Using a structured, systems approach, this book provides a modern, thorough treatment of electronic devices and circuits. KEY TOPICS Topical selection is based on the significance of each topic in modern industrial applications and the impact that each topic is likely to have in emerging technologies. Integrated circuit theory is covered extensively, including coverage of analog and digital integrated circuit design, operational amplifier theory and applications, and specialized electronic devices and circuits such as switching regulators and optoelectronics. For electronic engineers and technologists.
Ive been reading several electronic books, and they are quite different, I decided I want to re-learn from scratch most about semiconductors, so I have 3 books: "Electronic Design" by Savant, Roden and Carpenter, "Electronic Devices" by Floyd, and the classic "Electronic devices and Circuit Theory" by Boylestad.
While im very fond of math, some math/theory or physicist oriented books like Savant "Electronic Design" or Sedra/Smith "Microelectronic devices" lack the practicality of Floyds book, and focus mostly on stuff that I find to be completely useless (at least so far). For example, Ive been reading about the diode, and both books give a lengthy explanation on how the diode works, and all the math around it. They end up presenting the following formula (among many others derived from it):

Modern Electronics has come to be known as microelectronics which refers to the Integrated Circuits (ICs) containing millions of discrete devices. This course introduces some of the basic electronic devices like diodes and different types of transistors. It also aims to introduce students the analysis and design techniques of circuits involving these discrete devices as well as the integrated circuits.Completion of this course is essential to specialise in Electrical, Telecommunication or Computer Engineering stream.
Cellular metabolism is a very complex process. The biochemical pathways are fundamental structures of biology. These pathways possess a number of regeneration steps which facilitate energy shuttling on a massive scale. This facilitates the biochemical pathways to sustain the energy currency of the cells. This concept has been mimicked using electronic circuit components and it has been used to increase the efficiency of bio-energy generation. Six of the carbohydrate biochemical pathways have been chosen in which glycolysis is the principle pathway. All the six pathways are interrelated and coordinated in a complex manner. Mimic circuits have been designed for all the six biochemical pathways. The components of the metabolic pathways such as enzymes, cofactors etc., are substituted by appropriate electronic circuit components. Enzymes are related to the gain of transistors by the bond dissociation energies of enzyme-substrate molecules under consideration. Cofactors and coenzymes are represented by switches and capacitors respectively. Resistors are used for proper orientation of the circuits. The energy obtained from the current methods employed for the decomposition of organic matter is used to trigger the mimic circuits. A similar energy shuttle is observed in the mimic circuits and the percentage rise for each cycle of circuit functioning is found to be 78.90. The theoretical calculations have been made using a sample of domestic waste weighing 1.182 kg. The calculations arrived at finally speak of the efficiency of the novel methodology employed.
