Meet Dorothy, Jay FET, Ellie Dee, Ohmie and The Wizard!
The real Dorothy in the lab
Dorothy spent a lot of time in the electronics lab where her parents worked. One day, while staring at a circuit board, she found herself shrunk down into the tiny world of the components and set off on a journey to see the Wizard of Electronics!
Join Dorothy, Ohmie, Ellie Dee, and Jay FET on their adventure through Silicon City — where they face the Wicked Witch of ESD, are rescued by the Cloud of the Ionizing Wind, and learn from the Wizard himself about teamwork, purpose, and how circuits really work.
The excitement begins when the real Dorothy imagines herself pulled into the tiny world of a circuit board.
Dorothy imagines the wonderful world of SOIC and Friends!
Along the way, Dorothy meets Ohmie, Ellie Dee, Jay FET, and of course The Wizard!
Beyond the fun story, Wizard brings a complete arc of introduction to digital microchips in the bonus appendix, tracing the complexity from Field Effect Transistors to wafer-scale CPUs and GPUs.
A look inside the Wonderful Wizard of Electronics Appendix
The appendix includes a complete overview of how individual transistors are connected as circuits, logic gates and higher order functions.
