Publisher's Synopsis
This edition of a design-oriented treatment of discrete and integrated circuits anticipates future trends in the teaching of core electronics to electrical and computer engineering students. A major reorganization of the material enables students to get to the heart of the subject more quickly. Over 800 end-of-chapter problems cover all topics with a graded level of difficulty. Topics include the latest circuit technologies of BiCMOS and Gallium-Arsenide (GaAs), data converters, and memory. The material on power-supply design, filters and oscillators has been expanded. An intructor's manual with transparency masters is available free of charge with this text (0-19-511769-7).
