This book treats circuits involving active and non-linear components such as diodes and transistors; it is a time that I used this for three courses on circuits and it could have probably been used for more courses. If your circuit analysis is rusty going through the examples carefully will definitely improve your skills. This book follows a steady pace and covers everything from analog amplifiers, analog filters, operational amplifiers, noise sensitivity, basic physics of semiconductor show more operation, the rudiments of control theory and feedback as applied to electronic circuits, signal generators, various families of digital logic circuits, and applications to memory, sampling, plenty of SPICE applications and more. Great text. If you use it for class, keep it as a reference guide. show less
