Art of Electronics, Chapter 2x

[mikewhy]

Reading 3rd Edition on Kindle, the text and footnotes make frequent reference to Chapter 2x. Is there really a Chapter 2x? Or is this some artifact from the Kindle layout? Are references in the print Edition the same? Where is this really cool Chapter?

Another book is in the works with X-tra info relating to the material from the corresponding chapter from the 3rd edition.

can you give some concrete examples of locations, so those of us with e.g. the print edition know where to look?

Pg. 93 footnote: "30 The connection between Early voltage and ? is ?=VT/(VA+VCE)? VT/VA; see Chapter 2x. "

The given answer above explains the -x chapters as part of an upcoming, already written but not yet released book. I expect you'll find identical references in the printed version.

Thanks. Indeed my printed copy has the same erroneous cross-references. They are not, however, references to a chapter twentysomething, but rather to chapter two-point-something. For example, a few pages later a footnote says to refer to chapter 2x for more discussion of current sources and current mirrors. Current mirrors are discussed on pp 101-105 or so, just a few pages later, still within chapter 2.

I’ll have to check whether the errata on the AoE website has been updated to reflect these.

In any case, I hadn’t noticed these errors until you mentioned them. Yet another disappointing lack of quality control in this book.

The reference to chapter 2x does not refer to chapter twenty-something nor to chapter 2-point-something. It refers to an as-yet-unreleased companion book (the x-chapters) that contains more detailed information. Refer to the last paragraph in the preface, page XXIX.

In this case, while current mirrors may have been discussed a few pages later, they will certainly be covered in greater depth in the x-chapters.

Just saw this.  The right answer probably should have been .... soon....

When do you plan to release the x chapters?

Horowitz:  The x chapters book will come out in no more than two years’ time—I would like it to be less. It’s already about fifty percent written with figures and everything else already.

I hope it's not this kind of soon
