Fundamentals of Microelectronics

Fundamentals of Microelectronics, 3^rd 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 req
