Description
Pearson Microelectronic Circuit And Devices 2Nd Edition by Mark N Horenstein
For courses in Introductory Electronics for students majoring in electrical, computer, and related engineering disciplines.Using an innovative approach, this introduction to microelectronic circuits and devices views a circuit as an entire electronic system, rather than as a collection of individual devices. It provides students with the tools necessary to make intelligent choices in the design of analog and digital systems.
Salient Features
Focuses on the function of the circuit and its role in the overall electronic system.
Considers the properties of specific devices only after the primary function of the circuit has been addressed.
Introduces the MOSFET, BJT, and JFET in a single chapter on device properties. Subsequent chapters address the functions of important circuit configurations, then show examples of how these circuits can be synthesized using any of these semiconductor devices.
reorganization of BJT and MOSFET coverage designed to allow instructors to tailor presentation to meet classroom needs. BJTs and FETs may be covered together, or in the traditional manner by introducing BJTs first, followed by MOSFETs and JFETs.
covers the non-ideal properties on op-amps — including offset voltage, bias current, offset current, slew rate, and frequency limitations — using an approach that can be understood by those with little prior knowledge of transistor theory.
contains an optional discussion of photonic devices, including the photodiode, phototransistor, light-emitting diode, and laser diode.
includes a discussion of the MOSFET body effect and expands treatment of CMOS circuits.
digital regime as a limiting case is presented in Chapter 6, at the same time as analog concepts are introduced. Digital material is further expanded in Chapters 14 and 15.
greatly expanded coverage of feedback including discussions of the four classic feedback topologies, input mixing, output sampling, and feedback examples of BJT and MOSFET circuits.
condenses coverage of biasing and incorporates it with small-signal modeling into a single chapter—to highlight more clearly the interrelationship between these two concepts.
expands coverage of active filters and oscillators to include material on the various classical filter configurations, including the biquad, Butterworth, and Chebyshev filters.
features a new chapter that presents an overview of the electronic design process and provides numerous open-ended design problems that require students to integrate key topics from throughout the text and to use them in the synthesis of electronic circuits or systems.
includes four analog IC design problems.
contains numerous design examples and exercises throughout.
provides separate (optional) SPICE examples at the end of each chapter and an Appendix on SPICE.
contains over 2,000 graded, chapter-end problems — one-quarter of which are design-oriented.
