To those that have "The Art of Electronics",
is there much difference
between the first and second editions? Is one "preferable" to the
I have both...
The 2nd edition has several new sections -- on micropower designs, on
SMPSUs, and so on. For classic-computer people it even includes a
schematic of the Tandy 2000 PSU...
There was very little taken out IMHO. The main change was in the
microprocessor sections -- the 1st edtiion was based on 8-bit chips (I
forget which one -- 8085? Z80?), the 2nd edtion is based on the 8086/8088
(and the lab manual covers the 68008)
