The Art of Electronics 3rd Edition PDF

“Who among us has not kept a cherished copy of AoE on our workbench throughout our careers? Engineers, hackers, and makers of all stripes, rejoice! The third edition has been worth the wait! Packed with tons of delicious knowledge to navigate electronics in both work and hobby. [The Art of Electronics] is an encyclopedia of electronics knowledge, a pleasure to read through for tips and tricks, and an unbeatable resource. Take a day out to read a chapter; you will learn things you didn't even know you didn't know. Or, refer to the pinouts, diagrams, and techniques as necessary to guide you through a difficult project. If you think electrical engineering is magical, then you must pick up this tome.”
Limor ‘Ladyada' Fried, Adafruit Industries.

“First of all, after I forwarded [Chapter 5] onto my reading table, I sat down and read it. It is simply spectacular. That may be overly exclamatory language, but it is the only appropriate verbiage I can summon. Spectacular, deep, and wide.” I particularly like the comments about interpreting specifications, and the deconstruction of the Agilent voltmeters is just fantastic.”
Jim Williams, Linear Technology Corp.

“Wow. Chapter 5 describes every circuit artifact that I've encountered over the past thirty years. My only ‘twinge' is that [it] disclosed and explained (in glorious graphical detail and with real part numbers) many topics that I thought were my trade secrets. I love the plots. I know that compiling device characteristics must be overwhelming. It's worth the effort. The way it presents the data allows the reader to get a terrific perspective on a lot of landscapes from a single point of view. Nice work.”
John Willison, founder of Stanford Research Systems.

“Horowitz and Hill's third edition beautifully upgrades their earlier work, with substantial updates to detail and without compromise to style, content, or technical quality. Like the second edition I've used for years, it is laser-focused on the working engineer. Delivered in folksy Horowitz and Hill style, it is rich with the kind of nitty-gritty information that's invaluable to circuit designers and manufacturers, much of which is absent (or difficult to find) elsewhere. This new book is a superb update, one which I'm sure will be treasured by those close to the art of analog circuitry.”
Walt Jung, author of the IC Op-Amp Cookbook.

“This epic work was created by two of the best experts in the field, with many others providing information. It describes the current state of the art in electronics. Most parts of the book will continue to be relevant for several decades. The 1124 pages (even more densely packed with highly accurate information than the pages of the second edition) will delight everyone who already knows about electronics. You'll probably like the third edition better than the second. We recommend getting the book immediately because it has great information in both quality and quantity.”

“If you are looking for a handy and very practical electronics reference book, this is a decent one. I think you will enjoy it. Thanks to Horowitz and Hill for updating this classic.”
Lou Frenzel, Electronic Design (electronicdesign.com).

“If you are a hobbyist or maker who wants to acquire or improve a well-rounded knowledge of electronics, then The Art of Electronics is the perfect book for you.” It starts with the very basics of voltage, current, and resistance without becoming heavily dependent on physics theory or mathematics, and then covers a huge variety of intriguing topics. This book helps electronic engineering students develop an intuitive understanding, which makes math easier to put in context and is invaluable for design project work. The Art of Electronics brilliantly conveys its authors' enthusiasm and practical engineering experience, making it an inspiring read. Many people have described the earlier editions as the best book on electronics, so [this third edition] had a lot to live up to; fortunately, it does not disappoint. It deserves its gold cover.”
Ian Bell, Everyday Practical Economics.

‘I believe the strength of this book stems from the authors’ background in physics. The key is that electronics are not their primary interest. This ‘application perspective’ is most evident in their presentation: the material is presented to understand the behavior of electronic devices, circuits, and systems before the nitty-gritty details of calculating the behavior. The authors are also liberal in their use of commercially available parts in their presentation, something rarely, if ever, seen in a typical textbook. There is an abundance of warning, based on real-world experience, of the many traps that lie in wait for the practitioner of electronic art. Despite the analog bent, the digital information in this book is an excellent source for the analog engineer to get started using digital systems for the control of analog circuits. All in all, it's a highly recommended addition to the working engineer’s bookshelf.'
