Topics are not well-put in this textbook. It is not really helpful. There are much better electronics books out there.
Review #2
Good for learning electonics w/PSPICE
This book was required for my electronics class and the only thing it helped me learn was using PSPICE. The explanations of the operations of different devices are not thorough enough. I ended up using the Sedra/Smith Microelectronics for learning the different concepts. I used this book for only required homework problems. I would recommend Sedra/Smith, Microelectronics, for a complete and thorough introduction into electronics and semiconductor devices.
Review #3
Excellent Introduction
This book covers many of the topics in Sedra and Smith, but does so in a very understandable manner. Examples are well chosen and clearly explained. Far clearer than Sedra and Smith.
My choice for an introductory book covering transistor circuits.
