What's New
The third edition introduces brand new pedagogy grounded in real-world design issues.
Design tradeoffs - In many design examples, tradeoffs are discussed in order to illustrate the choices that have to be made in real-world circuit design scenarios. For example, the effects of tolerances in resistor values and/or transistor parameters on circuit performance.
Exercise problems follow each example in the text, helping students actively self-determine whether they are understanding the material.
Test Your Understanding problems conclude each major section within each chapter. These problems, more comprehensive than the exercises throughout the text, allow a more in-depth skills check.
PSpice exercises added throughout each chapter, with application files available.
Design applications provide real-life, in-depth design studies, walking the student through the evolving design of an electronic thermometer as it is constructed from scratch.
MOS and BJT have been reorganized so that their presentation is entirely flexible.
Preview sections - bulleted objectives lay out the topics and learning goals at the beginning of each chapter. These objectives are then reinforced before their corresponding section within the chapter.
