Fundamentals of Microelectronics, 3rd
Edition, is a comprehensive introduction to the design and analysis of
electrical circuits, enabling students to develop the practical skills
and engineering intuition necessary to succeed in their future careers.
Through an innovative “analysis by inspection” framework, students
learn to deconstruct complex problems into familiar components and
reach solutions using basic principles. A step-by-step synthesis
approach to microelectronics demonstrates the role of each device in a
circuit while helping students build “design-oriented” mindsets.
The
revised third edition covers basic semiconductor physics, diode models
and circuits, bipolar transistors and amplifiers, oscillators,
frequency response, and more. In-depth chapters feature illustrative
examples and numerous problems of varying levels of difficulty,
including design problems that challenge students to select the bias
and component values to satisfy particular requirements. The text
contains a wealth of pedagogical tools, such as application sidebars,
chapter summaries, self-tests with answers, and Multisim and SPICE
software simulation problems. Now available in enhanced ePub format,
Fundamentals of Microelectronics is ideal for single- and two-semester
courses in the subject.
