hi everyone,

i want to know your reviews on this book. amazon has very good reviews. i am a beginner in electronic. was recommended by someone to get this book. would you recommend some other simple book? and how do you pronounce "Malvino"?

my friend has Electronic Circuits, Analysis and Design by Donald A Neamen. it is very difficult, full of math. not for me!:smile:

many thanks for your time and your review.

cheers

I know I studied a very simple electronic book by someone called Malvino. It was and I still think it's a fantastic book. For the longest time, I used the info I learn from this book to get myself promoted from a tech to an engineer in the early 80s. If it is the same one, I would say it is the best book bar none.

It uses a very simple model to explain transistors in terms of [itex]r'_e[/itex] when it is calculate as 25 ohm at 1mA. It is so simple it actually worked. I know because I was a bipolar IC designer and I was armed with nothing much more than that in 84!

If that is your book, that is the best I ever have...and I am speaking as a self studier the post grad at this point and I have more books in the topics of EM and RF than Stanford Univ. Books store! I have no reservation to say this is the best intro book to electronics. The OP-AMP section is the best I ever seen, being able to explain clearly without getting into Laplace transform and all. I studied Laplace transform and Nyquist stability and all, I still think the simple way Malvino explained about the poles and zero compansation so you get one pole when crossing the close loop gain of 1 to get stability.

If this it the book, go for it, you won't find a better one. And I put my name behind this book.

many thanks yungman for telling me your opinion. i would use this after your praise.
