Neil Storey的《电子系统方法》第六版（2017年版）。

简介：
Editorial Reviews From the Inside Flap: When the initial edition of this book was published, it presented a remarkably innovative approach to electronics instruction. Prior to that time, most textbooks in this field relied on a bottom-up methodology, typically beginning with semiconductor materials and progressing through diodes, transistors, and biasing circuits before addressing simple amplifier designs. Circuit applications were often introduced only several chapters later. The first edition of *Electronics: A Systems Approach* pioneered a new instructional method by first explaining the intended uses and crucial characteristics of circuits, thereby laying the groundwork for detailed analysis. This approach significantly enhances comprehension and makes the learning process considerably more engaging. Furthermore, the first edition uniquely combined an integrated treatment of both analog and digital electronics within a single volume, fostering a shared understanding between these two distinct areas. While many existing texts remain predominantly device-centered, it’s encouraging to observe that an increasing number of authors are now adopting a more systems-oriented perspective. A common misconception surrounding this approach is that it lacks rigor in its treatment of the subject matter. Some instructors mistakenly believe that a book solely focused on complex mathematical equations fails to adequately represent established teaching traditions. However, the systems approach doesnt dictate the depth of study but rather defines the order and manner in which material is presented. Students will invariably require detailed examination of electronic component operation and an understanding of their underlying physics; nonetheless, grasping these characteristics and uses beforehand greatly facilitates absorption of this information. One significant advantage of this systems approach is its versatility – allowing a single text to serve a diverse range of students. All engineers and scientists should possess fundamental knowledge of electronics due to its widespread importance across numerous disciplines. Presenting information in a top-down fashion simplifies assimilation for all readers. For students specializing in electronics or related fields, this route provides access to material suitable for introductory courses covering analog and digital design. For other students, it offers comprehensive coverage of essential electronics concepts throughout their coursework. This revised edition incorporates new material designed to reflect advancements in this rapidly evolving field while retaining core principles. Key updates include: a substantial increase in computer simulation exercises utilizing downloadable demonstration files available free from MicroSim; inclusion of sections detailing laboratory instruments such as oscilloscopes and digital multimeters; an expanded section on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) reflecting its growing relevance; and integration of programmable logic devices (PLDs) replacing the limited coverage in the previous edition – alongside increased worked examples and self-assessment exercises including a new appendix outlining IEC 617 symbols for logic elements along with numerical answers for end-of-chapter exercises where indicated by italicized numbers (e.g., see Exercise 1.11 on page 14). Circuit Simulation Throughout the book, numerous computer simulation exercises support the texts content, marked by computer icons as illustrated on the left margin. These exercises can be performed using various circuit simulation packages; PSpice is recommended due to its widespread use within industry and academia – produced by MicroSim Corporation, it offers a comprehensive package including schematic capture capabilities and graphical results display alongside a free evaluation version with most features intact but restricted circuit complexity . Readers can obtain this software free via application form submission through MicroSim’s website at microsim . After completing this form within days they will receive their evaluation copy which can be loaded onto any computer or checked with system managers at universities/colleges if not already available . Given that teaching electronics rather than simulation is paramount ,the text does not delve into PSpice or other simulator usage ; most electronics programs incorporate courses focusing on modelling methods & limitations . Such courses are typically not part of non-electronics curricula . I firmly believe that all students benefit from simulation when studying electronics as it provides valuable insight into circuit operation & characteristics . Fortunately , acquiring basic simulation skills requires only minutes ,and I encourage all readers to leverage these powerful tools . Indeed , gaining familiarity with basic simulations prior to dedicated courses could prove beneficial for electronics students . A potential barrier to simulation adoption is preparing circuit files—even with user-friendly packages like PSpice , creating files can take several minutes especially for beginners . To mitigate this challenge & encourage wider utilization , we offer demonstration files enabling simulations without extensive simulator knowledge—requiring only file loading , execution & minor modifications – available in netlist & PSpice schematic formats which are accessible via MicroSim’s website after completing an online application form . Supplementary resources are also available through university system managers or from readily accessible texts utilizing PSpice documentation.
