At long last, here is the thoroughly revised and updated third edition of the hugely successful The Art of Electronics. It is widely accepted as the best single authoritative book on electronic circuit design. In addition to new or enhanced coverage of many topics, the third edition includes 90 oscilloscope screenshots illustrating the behavior of working circuits, dozens of graphs giving highly useful measured data of the sort that is often buried or omitted in datasheets but which you need when designing circuits, and 80 tables (listing some 1650 active components), enabling intelligent choice of circuit components by listing essential characteristics (both specified and measured) of available parts. The new Art of Electronics retains the feeling of informality and easy access that helped make the earlier editions so successful and popular. It is an indispensable reference and the gold standard for anyone, student or researcher, professional or amateur, who works with electronic circuits.

A LOT of information
This is a fairly weighty book, and for good reason. There is so much to learn here, and the math required to do such isn’t really complicated.

This Book Lives on my Workbench
Overall, this book is really great. It covers a wide range of topics. It presents some relevant theory and historical perspectives. And, it contains schematics of sample circuits and references part numbers of components currently in production. Keep in mind that the 3rd edition of this book was published in 2015 so there are definitely some more contemporary components out there but often they are still made by the same manufacturer.One of my favorite parts about owning this book though is that it has often been quicker, less frustrating, and more illuminating than doing a simple online search when I first sit down to design a circuit. Of course, this statement should be treated with a caveat: I am not a professional electrical engineer. I don’t have any educational nor vocational experience in analog electronics, and I’m not designing insanely complicated circuits. Most of what I have learned comes from this book, online forums, and technical datasheets from manufacturers.Because of this, I would say it is an incredibly beginner friendly text for those designing circuits. It does contain math, uses technical vocabulary, and asks you to read a schematic/graph/table, but these are all well labeled, accurately defined, and clearly depicted. I haven’t found myself lost because of a simple omission that the authors felt was too obvious to mention nor a poorly defined or ambiguous term. Needless to say, it sits happily on my workbench full of notes and a couple burn marks from my soldering iron.

Informativeâ¦
My background: Yeah, I know a little about electricity, some formulas, can fix some wires, use a multimeter for resistance, volts, amps, eric, but want to build some stuff that is more on the microprocessor side, so enter this book into the Amazon search barâ¦Results – You’re going to be searching the interwebz a lot for some of the formulas he jumps into right off the bat. BUT⦠authors are good at taking a practical approach. You’ll do understanding more and more almost immediately. He does start off with stuff most people looking into this would know, so it’s kind of a review of basics before getting rolling. I can see very quickly why advanced guys consult other books, but search engines have same info to understand the book as well.

An impressive book
This is a very impressive book. I can see why many consider it the Bible of electronic circuits. Packed with a tremendous amount of information…I know it will save me well.

Must have. Instructive and reference. The Bible of electronics.
This is THE must have book if you have any interest in electronic circuit design or need a better understanding of electronics and you don’t want to go through a year of calculus first. Whether you’re a student, a tech, a maker, an EE major or graduate, a scientist, a part time hobbyist or something else and want to gain an understanding or especially master electronics, then get this book. The shipping was true Amazon Prime fast and the price that was the cheapest I’ve found. The book is a 1000 page hardcover thing that starts at the component level of introduction and quickly develops into a very accessible compendium of useful how to practical understanding and teaching that it will take what ever it is you are doing and just make you sharper. You know? It’s one of those tools that will give you an edge. I find this book is too good to put on the shelf. I like to keep it nearby. For fun, you may want to look up the YouTube interview that the author Paul Horowitz did with Adafruit. The interview will give the history and philosophy and reason for the book in addition to content insight. Fascinating stuff.

The most important and inspiring book on electronics there is.
To me, there is no one more important book in my life than H&H. I certainly do not know of a better electronics text (and I like electronics texts).Further, I believe my career in engineering boils down to a few distinct pushes in that direction before it was in my blood (and therefore too late). One of the big ones was getting a copy of AoE 2nd Edition in school.So, I would have bought the 3rd edtion no matter what.Incredibly, the 3rd edition has expanded many of the things I loved about the 2nd edition. The section on low noise design is much better and much more useful and it was pretty great before. The digital stuff is obviously much more relevant (although it may not stay that way). The “circuits from the masters” sections and the case studies of specific circuit designs are fascinating and useful (although I do miss the hilarious “bad circuits” sections).Finally, and most importantly, you can tell that H&H themselves were active engineers in the world between the last edition and this one — building circuits and solving problems and reading other works and being influenced by the work and scholarship and generally just continuing to rule. The dedication to Jim Williams showed that like me and all other analog nerds I know out there, they had been eagerly reading all his stuff. The section on microcontrollers exactly parallels some of the design ideas, biases, and gut feelings that I and other embedded engineers have taken the past fifteen years developing by plowing through all the exciting architecture and tool changes that have happened from EEPROM PICs to ARMs.Finally, the intellectual integrity, raw practicality, and HANDS-ON-ness of this book are unparalleled. If everybody were required to read this book before designing circuits, there would be a lot fewer crappy circuits out there.Oh, yeah. And it’s fun, too.

Excellent Book but no solutions to chapter problems
Excellent book for someone with some electrical engineering, electronics or physics background. This book is well written for principle of circuits design however it is not for the beginner.The book has no available solutions which makes activities harder.

Fantastic book
Get this book if you are interested in electronics. It is a thoroughly researched and fact checked. If I could only have 1 electronics book, this would be it.

If you are into electronics or want to learn, this book is a must. It cover a lot of topics and it’s quite on point and with direct usability if you want to design electronics. Keep in mind this is about electronics using the fundamental components (resistors, transistors, capacitors, etc.). If you are just a weekend Arduino “warrior” this book will not help you a lot. If you are a super beginner then this book might be a bit hard to digest but if you have a bit of basic understanding of current, resistance, voltage, etc. it is very useful.

damaged book
Emil –
I was worried because of other comments about poor quality. But I received a book in decent condition, nice paper and printing. Overall there is a slight bend and tear in the upper right corner, but considering where it comes from, how massive is this book and the price compared to others offering the same book for the range between 105 – 165 euros, it is a perfect choice.So I give 5 stars as I can safely recommend the seller and the book itself.

Libro estupendo.
