This comprehensive text is suitable for introductory courses in analogue and digital electronics design. Its unique 'top-down' systems approach to electronics starts by covering overall concepts and gradually increasing the level of detail as the reader progresses through the book – ideal for motivating students new to this subject.

It covers the electronics material needed to provide an initial understanding of the design, operation and use of electronic circuits.

The accompanying simulation tools help students conceptualise and understand electronic circuits by allowing the reader to visualise the relevant systems, and by reducing the need to perform complex mathematical analysis.
