The Art of Electronics
Third Edition
At long last, here is the thoroughly revised and updated, and long-anticipated, third edition of the hugely successful
The Art of Electronics. Widely accepted as the best single authoritative text and reference on electronic circuit design,
both analog and digital, the first two editions were translated into eight languages, and sold more than a million copies
worldwide. The art of electronics is explained by stressing the methods actually used by circuit designers – a combination
of some basic laws, rules of thumb, and a nonmathematical treatment that encourages understanding why and how a
circuit works.
Paul Horowitz is a Research Professor of Physics and of Electrical Engineering at Harvard University, where in 1974
he originated the Laboratory Electronics course from which emerged The Art of Electronics. In addition to his work in
circuit design and electronic instrumentation, his research interests have included observational astrophysics, x-ray and
particle microscopy, and optical interferometry. He is one of the pioneers of the search for intelligent life beyond Earth
(SETI). He is the author of some 200 scientific articles and reports, has consulted widely for industry and government,
and is the designer of numerous scientific and photographic instruments.
Winfield Hill is by inclination an electronics circuit-design guru. After dropping out of the Chemical Physics graduate
program at Harvard University, and obtaining an E.E. degree, he began his engineering career at Harvard’s Electronics
Design Center. After 7 years of learning electronics at Harvard he founded Sea Data Corporation, where he spent 16 years
designing instruments for Physical Oceanography. In 1988 he was recruited by Edwin Land to join the Rowland Institute
for Science. The institute subsequently merged with Harvard University in 2003. As director of the institute’s Electronics
Engineering Lab he has designed some 500 scientific instruments. Recent interests include high-voltage RF (to 15 kV),
high-current pulsed electronics (to 1200 A), low-noise amplifiers (to sub-nV and pA), and MOSFET pulse generators
