Description
Microelectronic Circuits, Seventh Edition, is intended as a text for the core courses in electronic circuits taught to majors in electrical and computer engineering. It should also prove useful to engineers and other professionals wishing to update their knowledge through self-study.
As was the case with the first six editions, the objective of this book is to develop in the reader the ability to analyze and design electronic circuits, both analog and digital, discrete and integrated. While the application of integrated circuits is covered, emphasis is placed on transistor circuit design. This is done because of our belief that even if the majority of those studying this book were not to pursue a career in IC design, knowledge of what is inside the IC package would enable intelligent and innovative application of such chips. Furthermore, with the advances in VLSI technology and design methodology, IC design itself has become accessible to an increasing number of engineers.
Prerequisites
The prerequisite for studying the material in this book is a first course in circuit analysis. As a review, some linear circuits material is included here in the appendices: specifically, two-port network parameters in Appendix C; some useful network theorems in Appendix D; single-time-constant circuits in Appendix E; and s-domain analysis in Appendix F. In addition, a number of relevant circuit analysis problems are included at the beginning of the end-of-chapter problems section of Chapter 1. No prior knowledge of physical electronics is assumed. All required semiconductor device physics is included, and Appendix A provides a brief description of IC fabrication. All these appendices can be found on the book’s website.
