A comprehensive text that provides a practical introduction to the analysis and design of microelectronic circuits. It presents a circuit as an entire electronic system rather than as a collection of individual devices. It provides students with the tools to make intelligent choices when designing analog and digital systems. This revised and updated edition contains some 2,000 graded, end-of-chapter problems, and adds a new chapter which presents an overview of the electronic design process and provides numerous open-ended design problems.
