About this item:

At long last, here is the thoroughly revised and updated third edition of the hugely successful The Art of Electronics. It is widely accepted as the best single authoritative book on electronic circuit design. In addition to new or enhanced coverage of many topics, the third edition includes 90 oscilloscope screenshots illustrating the behavior of working circuits, dozens of graphs giving highly useful measured data of the sort that is often buried or omitted in datasheets but which you need when designing circuits, and 80 tables (listing some 1650 active components), enabling intelligent choice of circuit components by listing essential characteristics (both specified and measured) of available parts. The new Art of Electronics retains the feeling of informality and easy access that helped make the earlier editions so successful and popular. It is an indispensable reference and the gold standard for anyone, student or researcher, professional or amateur, who works with electronic circuits.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"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 for the third edition has been worth the wait! Packed with tons of delicious knowledge to navigate electronics in both work and hobby. An encyclopedia of electronics knowledge, [The Art of Electronics] is a pleasure to read through for tips and tricks and is 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 pin outs, 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 forklifted [Chapter 5] onto my reading table, I sat down and read it. It is simply spectacular. That may be an overly exclamatory language, but it is the only appropriate verbiage I can summon. Spectacular, deep and wide. I especially like the comments about interpreting specifications and the deconstruction of the Agilent voltmeters is just, well, wonderful."
Jim Williams, Linear Technology Corp.

"Wow. Chapter 5 details every circuit artifact that I've encountered in the past thirty years in a through, pragmatic, and straightforward way. 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 personal trade secrets. I love the plots. I know that it must take an enormous effort to collate all of the device characteristics. It's worth the effort. The way, it present's the data allows the reader to get terrific perspective on a lot of landscape in a single view. Nice work."
John Willison, founder, 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, IC Op-Amp Cookbook.

"This epic work was created by two of the best experts in the field (with many others providing information). It defines 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. It is almost certain that you will like the third edition even more than the second. The information that is now available in the book is absolutely fantastic, both the quality and the quantity, and you should get [it] as soon as you can"
Wise Warthog blog.

"If you are looking for a handy and very practical electronics reference book, this is a good 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 an ideal book for you. It starts from the very basics of voltage, current and resistance without getting heavily dependent on physics theory or mathematics, and proceeds to cover a huge variety of interesting topics. For electronic engineering students, [this book] will help you develop the intuitive understanding, which will make it easier to put the maths in context, and it will be invaluable when you do practical work for design projects. The Art of Electronics brilliantly conveys its authors’ enthusiasm and experience of practical engineering and is 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 being that electronics is not their primary interest. This ‘application perspective’ is most evident in their presentation: the material is presented with the goal of understanding the behavior of electronic devices, circuits, and systems before the nitty-gritty details of calculating the behaviour. 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 the electronic art. In spite of 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, a highly recommended addition to the working engineer’s bookshelf. ' Greg Oshiro , Journal of the Audio Engineering Society.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Lives on my Workbench

Overall, this book is really great. It covers a wide range of topics. It presents some relevant theory and historical perspectives. And, it contains schematics of sample circuits and references part numbers of components currently in production. Keep in mind that the 3rd edition of this book was published in 2015 so there are definitely some more contemporary components out there but often they are still made by the same manufacturer.One of my favorite parts about owning this book though is that it has often been quicker, less frustrating, and more illuminating than doing a simple online search when I first sit down to design a circuit. Of course, this statement should be treated with a caveat: I am not a professional electrical engineer. I don't have any educational nor vocational experience in analog electronics, and I'm not designing insanely complicated circuits. Most of what I have learned comes from this book, online forums, and technical datasheets from manufacturers.Because of this, I would say it is an incredibly beginner friendly text for those designing circuits. It does contain math, uses technical vocabulary, and asks you to read a schematic/graph/table, but these are all well labeled, accurately defined, and clearly depicted. I haven't found myself lost because of a simple omission that the authors felt was too obvious to mention nor a poorly defined or ambiguous term. Needless to say, it sits happily on my workbench full of notes and a couple burn marks from my soldering iron.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative…

A. · June 26, 2024

My background: Yeah, I know a little about electricity, some formulas, can fix some wires, use a multimeter for resistance, volts, amps, eric, but want to build some stuff that is more on the microprocessor side, so enter this book into the Bolo search bar…Results - You're going to be searching the interwebz a lot for some of the formulas he jumps into right off the bat. BUT… authors are good at taking a practical approach. You'll do understanding more and more almost immediately. He does start off with stuff most people looking into this would know, so it's kind of a review of basics before getting rolling. I can see very quickly why advanced guys consult other books, but search engines have same info to understand the book as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most important and inspiring book on electronics there is.

T.M.B. · May 11, 2015

To me, there is no one more important book in my life than H&H. I certainly do not know of a better electronics text (and I like electronics texts).Further, I believe my career in engineering boils down to a few distinct pushes in that direction before it was in my blood (and therefore too late). One of the big ones was getting a copy of AoE 2nd Edition in school.So, I would have bought the 3rd edtion no matter what.Incredibly, the 3rd edition has expanded many of the things I loved about the 2nd edition. The section on low noise design is much better and much more useful and it was pretty great before. The digital stuff is obviously much more relevant (although it may not stay that way). The "circuits from the masters" sections and the case studies of specific circuit designs are fascinating and useful (although I do miss the hilarious "bad circuits" sections).Finally, and most importantly, you can tell that H&H themselves were active engineers in the world between the last edition and this one -- building circuits and solving problems and reading other works and being influenced by the work and scholarship and generally just continuing to rule. The dedication to Jim Williams showed that like me and all other analog nerds I know out there, they had been eagerly reading all his stuff. The section on microcontrollers exactly parallels some of the design ideas, biases, and gut feelings that I and other embedded engineers have taken the past fifteen years developing by plowing through all the exciting architecture and tool changes that have happened from EEPROM PICs to ARMs.Finally, the intellectual integrity, raw practicality, and HANDS-ON-ness of this book are unparalleled. If everybody were required to read this book before designing circuits, there would be a lot fewer crappy circuits out there.Oh, yeah. And it's fun, too.

Mais voltado a profissionais de projeto e manutenção de circuitos eletrônicos

Resume a maioria de dicas encontradas em "datasheets". Aborda asssuntos correlatos de determinados componentes ou dispositivos, indicando vantagens e soluções de compromisso ("trade-offs"). Penso que seja uma publicação mais orientada a profissionais do ramo, ou então iniciantes que querem dominar o assunto. Acredito não ser muito adequado como publicação para uma sequência didática, e sim para consultas.

The best book out there

V.S. · May 15, 2025

One of the best books that I have ever read. Very detailed. Beginners friendly

Uitstekend naslagwerk.

Zeer compleet en heldere uitleg.

No es un libro para principiantes. Pero si es un libro profesional.

F.E.B. · October 19, 2018

Soy auto-didacta y llevo 2 años aprendiendo electronica como hobby, finalmente este año di el paso siguiente y me adquiri mi equipo mas profesional como el osciloscopio, generador de señales, fuentes de poder, etc etc. Y con esto decidí tambien dar un paso adelante y me compre los dos libros de ART of ELECTRONICS. CUando lo comencé a revisar me di cuenta desde las primeras hojas que no sabia nada. Se me presentaron temas como la ley de Kirchoff's la cual no habia escuchado antes. Si hubiera comenzado hace dos años con este libro, no hubiara ni siquiera comenzado a aprender por la profundidad con que se presenta. Hice lo correcto y apenas ahora que ya tengo mas calma y experiencia puedo sentarme a revisar temas mas complicados trabajar con la verdadera fisica y matematica que implican algunos circuitos.Recomiendo los dos libros de ART Of Electronics a las personas que ya van a dar un paso mas complejo en su aprendizaje o que de plano domina mas las formulas y circuitos complejos. El libro es muy completo, explica todo desde los diferentes tipos de componentes hasta el circuito mas básico.Recomendado!

アナログ回路技術のエッセンスを網羅的にまとめた良書

L. · May 6, 2016

アナログ回路技術のエッセンスを網羅的にまとめた良書です。初学者にはアナログ回路設計にはどのような世界が広がっているのかを概観することが出来、また、ベテランエンジニアには、自分の知識を整理したり、あるいは補足するのに適しています。微に入り細に入り検証することが主な仕事のアナログ回路設計ですが、著者の実績と経験に裏打ちされたユーモアとウィットに富んだ語り口調は堅苦しくなく、読んでいて思わずにやりとしてしまいます。といっても、文章は平易な英語で書かれていて、英文のデータシートが読める人には読みにくいところは無いと思います。やや褒めすぎかも知れませんが、アナログ回路のエレガンスから泥臭いところまで、なんでもかんでも魅力的です。私的には第5章の精密アナログ回路の章は本当にわくわくします。アナログ回路設計を生業とする技術者として、自信を持ってお薦めします。
