Electronic Principles, eighth edition, continues its tradition as a clearly explained, in-depth introduction to electronic semiconductor devices and circuits. This text- book is intended for students who are taking their fi rst course in linear electronics. The prerequisites are a dc/ac circuits course, algebra, and some trigonometry. Electronic Principles provides essential understanding of semiconductor device characteristics, testing, and the practical circuits in which they are found. The text provides clearly explained concepts—written in an easy-to-read conver- sational style—establishing the foundation needed to understand the operation and troubleshooting of electronic systems. Practical circuit examples, applica- tions, and troubleshooting exercises are found throughout the chapters. This seventh edition of Malvino's classic 'Electronic Principles' offers students a definitive overview of electronic circuits and devices. Expert knowledge of electronic devices is presented in a stimulating, clearly written, conversational style. The new, streamlined book design is full-color throughout, with ample, clear illustrations. Greater emphasis on modern integrated circuit (IC) technology, and the revision of nearly one third of the previous edition's chapter problems and review questions refresh this text while retaining its proven approach. In addition to the text there is a wealth of supplementary material included for both student and instructor.It includes an upgraded Experiments Manual, the optional use of MultiSIM software, an instructor's manual with an Instructor Productivity Center CD-ROM, and the brand new Online Learning Center website make this text a powerful learning tool. 'Electronic Principles' is written for electronics students who have done course work in basic DC/AC circuit analysis, along with algebra and trigonometry prerequisites. The book gives clear, accessible coverage of basic electronics concepts in the first half of the book, then applies these to the important electronic circuits and devices most widely used in today's industry. concepts—written in an easy-to-read conver- sational style—establishing the foundation needed to understand the operation and troubleshooting of electronic systems.
