Hallmark Features

  • Systems approach.
    • As in prior editions, this edition represents an exhaustive effort to enhance the material that introduces the concept of system engineering.
    • For ac analysis, the text emphasizes the difference between the no-load and loaded gain, including examples of how each affects the gain and characteristics of a system.
    • Entire sections remain to demonstrate the impact of the source and load resistance on the system response, although now the material is an integral part of the ac analysis chapter of the device under discussion.
  • Visual presentation.
    • This text represents a concerted effort to ensure that important statements and conclusions stand out in boldface and/or color.
    • Color is used for instructional purposes wherever appropriate to identify important parameters, network regions, and results — and to enhance the understanding of figures.
    • This approach improves readability. Summaries and equation lists appear near the end of each chapter for review and study.
  • Practical applications.
    • There are more than 100 practical applications at the end of each chapter, helping students learn how theory is applied in real-world settings.
    • All applications are current with the latest changes in the industrial community.
  • Computer analyses.
    • The computer coverage in this text extends beyond what you'll find in competing texts.
    • The latest versions of PSpice, Multisim, and Mathcad are covered in specific sections throughout the text, including descriptions of important differences in the application of each software package.
    • PSpice and Multisim are both covered in an effort to ensure students are familiar with software packages they might use in future studies or the real world — or both.
  • Circuit files provided.
    • Selected circuit diagrams in the text are rendered in Multisim 2001, Multisim 7, and PSpice 9.2 and these circuit files are provided on the book's CD-ROM and for quick, easy download at the book's companion website (www.prenhall.com/boylestad).
    • Multisim and PSpice are widely regarded as excellent simulation tools for classroom and laboratory learning but students don't necessarily have to use these circuit files with this textbook.
    • Circuits created in later more current releases of Multisim and PSpice may also be available at the companion website.
  • Companion website at www.prenhall.com/boylestad
    • Contains Multisim and PSpice circuit files, chapter summary reviews, and additional multiple choice questions, providing students with an interactive resource that brings the subject matter to life.

This edition is updated to include:

  • Chapter 4, "DC Biasing – BJTs," now includes collector feedback configuration, emitter follower configuration, common-base configuration, current mirror circuits, current source circuits, pnp transistors, transistor switching networks, and troubleshooting techniques.
  • Chapter 7, "FET Biasing," now includes common-gate configuration and special case.
  • Chapter 9, "BJT and JFET Frequency Response," now includes a section on normalization process.
