Electronic Devices (Conventional Current Version)10th Edition

Book Preface

This tenth edition of Electronic Devices reflects changes recommended by users and reviewers. As in the previous edition, Chapters 1 through 11 are essentially devoted to dis-crete devices and circuits. Chapters 12 through 17 primarily cover linear integrated circuits. Multisim® circuit files in version 14 and LT Spice circuit files are available at the website: www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/Floyd.

New Features

◆ LT Spice circuit simulation.
◆ Mutlisim files upgraded to Version 14 and new files added.
◆ Several new examples.
◆ Expanded coverage of FETs including JFET limiting parameters, FINFET, UMOSFET, Current source biasing, Cascode dual-gate MOSFET, and tunneling MOSFET.
◆ Expanded coverage of thyristors including SSRs using SCRs, motor speed control.
◆ Expanded coverage of switching circuits including interfacing with logic circuits.
◆ Expanded PLL coverage.
◆ Many new problems.

Standard Features

◆ Full-color format.
◆ Chapter openers include a chapter outline, chapter objectives, introduction, key terms list, Device Application preview, and website reference.
◆ Introduction and objectives for each section within a chapter.
◆ Large selection of worked-out examples set off in a graphic box. Each example has a related problem for which the answer can be found at: www.pearsonglobaleditions .com/Floyd
◆ Multisim® circuit files for selected examples, troubleshooting, and selected prob-lems are on the companion website.
◆ LT Spice circuit files for selected examples and problems are on the companion website.
◆ Section checkup questions are at the end of each section within a chapter. Answers can be found at: www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/Floyd.
◆ Troubleshooting sections in many chapters.

◆ A Device Application is at the end of most chapters.
◆ A Programmable Analog Technology feature is at the end of selected chapters.
◆ A sectionalized chapter summary, key term glossary, and formula list at the end of each chapter.
◆ True/false quiz, circuit-action quiz, self-test, and categorized problem set with basic and advanced problems at the end of each chapter.
◆ Appendix with answers to odd-numbered problems, glossary, and index are at the end of the book.
◆ Updated PowerPoint® slides, developed by Dave Buchla, are available online. These innovative, interactive slides are coordinated with each text chapter and are an excel-lent tool to supplement classroom presentations.
◆ A laboratory manual by Dave Buchla and Steve Wetterling coordinated with this textbook is available in print.

Student Resources

Digital Resources (www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/Floyd) This section offers stu-dents an online study guide that they can check for conceptual understanding of key top-ics. Also included on the website are tutorials for Multisim® and LT Spice. Answers to Section Checkups, Related Problems for Examples, True/False Quizzes, Circuit-Action Quizzes, and Self-Tests are found on this website.
Circut Simulation (www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/Floyd) These online files include simulation circuits in Multisim® 14 and LT Spice for selected examples, troubleshoot-ing sections, and selected problems in the text. These circuits were created for use with Multisim® or LT Spice software. These circuit simulation programs are widely regarded as excellent for classroom and laboratory learning. However, no part of your textbook is dependent upon the Multisim® or LT Spice software or provided files.
