Microelectronic Circuit Design. This item is unavailable.Microelectronic Circuit Design

The primary goal of this book is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the basic techniques of modern electronic circuit design: analog and digital, discrete and integrated. With its balanced treatment of digital and analog electronics, this book is one of the first written specifically to meet the demands for increased coverage of digital electronics. The book is divided into three parts. Part I is an introduction to electronics and solid-state devices. Part II covers digital electronics, emphasizing the subject commensurate with its importance in modern circuit design. Part III deals with traditional analog circuits and offers an innovative approach that stresses the design tradeoffs between the FET and the BJT.

The text contains a comprehensive treatment of digital circuits, emphasizing NMOS and CMOS design and providing a basic introduction to VLSI design techniques, including memory circuits.
The design process is integrated throughout the text beginning immediately with the solid-state device chapters. The chapters on NMOS and CMOS logic are presented from a design point of view. The section on analog design integrates the coverage of FET and BJT devices in order to allow discussion of design tradeoffs.
Computers are used as a problem solving tool throughout the text in a variety of ways.
The text's flexible organization means that the instructor can move directly from the Solid-State Electronics and Devices material in Part One to either Part Two - Digital Electronics, or Part Three - Analog Electronics, with equal ease.
The history of electronics is presented to provide students with perspective on how far electronics has advanced in a short period of time and its economic impact.
