a different chapter...or in some cases jump to a different book. The must have had to make concessions to keep the number of pages down. But still it can jump around a lot. Some of the details on various passive parts are missing, for instance PWW (precision wirewound) resistors are sort of missed, and where's you'd use those in a circuit that needs very low 1/f noise, etc. They talk about the advantages of using SMT parts - but gloss over the fact that sometimes through hole parts are required for high voltage or high board stress applications, etc. In the end it's clear the authors are good profs - but it's obvious their background is more academic, less real world industrial precision. Still, it's certainly one of the better references out there, and I highly recommend.

This book covers advanced topics that didn't make to the main AoE book. There are 5 chapters: 1.- Real World Passive Components 2.- Advanced BJT topics 3.- Advanced FET topics 4.- Advanced topics in Operational Amplifiers 5.- Advanced topics in Power Control So, as you can see, its focused on analog electronics. The chapters are full of gold nuggets, the quality of the book is the same as the AoE 3rd edition, however the book is a lot thinner, its obvious, there is less content, still there are a total of 483 pages not counting the index which makes this a complete book on its own. It is definitely worth the money, if you like the original AoE dont hesitate to buy this one!

There are a number of design problems I've faced that this book addresses in some capacity. It's impossible to have a perfect cookbook for the exact application you need, but the information laid out in the x Chapters are a good starting point to at least start playing around in simulation. The very first chapter is probably the most useful. This goes over the real-world performance of wires, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, relays etc. There are rules of thumb to keep in mind, trade-offs between attenuation of competing parasitics, solutions to one problem may introduce a problem elsewhere in the design... I think this info will give any electrical engineer the ability to have a solid foundation on which to build intuition (after many years) of analog and digital design.

No issues with the book - high quality paper, hard cover, same as main volume of the AoE.

All of the drawings/illustrations were crisp and easy to read. Interesting information. One complaint is there are very few design equations for the circuits described. Although, the circuit description are very detailed. I prefer that the details in the descriptions appear as design equations instead.

No issues with book. It is a great resource to compliment the 3rd edition book and lab book. Quality binding. No issues with the quality of the print or paper. Pleasure to add this to my review.

This provides nice expansions for certain topics touched upon in the Art of Electronics: Third Edition. AoE is one of my favorite sources, and this is a wonderful addition.

These chapters cover in depth more electronics theory. I was hoping for some coverage of rf to a greater degree some discussion of mixers, circulators, rf maps but alas no. Still an excellent book.

For the price, I expect a book printed with better optical reading quality than the free yellow pages that gets dumped on my doorstep each year.

Excellent book. Works with the 3rd edition book as an excellent companion book.

The book covers topics outside the range of those covered in the previous two volumes and brings up to date some of that material. It also introduces some more practical detail.

With this book and the other one, you will get a very good collection of electronics bibliography. You will only just need a couple of more books for Op-Amps and power.

Lange erwartet.....

Klasse

alles gut

This chapter completes the book "the art of electronics" with nice practical issues and advanced topics

Livre très intéressant en complément du livre de base. Etant dans le métier de l'électronique, j'ai beaucoup apprécié d'y trouver des informations "avancées"difficiles à trouver ailleurs que dans des publications beaucoup plus spécialisées.

Sinnvolle Ergänzung.

If you want to dig deeper in the "secrets" of analog electronics this is the perfect book

Pas de surprise, comme le premier volume, cette suite est excellente. Un peu déçu cependant par la livraison qui à tendance à abimer les livres.

There are 5 chapters: 1.- Real World Passive Components 2.- Advanced BJT topics 3.- Advanced FET topics 4.- Advanced topics in Operational Amplifiers 5.- Advanced topics in Power Control So, as you can see, its focused on analog electronics. The chapters are full of gold nuggets, the quality of the book is the same as the AoE 3rd edition, however the book is a lot thinner, its obvious, there is less content, still there are a total of 483 pages not counting the index which makes this a complete book on its own. It is definitely worth the money, if you like the original AoE dont hesitate to buy this one!

There are a number of design problems I've faced that this book addresses in some capacity. It's impossible to have a perfect cookbook for the exact application you need, but the information laid out in the x Chapters are a good starting point to at least start playing around in simulation. The very first chapter is probably the most useful. This goes over the real-world performance of wires, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, relays etc. There are rules of thumb to keep in mind, trade-offs between attenuation of competing parasitics, solutions to one problem may introduce a problem elsewhere in the design... I think this info will give any electrical engineer the ability to have a solid foundation on which to build intuition (after many years) of analog and digital design.

No issues with the book - high quality paper, hard cover, same as main volume of the AoE.

All of the drawings/illustrations were crisp and easy to read. Interesting information. One complaint is there are very few design equations for the circuits described. Although, the circuit description are very detailed. I prefer that the details in the descriptions appear as design equations instead.

No issues with book. It is a great resource to compliment the 3rd edition book and lab book. Quality binding. No issues with the quality of the print or paper. Pleasure to add this to my review.

This provides nice expansions for certain topics touched upon in the Art of Electronics: Third Edition. AoE is one of my favorite sources, and this is a wonderful addition.

These chapters cover in depth more electronics theory. I was hoping for some coverage of rf to a greater degree some discussion of mixers, circulators, rf maps but alas no. Still an excellent book.

For the price, I expect a book printed with better optical reading quality than the free yellow pages that gets dumped on my doorstep each year.

Excellent book. Works with the 3rd edition book as an excellent companion book.
