Summary: many problems
Review: this book has many problems..

firstly.. it is overly informal...

secondly.. the beginning chapters on the physics and chemistry of semiconductors (ptype n type) are garbage... do atoms really have 2,8,8,8.... configuration in it's energy levels??? NO... we assumed that in grade 10 chem.. just to make it easier.. and the stuff on energy levels is pathetic also... very basic chem/physics...

there are 3 levels of approximations for semiconductors devices... 1st is ideal, 2nd is practical... 3rd is complete... for college level students.. complete approx isn't used.... they use 2nd approx for doing analysis.. and 1st for doing troubleshooting only... yet the author jumps around.. .for clippers clampers and voltage multipliers.. the author does his analysis based on the 1st approx....

then for other sections.. he lays out pages upon pages of formulas.. that really should be common sense (KVL, KCL).. and he sets out formulas for both 1st and second approx.. it's just superfluous...

then the end of chapters exercises are alway slike "refer to the circuit of fig. 4.6.. and use the spec sheets for the 1N400X series of diodes on page 34.. blah blah blah"... it's so annoying flipping around.. i would often do the wrong circuit... for a question..

the book is just not well designed....

I want a professional textbook.. now one for kindergarten kids...
