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, both analog and digital. The art of electronics is explained by stressing the methods actually used by circuit designers--a combination of some basic laws, rules of thumb, and nonmathematical treatment that encourages understanding why and how a circuit works
