Microelectronic Circuits : Analysis and Design

Take a 'breadth-first' approach to learning electronics with a strong emphasis on design and simulation in MICROELECTRONIC CIRCUITS: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN, 3E. This book introduces the general characteristics of circuits (ICs) to prepare you to effectively use circuit design and analysis techniques. The author then offers a more detailed study of devices and circuits and how they operate within ICs. Important circuits are analyzed in worked-out examples to introduce basic techniques and emphasize the effects of parameter variations. More than half of the problems and examples concentrate on design and use software tools extensively. You learn to apply theory to real-world design problems as you master computer simulations for testing and verifying your designs.

Review :
"The material flows very well from chapter to chapter. It is easy to follow the thread of thought... As this book puts a lot of emphasis on design problems, it will serve the students well in grasping the materials... Those design problems are extremely helpful. They not only put the knowledge into context, but also show the students how to reverse engineer." "There are ample examples associated with the topics covered and more than enough problems to solve at the end of chapters...[The book] covers electronic circuits extensively and with detailed mathematics and circuit analysis."
