Microelectronics: Circuit Analysis and Design (4版)

PHILOSOPHY AND GOALS Microelectronics: Circuit Analysis and Design is intended as a core text in electronics for undergraduate electrical and computer engineering students. The purpose of the fourth edition of the book is to continue to provide a foundation for analyzing and designing both analog and digital electronic circuits. A goal is to make this book very readable and student-friendly. Most electronic circuit design today involves integrated circuits (ICs), in which the entire circuit is fabricated on a single piece of semiconductor material. The IC can contain millions of semiconductor devices and other elements and can perform complex functions. The microprocessor is a classic example of such a circuit. The ultimate goal of this text is to clearly present the operation, characteristics, and limitations of the basic circuits that form these complex integrated circuits. Although most engineers will use existing ICs in specialized design applications, they must be aware of the fundamental circuit's characteristics in order to understand the operation and limitations of the IC. Initially, discrete transistor circuits are analyzed and designed. The complexity of circuits being studied increases throughout the text so that, eventually, the reader should be able to analyze and design the basic elements of integrated circuits, such as linear amplifiers and digital logic gates. This text is an introduction to the complex subject of electronic circuits. Therefore, more advanced material is not included. Specific technologies, such as gallium arsenide, which is used in special applications, are also not included, although reference may be made to a few specialized applications. Finally, the layout and fabrication of ICs are not covered, since these topics alone can warrant entire texts. DESIGN EMPHASIS Design is the heart of engineering. Good design evolves out of considerable experience with analysis. In this text, we point out various characteristics and properties of circuits as we go through the analysis. The objective is to develop an intuition that can be applied to the design process. Many design examples, design exercise problems, and end-of-chapter design problems are included in this text. The end-of-chapter design problems are designated with a 'D'. Many of these examples and problems have a set of specifications that lead to a unique solution. Although engineering design in its truest sense does not lead to a unique solution, these initial design examples and problems are a first step, the author believes, in learning the design process. A separate section, Design Problems, found in the end-of-chapter problems, contains open-ended design problems.
