Offers two types of software for circuit simulation, and analysis. Expanded, updated Multisim® Version 14 and all-new LT Spice circuit files for selected examples and troubleshooting problems allow students to measure circuit quantities and troubleshoot faulty circuits in a simulated environment-offering an excellent transition to lab experiments. Files are available on the companion website www.pearsonhighered.com/careersresources/.

Offers an introduction to basic electronic communication devices and methods. An entirely new Chapter 18, "Communication Devices and Methods," introduces communication devices and systems.

UPDATED: Diversified problem sets-including basic, advanced, troubleshooting, datasheet, and Multisim troubleshooting problems-offer a chance to practice applying theorems and formulas, encouraging students to think through a solution in a logical manner. Many new problems are included in the Tenth Edition.

UPDATED: Offers expanded coverage of key topics, such as:

• FETs, including JFET limiting parameters, FINFET, UMOSFET, Current source biasing, Cascode dual-gate MOSFET, and tunneling MOSFET

• Thyristors, including SSRs using SCRs, and motor speed control

• Switching circuits, including interfacing with logic circuits

• PLL
