Providing an introduction to where, how and why the fundamental building blocks of electronic circuits are used, the objective of this book is to develop confidence in the using, designing and interpreting of electronic circuits. Wherever possible design equations are developed with 'rule-of-thumb' approximating techniques to enhance the student's understanding of an ability to design and modify circuits. The emphasis throughout is on the fundamental concepts and analysis techniques which can be applied to other more advanced circuits. Solutions Manual (013-575234-5).

This text offers a comprehensive introduction to a wide, relevant array of topics in analog electronics. It is intended for students pursuing courses in electrical, electronics, computer, and related engineering disciplines. Beginning with a review of linear circuit theory and basic electronic devices, the text moves on to present a detailed, practical understanding of many analog integrated circuits. The most commonly used analog IC to build practical circuits is the operational amplifier or op-amp. Its characteristics, basic configurations and applications in the linear and nonlinear circuits are explained. Modern electronic systems employ signal generators, analog filters, voltage regulators, power amplifiers, high frequency amplifiers and data converters. Commencing with the theory, the design of these building blocks is thoroughly covered using integrated circuits. The development of microelectronics technology has led to a parallel growth in the field of Micro-electromechanical Systems (MEMS) and Nano-electromechanical Systems (NEMS). The IC sensors for different energy forms with their applications in MEMS components are introduced in the concluding chapter. Several computer-based simulations of electronic circuits using PSPICE are presented in each chapter. These examples together with an introduction to PSPICE in an Appendix provide a thorough coverage of this simulation tool that fully integrates with the material of each chapter. The end-of-chapter problems allow students to test their comprehension of key concepts. The answers to these problems are also given.

Unlike books currently on the market, this book attempts to satisfy two goals: combine circuits and electronics into a single, unified treatment, and establish a strong connection with the contemporary world of digital systems. It will introduce a new way of looking not only at the treatment of circuits, but also at the treatment of introductory coursework in engineering in general. Using the concept of ''abstraction,'' the book attempts to form a bridge between the world of physics and the world of large computer systems. In particular, it attempts to unify electrical engineering and computer science as the art of creating and exploiting successive abstractions to manage the complexity of building useful electrical systems. Computer systems are simply one type of electrical systems.+Balances circuits theory with practical digital electronics applications.+Illustrates concepts with real devices.+Supports the popular circuits and electronics course on the MIT OpenCourse Ware from which professionals worldwide study this new approach.+Written by two educators well known for their innovative teaching and research and their collaboration with industry.+Focuses on contemporary MOS technology.
