Learning the Art of Electronics: A Hands-On Lab Course

Description:

The much-anticipated new edition of 'Learning the Art of Electronics' is here! It defines a hands-on course, inviting the reader to try out the many circuits that it describes. Several new labs (on amplifiers and automatic gain control) have been added to the analog part of the book, which also sees an expanded treatment of meters. Many labs now have online supplements. The digital sections have been rebuilt. An FPGA replaces the less-capable programmable logic devices, and a powerful ARM microcontroller replaces the 8051 previously used. The new microcontroller allows for more complex programming (in C) and more sophisticated applications, including a lunar lander, a voice recorder, and a lullaby jukebox. A new section explores using an Integrated Development Environment to compile, download, and debug programs. Substantial new lab exercises, and their associated teaching material, have been added, including a project reflecting this edition's greater emphasis on programmable logic. Online resources including online chapters, teaching materials and video demonstrations can be found at: https://LearningTheArtOfElectronics.com.


Editorial Reviews

Review

‘The University of Maryland physics department has been using Learning the Art of Electronics for several years now as the basis for a course for senior undergraduates / young graduate students in order to give them the tools they need to be successful in experimental research. The course also serves a wide variety of Ph.D. candidates in our engineering college. The text, with its laboratory exercises, not only introduces them to the fundamentals of experiment readout and a wide variety of circuits and techniques, but methodically introduces them to the common mistakes and oversimplifications typical of new designers. I was thrilled to see this new edition contains an entirely new set of chapters introducing students to professional-level use of a microcontroller development environment and real-time operating systems, that goes far beyond the very simple exercises typically found on public web sites and other resources. We used preliminary versions of these exercises in our spring 2024 lab course, and the students were immediately able to use what they learned in their own research.’ Sarah C. Eno, University of Maryland, College Park

Book Description

Perfect for anyone seeking a hands-on way to learn about the innards of analog and digital circuits in just 28 labs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great textbook with labs as a focus

R.b. · October 24, 2025

Best lab book ever. Not just unanswered questions. Labs but in another text book around them.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book is well written.

G.Y. · July 30, 2025

The book was kind of a mixture of engineering (electrical) and a technician's lingo. It is very informative.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great content but should be available in digital format

T.C. · October 12, 2025

The content is great but it's a pity that a book about electronics is only available in paperback format which is only relevant to museums nowadays. Who reads such a massive printed technical book today without being able to search a word or phrase in the whole text or to zoom in the pages for comfortable reading? I resorted to purchasing an overhead scanner to be able to read the content at the comfort of my screen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly The Best Introduction to Hands-on Electronics

B. · May 21, 2025

This is a way better introduction to working with real electronics than any cookbook or starter kit. Although the full list of components needed to follow along wasn't the easiest to acquire and more expensive than a run-of-the-mill assortment, the selection is diverse and actually covers many functions. Paired with the main text, Art of Electronics, this will leave you with a solid baseline understanding of what the components are and how they work.Very helpful when facing the overwhelmingly massive economy of parts. Light on math and theory; instead focused on component selection. The whole collection compliments any traditional textbook on electronics very well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Course on Electronics

I have not gotten into the second edition, but I have done the first edition. It was excellent, and the updates to the second edition was exactly what I was hoping would be upgraded in the second edition. As I was going through the first edition I was thinking the digital section was a bit out dated but the second edition appears to have have tackled this problem. I am happy to see the authors are taking active steps in keeping the book in modern times. Truly a great time to be alive. Can't wait to see what this book holds.

5.0 out of 5 stars For ratings, please see the first edition (and this edition is even better)

D.A. · April 4, 2025

I rated this five stars -- but I may be biased since I am a co-author of this edition. There aren't any reviews yet since the second edition has only been available for a few weeks. However, you can read reviews of the first edition at https://www.Bolo.com/Learning-Art-Electronics-Hands-Course/dp/0521177235/. This edition improves on the previous one by updating the digital half of the book to include an FPGA (rather than a PAL) and replaces the 8051 with a modern ARM microcontroller programmed in C using a full IDE. It also includes heavy emphasis on finite state machine techniques for both hardware and software design and uses a Real Time Operating System to integrate tasks in the final uController project.

Excelente, mejor aún que la anterior edición

A. · June 22, 2025

La segunda edición de este libro práctico de electrónica es aún mejor que la anterior. Los circuitos que propone y el desarrollo de su presentación ayudan a la realización de proyectos prácticos que incluyen aspectos de detalle de la electrónica no disponibles en otros libros.El reenfoque completo de la parte de microcontroladores es excelente. Para todos aquellos que quieran ir más allá de la sencilla programación de Arduino, es excelente.

The Art of disappointing readers!

D.S. · June 7, 2025

Very disappointed! Who is the book intended for? Having studied Electronics theory from other great books, I wanted to get an insight and guidance to practical lab experience. The authors take too casual an approach in conveying the subject. Throughout the book the topics, explanations and lab exercises feel disconnected. It feels as though I have mistakenly entered a wrong classroom. They spontaneously introduce and refer to terms and topics which would not be mentioned till that point. I can point out numerous such instances. I wonder if the authors have even proofread the text. They have covered a great variety of important topics and content, but it all feels disconnected. The book feels like it is made for people who already have experience of working with electronics, but again the flow of the narration is so inconsistent that even such readers may be left wondering what's happening. Authors tried to make it a book that teaches electronics for a complete beginner, supposedly as an 'art', that fits their own definition. It is neither a textbook, nor a handbook, or a field book. It seems like an experiment with a concoction of a variety of teaching techniques. Two chapters into the book and I already feel I should look for some other book. Definitely not for beginners.

Tante nozioni, ma piuttosto confuse. Difetta di didattica e schematicità.

V.D. · September 25, 2025

Ho acquistato anche la versione originale del 1980: nel confronto, l'attuale perde clamorosamente rispetto a quella vecchia! Che era pulita, schematica, essenziale. Ora è molto fumo ma poco arrosto ... Si fa fatica a capire quali siano le cose importanti, e, soprattutto, a determinare come calcolare e risolvere i circuiti.

Ok.
