Learning the Art of Electronics by Thomas C Hayes

Learning the Art of Electronics by Thomas C Hayes

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.

Thomas C. Hayes worked as a Wall Street lawyer, then moved to Boston where he learned electronics by attending courses at Harvard and M.I.T. He then taught at Harvard and Boston University. His notes, designed for students new to electronics, grew into a succession of books, culminating in this current edition. David Abrams, after graduating from M.I.T, designed electronic instrumentation before co-founding Galactic Industries Corp. In 2001, David negotiated the sale of Galactic and entered Harvard Law School. After working as an Intellectual Property Associate and clerking for a Federal Judge, he ended up teaching circuit design at Harvard, where he updated the Laboratory Electronics course with the new FPGA and microcontroller lessons contained in this second edition. Paul Horowitz is a Professor of Physics and of Electrical Engineering, emeritus, at Harvard University, where he originated the Laboratory Electronics course in 1974 from which emerged 'The Art of Electronics' (1980). He is one of the pioneers of the search of intelligent life beyond Earth. Other research interests have included observational astrophysics, X-ray and particle microscopy, and optical interferometry. He is the author of some 200 scientific articles and reports, has consulted widely for industry and government, and is the designer of numerous electronic and photographic instruments.
